Ainsdale's 1960s–70s estate housing was built with fascia boards of varying quality — some properties have original timber that has been well-maintained, while others have boards that have been repainted repeatedly without the underlying rot being addressed. The coastal humidity of the PR8 3 postcode accelerates any existing moisture ingress.

Nail-sick roofs in Ainsdale often have associated fascia deterioration — the same age and maintenance profile that produces nail sickness in the tile fixing produces rot in unmaintained timber fascias. We assess both at the survey.
UPVC replacement. Rafter feet checked where fascia rot is advanced. Combined with re-roof quote where nail sickness is also present.
Every job starts with a free on-roof survey. You receive a written quote specifying exactly what will be done, the materials to be used, and the total cost. No work begins without written acceptance. Call 01704 620 427 to arrange.

“1968 semi on Sandhurst Avenue — fascia rot had reached the rafter feet on one corner. They repaired the rafter and replaced the full fascia run in UPVC.”
“Combined the fascia replacement with a nail sickness re-roof survey. One scaffold, clear picture of both issues.”
“Good straightforward job. UPVC throughout, ventilated soffit, new guttering. Done in two days.”
We probe-test every fascia board before specifying UPVC replacement or cladding. Sound timber can be clad with UPVC over the existing board at lower cost. Rotten timber requires full removal and replacement — proceeding without this check risks new UPVC pulling away from rotten backing within 12–18 months. The assessment is part of the free survey.
Where fascia rot is advanced, we check rafter foot condition. Rafter feet are the most expensive structural consequence of deferred fascia maintenance — if moisture has tracked behind the fascia into the rafter foot, sistering the rafter and treating the timber is required before any new fascia can be fixed securely.
UPVC fascia boards are fixed to the rafter feet using stainless screws. Soffit panels are fitted on ventilated or standard specification as confirmed at survey. New gutter brackets are positioned at correct fall angle before the guttering is fitted. All union joints are sealed with low-temperature compound specified for the coastal environment. Call 01704 620 427 for a free survey.
New guttering is fitted after fascia installation to ensure correct bracket fixings. Fall angle is confirmed with a spirit level before brackets are fixed — the most common cause of overflowing gutters is incorrect fall set at installation rather than blockage. We confirm fall on completion.
Fascia and soffit replacement is quoted only after a free on-site survey — we need to see the timber condition, measure the full fascia run, and confirm gutter sizing requirements. Call 01704 620 427 to arrange. Most survey visits are completed within 48 hours of your call.
Fascia replacement on a standard semi typically takes one to two days. We protect the area below with dust sheets and clear all debris at the end of each day. Access to the front and rear of the property is required. The old fascia material and packaging are removed and disposed of.
We walk the completed installation with you, confirm all fall angles are correct, and provide written completion documentation. New UPVC fascia requires no maintenance beyond occasional cleaning. Guttering should be inspected annually in autumn to clear leaf debris.
