These boards are located on the edge of the roof overhang and are used to support the first row of tiles and guttering. Here is a brief overview of what you get for your money.
Keep reading to see how much it all costs. Scaffold — most installers will have their own access equipment, this is usually an access tower that can be easily erected to the height of the roof. Boards and handrails can be used to extend the platform over obstacles such as conservatories.
On rare occasions, perhaps due to an inaccessible area that is too high or above a public footpath, a scaffold company may be brought in to erect more heavy-duty equipment. We have separate prices for scaffold here. Replace rot — the rafters are a structural part of the roof and responsible for supporting the entire roof above. The lower part of the rafter is often exposed to the elements and any rot should be cut off and replaced.
As a general rule of thumb; if your existing fascia boards are showing signs of rot, there is a good chance of at least some rot spreading to the rafter feet. Fitting the boards — the soffits, bargeboards and fascias are secured to the rafters with stainless steel nails that will never rot or degrade.
These boards come in 5-metre lengths and are joined with a special cover strip that leaves an allowance for thermal expansion. Guttering — the gutters are always installed at a slight angle so rainwater flows into the outlets and vertical pipes that carry the water to ground level. The bracket spacing is also important as too far apart and the gutter may sag during heavy rainfall or snow. We feel a good limit is mm although many installers choose mm spacings. All joints and outlets should also be held in place with screws to prevent thermal movement.
Vents and eaves — vents help to reduce or prevent condensation in the loft, there are several options to choose from; some visible and some hidden behind the gutter. Eaves felt overlaps into the guttering and should always be replaced as the existing felt will mostly be rotten at this exposed part of the roof. Waste disposal — there is a lot of waste from a typical roofline installation, your installer will probably need one trip to a waste disposal or in some cases, they may hire a skip.
See how much skip hire and waste disposal cost here. Blocked drains — blockages underground mean that your new gutters may overflow. See how much drain unblocking will cost you here.
Leaf guards and filters — these prevent leaves and other bits of debris from entering the gutters. These are an optional extra but worth considering if you have a lot of overhanging trees close to your roof.
Woodgrain effect coloured boards — Mahogany and Rosewood woodgrain effect coloured boards cost more than plain white ones. The poll below is optional but we would like to know how much you think a new roofline to a semi-detached house will cost. To remove and replace the boards and rainwater gutters as described on this page, we believe the cost to be:. Here we break down the cost of materials, labour, waste disposal, profits and VAT for a typical installation to a semi-detached house:.
This article addresses the costs of replacing fascias and soffits with the durable Upvc. For a typical 3 bedroom semi-detached house on two floors, replacing soffits and fascia board will require the erection of scaffolding. The price guide below assumes there are no access issues for scaffolding erection such as conservatories or parked vehicles which cannot be moved.
The price does not include any remedial work to structural timbers, which are assumed to be in great condition. The house has a tiled, two hip roof with gutters to the front and rear of the property. The cost of fascias and soffits is a small component of the overall price, with scaffolding costing over one third of the cost.
The job will take two men a total of three days to complete. The above is an average price for the job and variations in prices can be expected across the different regions of the UK.
If you want the gutters replaced at the same time then extra costs will also apply. Standard white UPVC soffits and fascias are included in the price above. Other UPVC styles such as wood grain effect will cost considerably more. The Fascias and soffits costs in this article are correct as of Fascias and soffits are integral parts of most houses, yet many people would probably be unable to point them out on a building.
They are the elements that cover the end of the roof beams which project outwards from the wall and beneath the roof, with the fascias forming the vertical, front-facing side, and soffits the horizontal part beneath.
Together with guttering, they help divert water away from the roof and walls, protecting your home from lasting damage. Fascias and soffits have traditionally been made from wood, which can warp and split after years of exposure to the elements, so they are now traditionally made from uPVC. This article will look at soffit and fascia costs when installing new uPVC units, and give you a good idea to the kind of prices you can expect from fascia and soffits specialists.
