Fascias, Soffits & Gutteringin Coventry, Clean UPVCThat Actually Sits Straight
Roofline UPVC is the frame around your roof, visible from the street, exposed to every drop of rain, and quietly protecting rafter feet and wall heads. When it's done properly it lasts 25+ years maintenance-free. When it's done badly it warps, sags and drips within two winters. We install roofline the way we install roofs, measured, level, and built for the long run.

Service overview
Fascias, Soffits & Guttering
, properly explained.
No jargon, no filler. Here's exactly what this service is, who benefits from it, and why we don't take shortcuts on it.
Roofline replacement covers fascia boards (the timber or UPVC board fixed to the ends of rafters that supports the gutter), soffit boards (the horizontal underside of the eaves), bargeboards (the raked equivalent on gable ends), and the full gutter and downpipe system that carries rainwater to the drainage.
Homeowners with peeling paint, rotten timber or sagging gutters, buyers whose survey has flagged the roofline, landlords wanting a maintenance-free upgrade, and anyone who's tired of ladder-based repainting every 3–4 years.
You need roofline replacement when timber fascias are showing rot or fungal growth, when gutters are visibly sagging or overflowing, when paint won't hold on the boards, when soffit vents are blocked or missing (causing loft condensation), or when the whole system has passed 25–30 years and is due.
Roofline sits at the top of a two-storey wall. Ladder-based DIY replacement is a fall hazard and typically produces uneven lines, incorrect gradients on gutters, and mis-cut mitres. Scaffold access, proper measurement and hidden-fixing installation make the difference between roofline that looks bespoke and roofline that looks bolted on.
What happens if it's ignored
The cost of leaving it
or getting it wrong.
The most expensive roofing decisions aren't the ones you make when you call us, they're the ones you make when you don't.
'Over-cladding' rotten timber
Some contractors clip UPVC over existing rotten fascia to save labour. The rot continues underneath, gutters pull away within 3–5 years, and you pay twice.
Gutter falls set by eye
Guttering needs a 1:600 fall towards the downpipe. Set by eye it either back-falls (overflowing) or runs too fast (splashing). We string-line every run before fixing.
Blocked or missing soffit ventilation
Modern lofts need continuous eaves ventilation. UPVC soffits fitted without vent strips create warm-moist air in the loft, leading to condensation, mould and eventual rafter rot.
Visible screws and site-cut mitres
Face-fixed screws and hand-cut mitres age badly. Correct installation uses hidden fixings and factory pre-formed mitres for a clean, straight line that reads as designed, not as bodged.
Our process
A repeatable system,
from first call to sign-off.
Step 1
Free Drone Inspection
We fly a drone across the entire roof, ridge, valleys, verges, flashings and gutter line, capturing high-resolution photography. No ladders leaning against your walls, no guesswork, no call-out fee.
Step 2
Written Diagnosis
You receive a written report with annotated photographs showing exactly what we've found: the condition, the cause, and the specific work required to fix it properly rather than paper over it.
Step 3
Fixed, Itemised Quote
An itemised written quote, materials, labour, access, waste removal, VAT, with clear deposit terms. Domestic jobs under £2,000 need no deposit. Stage payments available on larger projects.
Step 4
Clean, Guaranteed Execution
Lyndon and the four-man crew arrive on time, protect your driveway and garden, work to PASMA/IPAF safe-access standards, and leave the site clean each evening. All workmanship is guaranteed.
Step 5
Final Sign-Off
Once the job is complete we walk the property with you, share drone photography of the finished work, and provide a workmanship guarantee in writing. Your invoice is emailed the same day.

Deep detail
Materials, methods
& where each applies.
The specifics that separate a roof built to last from one built to invoice. Read it or skim it, either way, it's the answer to "what actually goes on my roof?"
Materials and profiles
Fascia: 16mm or 22mm UPVC in flat, ogee, or timber-effect profiles. Soffit: 9mm or 10mm hollow or solid UPVC, with pre-perforated ventilation options. Bargeboards: matching profile to fascia. Guttering: half-round, deep-flow, ogee or square in white, black, brown or anthracite grey. All UV-inhibited for long-term colour stability.
Methods and detailing
Old timber removed to expose rafter ends. Rafter ends inspected and replaced/spliced where rotten. Rafter tails treated with preservative. UPVC fascia fixed with concealed stainless steel nails to prevent staining. Soffits fitted with continuous 10mm ventilation. Guttering laid to 1:600 fall, sealed at joints, and clipped at maximum 1m centres. Downpipes clipped to wall at 1.8m maximum spacing.
Variations we handle
Full house replacement, gable-end only, hip-and-gable combinations, dormer roofline, garage and outbuilding roofline, cast-iron replacement (heritage matching where required), and cladding upgrades from timber to UPVC. We also carry out gutter-only replacements where fascia and soffit are still sound.
Residential and commercial
Domestic: standard UPVC roofline typically completed in 2–4 days. Commercial: cast-aluminium or heavy-duty UPVC gutter systems for industrial units, warehouses and offices, often with larger downpipes (100mm+) for higher rainfall capacity.
Straight answers
Common questions
before you call.

How much does new fascia, soffit and guttering cost in Coventry?
A typical three-bedroom semi with new fascia, soffit and half-round guttering runs £2,000–£3,800 including scaffold, materials, labour and VAT. Detached houses £3,000–£6,000. Every quote is itemised in writing.
How long does the work take?
Standard semi: 2–3 days. Detached: 3–5 days. All from a proper scaffold, no ladder-only work at height.
Can you match my neighbour's roofline colour?
Yes. Standard colours are white, black, brown, anthracite grey and rosewood. We can source specific manufacturer profiles to match adjoining properties.
Do I need to replace the timber underneath?
If the timber is sound and dry, no. If it's showing rot, damp or fungal growth, yes, we splice or replace affected rafter ends before fitting UPVC. Overcladding rotten timber is never our approach.
Will the new soffit have ventilation?
Yes, continuous eaves ventilation is fitted as standard, matching current Building Regulations for loft ventilation.
How long will UPVC roofline last?
Quality UV-inhibited UPVC lasts 25+ years without repainting, warping or significant colour fade.
Can you just replace the guttering?
Yes, gutter-only replacements are a common request where the fascia is sound. We string-line every run to correct fall and reseal all joints.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, all workmanship is guaranteed in writing.

Roof Repairs
A roof repair addresses a localised failure: slipped or missing tiles, a leaking valley, a failed lead flashing, cracked cement ridge bedding, blocked or split gutters, damaged verges, or a failed skylight seal. The work is targeted, we don't quote for a re-roof when a repair will genuinely last another 15 years.
