Fascias and soffits in Barnsley
Roofline replaces fascias, soffits and bargeboards across Barnsley in low-maintenance uPVC. We take the rotten timber off rather than capping over it, build in the ventilation the roof needs, and fit new guttering at the same time for a complete, finished roofline.
Replacement, not cap-over
The fascia is the board along the edge of the roof that carries the gutter. The soffit is the panel underneath that closes the gap to the wall. The bargeboard runs up the gable. On most Barnsley houses built before the 1990s they are painted softwood, and after decades of weather they rot from the back where you cannot see it.
Some firms nail a thin uPVC sheet over the old timber. It looks fine for a while and hides the rot as it carries on. Roofline removes the old boards, checks the rafter feet and wall plate behind them, and fits new full-thickness uPVC fascia and soffit that will not need painting again.

Signs it is time to replace the roofline
Fascias are easy to check from the ground. Soffits usually fail first at the corners and the joints.

- Gaps between the soffit and the wall
- Birds getting into the roof space
- Staining and streaks on the boards from a leaking gutter
- Sagging or bowing along the eaves
- You are repainting every few years

Fascias and soffits: your questions
What is the difference between capping and replacing fascias?
Capping fixes a thin uPVC board over the existing timber. Replacing removes the timber and fits a full-thickness board. Capping is cheaper up front but hides rot that keeps spreading into the rafter feet, and it usually has to be done again. Roofline replaces.
How long does a full roofline replacement take?
A typical semi-detached house takes one to two days including new guttering. A detached house with gables takes two to three days.
What colours can I have?
White is still the most popular. Black, anthracite grey and woodgrain finishes such as rosewood and golden oak are all available, and you can mix them, for example white soffits with an anthracite fascia and gutter.
