How Much Does it Cost to Replace Roofline Fascias and Soffits?

Roofline fascias and soffits are located at a very exposed part of the roof and are subject to excessive weathering which can cause the paint to peel and timbers to rot.

If you don’t want to pay for your old roofline boards to be painted, something that may need to be every ten years or so, Upvc plastic is a practical alternative.

Plastic roofline fascias, soffits, bargeboards, cladding and guttering products will last for decades without any maintenance other than an occasional clean.

On this page we’ll cover:

• The cost to replace roofline boards and guttering.
• Why it’s best to replace guttering along with your roofline boards.
• What type of access equipment your installer should be using from a health and safety perspective.
• A step-by-step guide to replacing the boards.
• The best place to get a custom price online.

Roofline Fascia, Soffits and Guttering Cost Per Linear Metre

Per metre pricing isn’t always accurate as there are so many factors to consider including how difficult the roof is to access but most smaller projects, i.e. terraced houses, will start at around £110 per metre. 

Large projects will cost less per metre but still start at around £80.

Obviously, there are regional variations and small one-man type sole traders will charge less than large national installers and window fitting companies etc.

The prices we’ve displayed are an average, shop around you’ll almost certainly find higher and lower prices.

Assumptions

Access Equipment – Our prices are for properties where the installer can reach the roofline with access towers or other similar access equipment. They do not include the cost of full scaffolding which might be needed for parts of the roof that are difficult to reach. According to the HSE, ladders are not safe to use for this type of work.

Cement/Mortar Work – On some properties, the mortar holding the tiles in place will need to replaced along with the roofline boards. The cost of this isn’t included in our price guide.

These tiles were loose and needed to be re-bedded onto mortar

VAT – Our fascia and soffit prices are an average of the figures given to us by installers. Some were small businesses that didn’t need to charge VAT while others were larger firms that included the cost of this tax.

Overcladding/Capping – The prices on this page are for the removal and replacement of the roofline boards and not the capping or over-cladding of the original boards. We feel that a full replacement is a more appropriate option.

Colour – The roofline boards on our properties are white and we wanted white Upvc fascias and soffits. Brown and woodgrain-effect boards cost much more than white boards, this extra cost isn’t reflected in our prices. 

Should The Guttering Be Replaced? Can The Old Guttering Be Refitted to Save Money?

On one of the properties, the guttering wasn’t leaking and looked to be in good condition.

We asked our chosen installers if we could save money by having the original guttering re-fitted.

Here’s what we were told:

• The labour cost to fit the guttering is the same regardless of whether the old or new guttering is installed.
• New guttering isn’t that expensive to buy; it’s much cheaper than the fascias and soffits, so there’s little to gain financially by refitting the old gutters.
• No installer would offer a guarantee on the old guttering. New gutters came with between an 8 to 15-year guarantee.
• The gutter seals in old gutters often leak after being disturbed and may need to be replaced, adding cost.
• As the consumer is paying for access equipment to be erected, it’s a good opportunity to get the guttering replaced. It would make no sense to have to pay for new guttering a few years down the line.

Unless the original guttering is new, there’s little financial gain to be had by re-fitting old gutters, and of course, you’ll be left with a guttering system that isn’t new.

Fascia and Soffit Installation FAQs

When Were These Upvc Roofline Prices Published?

We sourced these prices in late-2020 and published this page in January 2021. We’ve included VAT when it was charged, but not all of the businesses were VAT registered as some were operating below the threshold.

Where Did These Prices Come From?

A total of 34 firms and tradespeople from around the UK gave us prices for replacing fascias, soffits and gutters.

Can This Type of Work be Done Via a Ladder?

Health and safety regulations state that ladders should only be used for safe tasks that can be completed in a short space of time.

For roofline installations, access towers or scaffold would be more appropriate.

More details about ladders and their suitability can be found here.

How Long Does it Take to Replace Fascias, Soffits and Guttering?

A good team of two workers can complete between one and two sides of a property in a day, depending on long each side of the house is.

If the tiles need to be bedded onto new mortar, this will add to the cost of the project as it takes longer.

If access is difficult or the property is very high (such as 3 or 4 storeys) it will take longer.

 

What is Eaves Felt and Why Does it Need Replacing?

Eaves felt overhangs into the guttering and protects the roof from water ingress. It often rots and fails or may become damaged when the gutters and boards are removed. It should be replaced with a more modern alternative.

Here’s a standalone price for the installation of eaves felt.

Below you’ll find a photo of eaves felt being installed:

My Gutters Often Overflow or Leak, Will New Guttering Stop This?

If the gutters are leaking because they are old and the rubber gaskets have failed, then yes, a new guttering system will solve the problem.

If the gutters are overflowing due to leaves, twigs etc. blocking the gutters then we recommend you consider installing a guard leaf guard/mesh to keep the leaves/twigs out of the gutter. 

For properties located under trees and in particular, pine trees, we recommend yearly gutter cleaning.

Why Do Brown Boards Cost More Than White Boards?

Brown boards are the same as white boards except they have an extra layer of material adhered to the surface, this extra layer has a woodgrain effect and is usually rosewood or mahogany in colour.

The extra manufacturing process adds to the cost. Also, brown boards aren’t as popular as white boards, so with lower volumes, the price per board goes up.

I’ve Been Told I Need Roof Vents – Why is This?

Vents are located at the eaves – the lowest part of the roof, and they prevent loft condensation. As Upvc roofline boards are more airtight than the old timber boards, ventilation is recommended.

Are There Any Trade Associations Where I Can Find Reputable Installers?

The National Federation of Roofing Contractors is a popular roofing association as is the Confederation of Roofing Contractors.

You can also use our network of tradespeople and of course, there’s also Checkatrade, Which?, Trustmark and other associations.

Some manufacturers offer training schemes and membership of their “approved installer” databases.

How to Save Money in 2022

When fitting roofs, fascias and soffits are essential components to ensure the integrity of your build, creating a valuable barrier between moisture and your property’s rafters.

Soffits bridge the gap between the wall and the roofline on the underside of a building, while fascias are boards that have exterior elements attached to them, like your home’s guttering.

As the area covered by soffits is not exposed to the elements, wood is commonly used to make them. However, wood does warp and distort over time, particularly when exposed to the elements and may require replacement.

In this article, we’ll be covering how much it costs to replace fascias and soffits, how to save money on new fascias and soffits, how to know which fascia or soffit is right for your home, what’s involved in replacing fascias and soffits and how to find and hire a professional to replace fascias and soffits.

If you suspect your fascias or soffits have seen better days, or are experiencing damp in your property and think they might be to blame, keep reading to find out the best way to get replacements, fast.

Topics

How Much Does It Cost to Replace Fascias and Soffits?

On average, it costs approximately £100 per metre to replace fascias and soffits, or £50 per metre if you cap over your existing fascia boards.

House Size	Estimated Installation Costs	Time Required
Bungalow	£2,700 to £5,000	1 to 2 days
Terraced	£1,500 to £2,800	1 to 3 days
Semi-detached	£2,000 to £3,600	2 to 3 days
Detached	£2,700 to £5,600	3 to 5 days

For a house size such as a bungalow, you’ll be looking at estimated installation costs of between £2,700 to £5,000 and an expected time allowance of between one to two days for installation.

Looking next at a terraced home, the estimated installation costs will be between £1,500 to £2,800 for replacement fascias and soffits. You’ll need to set aside one to three days for completion.

For a semi-detached house, the price creeps up slightly with the size, is estimated at between £2,000 to £3,600, taking between two to three days for installation.

Finally, if you have a detached home and need your fascias or soffits replaced, you’ll be expecting fees of between £2,700 to £5,600, and an installation period of between three to five days.

What Affects the Cost of Replacing Fascias and Soffits?

There are a few factors that come into play when assessing the cost of replacing your home’s fascias or soffits. Let’s get into them.

The Size of Your Home

First and foremost, it goes without saying – the larger your home, the higher the price, as you’ll simply need more materials and labour time to get the job done.

The Material You Choose

Which material you opt for will also have an impact on your price:

Fascia or Soffit Material	Estimated Supply Costs
uPVC	£5 to £15 per metre
Planed Timber	£100 to £180 per metre
Aluminium	£25 to £60 per metre
Galvanised Steel	£12 to £20 per metre

uPVC is by far the most cost-effective material, coming in at between £5 to £15 per metre, while the timber is the most expensive option, seeing costs of between £100 to £180 per metre.

Fascias are available in multiple types of hardwood and softwood timber, including traditional oak, cedar, pine, and larch but also other species such as ash, beech, cherry, Douglas fir, maple, and walnut and even exotic woods such as Accoya, Sapele, and teak.

Aluminium will carry costs of between £25 to £60 per metre, while galvanised steel can command between £12 to £20 per metre.

Fascia Width, Colour, Design

As with the size of your property, the wider your fascias and soffits, the more you should expect to pay.

When it comes to colours, what you choose has the power to raise or lower your costs. For example, white uPVC is the most affordable choice for fascias and soffits, while other colours, such as anthracite grey, black, green, blue, and red all come at a premium—up to three times more than white.

Finally, the design you choose will also carry a cost. Square styles are more affordable than decorative fascias, such as ogee, bullnose, or scalloped designs, due to the intricate nature of their shapes.

Scaffolding

While scaffolding is not strictly necessary in all cases, some roofers and tradesmen prefer to use it for safety reasons.

This will carry an additional cost, ranging from £500 to £1,300 per week depending on the height required and the size of your home. For full information on scaffolding hire, take a look at our dedicated page.

Rubbish Removal

Rubbish removal is typically included in your fee, but if not, you’ll need to dispose of the old fascias and soffits yourself or arrange for a licensed waste carrier to remove the rubbish.

For this reason, you must find out before agreeing to any work exactly what is included in your quote and if you’re likely to need to pay for anything else on top of the agreed fee.

Your Location

Finally, a non-negotiable affecting your project fee is your geographical location. Prices will be higher in capitals such as London when compared with more rural locales.

If you live on a street without free parking, you’ll also need to consider the cost of parking permits for your project for your workers to have somewhere to stay while they get on with the job.

How Can I Save Money on New Fascias and Soffits?

Fascias are exposed to weather conditions, unlike soffits which are hidden from exposure. If your gutter leaks, it will drip onto the fascias and increase the chance that they could deteriorate.

If you’ve noticed your boards are rotting there are a few steps you can take which will save you money on the repairIf yo.

Firstly, you can clad existing boards with uPVC panels. This is the most affordable option but it depends on the deterioration of the boards – if the boards are badly damaged, the cladding won’t hold.

You also have the option to rip out the rotting boards and completely replace them. This is a good option if you enjoying DIY and would be happy to paint and instal new boards yourself.

We would recommend replacing any wooden fascias with uPVC, as it requires minimal work to upkeep and is weatherproof, unlike it’s wooden counterpart.

Dual-Purpose

If you’re hiring a professional to work on your soffits and fascias, it may be worth getting additional work done at the same time. The supply costs and labour costs for the additional work will obviously increase the cost, but it may save you from having to hire out the scaffolding and professional again a few months later.

Examples of this work include:

• Repair and replacement of guttering
• Installation and repair of downpipes
• Roof tile repairs
• Roof tile replacements
• Cement pointing repair
• Repairs to roof rafters

Capping

Capping or cladding can be used instead of replacement to reduce the cost of replacing the fascias and soffits. If the timber is already rotting or beginning to deteriorate, however, we don’t recommend this option.

On average, this will cost you around £50 per metre.

Which Fascias and Soffits are Right for My Home?

At a glance, it can be hard to determine what material of fascia or soffit is right for your home – so here are the key advantages and disadvantages of the main materials you have to choose from.

Fascia or Soffit Material	Advantages	Disadvantages
uPVC	Low-maintenance, durable, low cost	Not as premium-looking as other variants
Timber	Environmentally-friendly and aesthetically pleasing	Will show signs of wear over time, and be susceptible to rotting, expensive
Aluminium	Durable, low-maintenance and low cost	No insulating properties
Galvanised Steel	Long-lasting and eco-friendly	Susceptible to cracking and chipping

What’s Involved in Replacing Fascias and Soffits?

Depending on whether or not they’re needed, you’ll have scaffolding erected around your property to enable the trader to reach the high points of your house. The front row of roof tiles will then be taken off, as will the old fascias and soffits, ready for replacement.

Replacements will then be added and fitted, with the existing tiles being reattached once complete.

How Do I Find and Hire Someone to Replace My Fascias and Soffits?

As the first port of call, it’s a good idea to seek recommendations from family, friends, and neighbours. If someone nearby has had similar work done, they have the potential to have a recommendation for you – or even a warning not to approach a trader – whichever way the penny falls, the advice is useful!

If you don’t know anyone who has had similar work done recently, it’s a good idea to search the National Federation of Roofing Contractors to find reputable, vetted traders in your area.

Finally, if you want to consolidate your trade search and make it as easy on yourself as possible, using HouseholdQuotes can not only help to save you up to 40% on your project’s fee, but it can also save you valuable time in searching as results are given to you on one website page, saving you from the need to switch between multiple tabs during your hunt.

Ensuring the Professional Is the Right Fit

As with any home improvement job, you must ask for a written quote so you know exactly what’s included in your fee – and crucially, what’s not. In the case of fascias and soffits, it’s good to know if waste removal is included, as well as whether or not you need scaffolding to reach the boards.

Whether your trader is coming from a recommendation or not, it’s best to do your research into their experience. Seeing similar projects and their outcomes can be a good way of working out if this trader is right for you – and seeing photos or videos of previous jobs can be a good indicator of their workmanship.

Similarly, seeking out references from prior clients is a good way to find out if their work ethic is what you’re looking for. Finally, double-checking the trader has relevant insurance will make sure you’re both covered in the event of any problems.

Final Checklist

If the time has come to replace your fascias or soffits, or if they’ve simply seen better days, make sure you take a look at our final checklist to ensure everything is taken care of.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Often Should I Replace My Fascias and Soffits?

It’s recommended that you keep an eye on your fascias and soffits yourself, and aim to inspect them around twice a year for any early signs of wear and tear which might lead to greater problems further down the line.

The type of damage you’re looking for which will need immediate attention will be rotting wood, missing sections or obvious sagging of joints. When these problems arise, it’s best to get a professional in to assess the next steps for you.

Do I Need Scaffolding To Replace Fascias and Soffits?

In some instances, scaffolding will be recommended – such as for a typical 3 bedroom semi-detached house on two floors, replacing soffits and fascia board will require the erection of scaffolding.

Unfortunately in these situations, the cost of fascias and soffits is a small component of the overall price, with scaffolding costing over one-third of the cost. This is why it’s a good idea and cost-effective to make use of the scaffolding once it’s up to get any other high up jobs completed – such as any issues with your roof or Velux windows, for instance.

Is Black Fascia More Expensive Than White or Grey?

Fascias will traditionally come in white – with that variation being the cheapest you can opt for. Black is more expensive, and grey is somewhere between the two.

Should My Fascias and Soffits Match the Colour of My Windows?

This is an entirely individual choice – it can make the appearance of your home look cohesive and complete if your soffits and fascias are matching the colour of your windows, but it is up to individual taste and choice.

Can You Put New Fascias Over Old Ones?

It is possible to put vinyl fascias over older, wooden fascias – in fact, it is said to help to protect the wooden structure already in place, according to h3ouse. For a step-by-step guide on how to instal new fascias over old ones, take a look at their page.

How Much Does It Cost To Replace Gutters?

To replace uPVC gutters, the cost ranges from £400 to £1,000 depending on the size of your house. If you want the full lowdown on replacement gutter costs, take a look at our dedicated page.

Can You Clean Fascias and Soffits?

You can clean your fascias and soffits, and it’s a great way to keep their condition in check, as well as keep a regular eye on their condition throughout the year. It’s recommended to clean them every few years to keep any mildew at bay.

What Do Asbestos Soffit Boards Look Like?

Asbestos soffits are often made of Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB). The boards are often white and are attached to the underside of the roof that overhangs your house.

You can learn more about asbestos soffits on the government’s Health and Safety Executive website, and to learn more about the costs of removing asbestos, visit our guide.

It’s important not to disturb asbestos yourself if you suspect you have it present in or on your property, so always leave this for the professionals to carry out any necessary action.

What’s the Difference Between Bargeboards and Fascias?

The main difference between bargeboards and fascias is the direction they run in – bargeboards will run diagonally, while fascias run horizontally.

2021 uPVC Replacement Prices UK

A fascia and a soffit are two completely different things but often referred to together so easily become confused.   

After a builder installs a roof, there’s always an open gap between the rafters and the masonry walls. Generally, this gap doesn’t look very nice. And, it also allows rain and wind to enter the roof space along with any birds, wasps and other creatures that might want a dry nesting place. A fascia board tucks under the overhanging roof tiles and reaches down to the bottom of the rafter’s end profile. The board travels along the entire length of the roofline.

The soffit covers the underside opening between the fascia and the wall. Additionally, rainwater guttering needs somewhere to fix to and fascias are an ideal place for this. 

So, in a nutshell, they close the gap between roof and walls, this protects the inside of the roof from water ingress, high winds and wildlife infestation. Oh, and they look prettier too. 

You can make fascias and soffits from uPVC, or wood. Although, these days uPVC is much more common. 

By the way, there’s one more related piece of roof that we almost forgot. Bargeboards fix to a gable wall, tuck under the overhanging roof tiles and run from gutter line to ridge. We don’t need to talk any more about these as they’re effectively diagonal fascias that follow the roof pitch. 

Main Topics

Replacement Costs: Including Labour & Materials

So, how much does it cost to replace fascias and soffits? 

On average, if you have a typical home, you should expect to pay about £100 per metre to fit new fascias, soffits and guttering. This calculates to about £1200 to £1500 for a semi-detached house and would take two professionals around 2 days to complete.

However, this doesn’t include removing the existing boards first. You’ll also need scaffolding to work from and this will cost from about £200 to £1000 depending on the amount you need. Generally, uPVC is cheaper to buy than wood and is easier to install. For a high–end building or renovation of listed buildings, it’s usual to use wooden boards to match the original. Also, we find that replacements in and around London cost about 20% more than work done elsewhere. 

Soffit and Fascia Cost Estimations (with examples)

Roofers don’t only lay roof tiles, there are many jobs that a skilled roofer or a carpenter can do. These include replacing fascias, soffits and guttering. 

Because roofers prefer uPVC more than wood, the table below contains uPVC fascia and soffit installation prices. If you want to use wooden boards you should get a custom estimate. Timber types vary and the prices are correspondingly higher to purchase and to install. Remember you’ll also have to regularly paint or varnish wooden boards after fitting them. Therefore, it’s well worth considering using uPVC wherever you can. 

Type of Property	Estimated Roofing Cost	Typical Duration
Bungalow	£80 / metre	3 man-days
Terraced house	£100 / metre	4 man-days
Semi-detached (front & back)	£1200 to £1500	4 man-days
Semi-detached (3 sides)	£1800 to £2000	5 man-days
Detached	£2600 to £3000+	7 man-days+
Cladding existing boards with uPVC	£50 / metre	50% reduction

What About Repair Costs? 

Generally, uPVC fascia and soffits need no maintenance except for an occasional wash down after the winter. Wooden boards, however, need regular painting.  And, if rot get’s a hold, you’ll have to get someone to cut out and replace the soft patches of wood not only in the fascia but probably in the rafters too. Rafters are a structural part of any roof, so it’s very important to cut out rot as soon as it appears and replace with sound wood. 

Costs to repair problems of this sort will vary depending on how extensive the rot has become, and how much the roof has to be stripped back. So, most carpenters or roofers won’t give a quotation but will charge an hourly or daily rate for work like this. This is because they won’t know the full extent of the job until they remove fascias and tiles. Qualified professional carpenters cost between £20 and £25 per hour plus any materials and access platforms they need. 

How can you spot damage? 

Fascias aren’t usually close to the ground where you can check them every day. So, the first hint you’ll have is when you see paint flaking or cracking. If you ignore this, you’ll then notice chunks of fascia breaking off or you’ll see the boards start to warp. This is more obvious in fascias compared to soffits because fascias tend to be solid wood while soffits will often be plywood. You might experience wildlife visitors in your loft where they’ve managed to break in through holes and cracks. If you see any of these, you need a professional as soon as possible. In the meantime, try to prevent as much water from getting through as you can, by filling holes and painting temporarily. 

Finishes: Colours & materials

To be honest, if you think about almost any colour for uPVC fascia and soffit boards, you can probably get it. However, a manufacturer will only produce the colours and textures that are in demand. So, in practice, there are about 8 different colours. Moreover, all the wood colours will have a grain texture while white and grey are smooth. 

White is the most common colour closely followed by Golden Oak. The other colours are a matter of taste so it’s very difficult to specify which of them is more popular than any other. So, in no particular order, the other most common colours include: 

• Cream. 
• Rosewood. 
• Irish Oak. 
• White Ash. 
• Black Ash. 
• Grey 

Usually, choosing a non-white uPVC board will be difficult to match up with your existing doors and windows. Unless you’re building a new house, you’ll probably buy the uPVC doors, windows and fascias from different suppliers. Meaning that each brand’s colours will be unique to them. For example, Company X’s Irish Oak will probably be a different shade to Company Y’s Irish Oak. So it’s probably better if you choose something safe like ‘White’. 

Apart from colour matching, uPVC has standard dimensions so brands are interchangeable. They are all easy to cut and install, and all use the same stainless steel fixing nails and screws. 

Of course, if you don’t want to use uPVC you can always choose real wood or manufactured wood board. In which case, they’ll need regular repainting using the colour of your choice and eventually will need repairing when the wood rots.

UK Roofing Regulations & Planning Permissions 

You don’t normally need Planning Permission when replacing or painting fascia and soffits. However, things are different if you live in a listed building or a designated area (conservation area, area of outstanding natural beauty or national park).   You must then consult the local authority to see if there are any restrictions you should follow. 

You don’t have to follow Building Regulations when repairing fascias either. But, if you replace the boards, you must allow for any ventilation to the roof space. Without vents, the roofspace will experience damp rot caused by condensation on the roofing timbers. If the existing roof already has ventilation, then make sure you maintain or exceed the amount of ventilation, by fitting new vents. 

If you’re building a new extension don’t let the new fascia boards overhang the boundary to your neighbour’s property. Similarly, consider the Party Wall Act 1996 if your fascia joins onto your neighbour’s. 

If you aren’t sure of the Building Regulations, Party Wall Act or Planning Permission,  get in touch with your local council, who will advise you. 

Fascias and Soffits Cost FAQ 

Can you put new soffits over old? 

Yes, you can. You can either cover existing soffits with wooden ones or with uPVC. However, you must always make sure you aren’t covering rotten wood and that the fixings go into sound timber. 

When should I replace my soffits and fascias? 

Look out for some tell-tale signs in your existing house fascias and soffits.  

• Soft, spongey patches in the existing wood suggest that you have rotten wood. 
• Flaking and cracked paint indicates that the boards are getting old and you aren’t keeping them maintained. 
• See if there’s evidence of rodents, birds or insects making a home in your loft. They can get through the smallest of holes.  
• If you have existing asbestos soffits, they will crack with age. You must hire a specialist contractor to remove them before you install new ones. 
• If you see water or damp patches in the roof space, you know that something is leaking and needs attention. Check the fascias first. 
• Check you have adequate ventilation to the roof space. 

How thick should soffits be? 

Whereas fascia boards are traditionally about 17mm to 25mm thick, soffits are about 12mm thick. They used to be made from plywood, solid timber or asbestos cement board. Nowadays, they are usually made from plywood or uPVC.  

What causes soffit damage? 

Usually, most damage occurs through exposure to sun and rain. These factors eventually crack the paint and allow the elements to damage the wood beneath. This causes wet or dry rot. Insects and rodents also cause damage by gnawing and burrowing which accelerates existing damage. Even uPVC soffits can become damaged by the continual expansion and contraction of warm and cold weather. However, uPVC won’t rot or deteriorate like timber.  

How long do wooden fascias last? 

That depends on the condition and type of timber used in the original installation and also how well you’ve looked after them over the years. Well installed and maintained wooden fascia can last for up to 20 or 30 years, before they start deteriorating. Although some might need replacing within 5 to 10 years. 

Why do fascia boards rot? 

Fascia boards are one of the most likely areas on a house to rot. This is because their location just at the roofline means they are continually being exposed to all kinds of weather. Eventually, cracked paint allows water into the underlying timber. This allows insects and rodents access to gnaw away at their natural food store.  Once the cycle starts, it’s very difficult to stop and eventually you’ll end up replacing the deteriorating fascia boards

See How Much Bargeboards Fascias & Soffits Cost in 2022

Update 2022: The cost of some building materials, including PVCu fascias, soffits and guttering, has skyrocketed over the last 18 months with one supplier being forced to increase their prices four times last year. Inflation within the home improvement industry has been well documented in the media and confirmed by our research but how much does it currently cost to get a professional to replace roofline fascias, soffits and guttering with PVCu?

On this page we’ll cover:

1. The cost per linear metre that installers are charging to remove an old roofline and replace it with white PVCu products.
2. The cost per linear metre to supply white fascias, soffits, guttering, fixings and ancillary products (this will help DIYer’s budget).
3. Example prices based on house size.
4. How much extra you’ll pay for brown fascia and soffit boards.
5. What other readers of this page have paid (via our feedback forms).

Fascias and Soffits Cost Per Linear Metre of Roofline

In April 2022 we contacted 9 roofline installers from various locations around the UK and asked them how much they charge to remove the old boards and guttering and replace them with new PVCu.

Based on the prices we were given for our property which has 40 linear metres of roofline, the average price per linear metre was:

The price above includes:

• Access equipment.
• Removal and disposal of the old roofline boards and gutters etc.
• The supply and installation of new PVCu boards, guttering, fixings and ancillary products etc.
• All labour.
• VAT, if charged.

Do bear in mind that we gathered prices from installers up and down the country and also smaller and larger firms. This is just an average price, consumers may pay more in London if they choose a national installer or they may pay less if they live in the north and use the services of a local “one man” tradesperson.

Materials “Supply Only” Price

In April 2022 we drew up a list of materials for our property with 40 linear metres of roofline.

By using the price list at Direct Plastics, we calculated the cost per linear metre of the materials on a “supply only” basis:

The price above excludes scaffold, waste removal/disposal and labour, it’s how much the materials cost for a typical installation and includes fixings, ancillary products and VAT.

Example Prices Based on Property Size

This pricing table displays prices based on house size, due to the economics of scale, smaller properties cost more per linear metre than huge dwellings.

Use this as a ballpark estimate as to how much the project will cost:

Project:	Price:
Terraced house 11m	£2000
Semi detached 24m	£3750
Small detached 34m	£5000
Medium detached 44m	£6250
Large detached 54m	£7500
Larger detached 75m	£10,000
Small porch/canopy	Add £500
Larger porch	Add £750 – £1500
Single garage or small ground floor extension	Add £1250
Double garage	Add £2000

Brown Fascia and Soffits Cost This Much More

The prices displayed on this page are for white boards and guttering in either white, black or brown.

Brown fascia and soffit boards cost more than white boards – the boards have a laminate finish on the surface which adds to the cost. Also, these boards are less popular so due to the economics of scale, they cost more to produce.

Our research in 2022 revealed that you’ll pay between 15% and 25% more for a roofline installation with brown or black boards compared to white boards.

This is How Much Others Are Paying For Roofline Fascias, Soffits and Associated Works

Since 2017, we have asked visitors to this page how much they’ve been quoted for replacement PVCu roofline fascia, soffits, guttering and other similar products.

Due to inflation and the recent skyrocketing cost of materials and home improvement prices in general, many of the responses are now out of date but you may find them insightful:

Name:	Desc:	Price:
Paige (Conwy)	Front and back of house, facia, sofits, guttering and pipes. (2022)	£1650
Michael (Portsmouth)	I work in a building suppliers and we sell mostly plastic gutters, boards and plumbing goods. We’ve raised our prices 7 times since the start of the pandemic due to supply-chain issues and the cost of imports. Some of our products now cost 90% more than they did two years ago. You can’t rely on historical prices at the moment, just go and get a quote from a local installer. (2022)	£variable
Mark J (N Wales)	End of terrace property with 2 bedrooms. (2021)	£1700

F (Glasgow)	three bed semi your looking at £1200 bud. ( 2017)	£1200

Extra Costs You May Need to Budget For

Below is a list of five optional extras that will incur additional costs:

Replace the cement – gables, valleys and roof ridges are where cement is located and if it’s in poor condition, it should be replaced at extra cost.

Asbestos removal – some soffit boards installed before 1990 may contain asbestos and will cost more to remove and dispose of.

Blocked drains – blockages underground mean that your new gutters may overflow. Pipe flushing is both quick and cheap but a more serious blockage could result in a new pipe and/or soakaway being installed at extra cost.

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. Expect to pay 15% to 25% if you choose these boards instead of white boards.

Fascia and Soffit Works Schedule

Below is a works schedule that reveals the steps installers take when replacing these roofline boards and gutters:

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 at extra cost.

We have separate prices for scaffold here.

Remove the existing boards and gutters – we feel the best approach is to fully remove the existing boards rather than “over-cladding” on top of them, although in some circumstances that approach would be acceptable; for example, if the existing boards are fairly new or in excellent condition.

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 800mm although many installers choose 1000mm 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.

How Long Does the Work Take?

A single person working alone will fit around 10 metres per day including erecting and dismantling the access towers.

A team of two people can achieve up to 15 metres per day.

Some houses, such as those with lots of small gables, multiple elevations or other unusual features, may take longer.

Additional time is needed for a site survey to take measurements and also time to collect the materials from a supplier and unload them.

Some roof tiles are bedded into cement, if these need to be replaced it will add time and cost to the project.

Low-level work such as porches, garages and ground floor extensions are quicker to complete as less scaffold is required:

Project:	Time:
Terraced	one day
Semi detached	two day
Small detached	three to four days
Large detached	five days +
Single garage	half day
Double garage	one day
Capping aka overcladding	under half the time for full replacement

Asbestos – How Common Is It?

Some soffit boards manufactured prior to the early 1990s contain a small amount of Asbestos.

This Asbestos is contained within cement and is manufactured into a sturdy board that’ll never rot and has a long lifespan.

There are millions of houses in the United Kingdom that have Asbestos soffits secured to their roofline. It is generally considered safe if left alone but poses a significant risk if:

• it’s sanded prior to painting.
• it’s drilled, perhaps to secure a light in place or for a cable.
• removed and broken up into smaller pieces without adequate provisions

We have a separate guide to removing and disposing of Asbestos legally, including a price guide.

See Asbestos removal prices here.

Should Old Fascia and Soffit Boards be Removed or “Capped/Overclad”?

In most cases, it’s best to fully remove the old roofline boards and this is the most common practice.

There are, however, a few exceptions when it’s best to leave the boards in place and fix new boards directly on top of them:

• if the original roof rafters are so flimsy and the timber fascia is acting as a structural support to the eaves area, then it should be left in place.
• if removing Asbestos soffits is likely to produce a lot of dust and would be costly, you could leave them in place and overclad them. This is known as Asbestos encapsulation.
• some soffit boards are secured directly to the ceiling plaster and while this is unusual, removing the soffits could damage the ceiling.

Here is a quote from Matthew, one of our friends who has over 15 years of experience in the roofline business:

During my 15 years in this trade I’ve seen about five or six houses where it would’ve been best to leave the old boards in place. For all the other roofs, we recommended removing and full replacing them.

Why Do Brown Boards Cost More?

These boards are actually white but they have a coloured and textured laminate adhered to the surface.
This additional process increases the cost of the boards and other materials.
The labour cost to install the boards is the same regardless of the colour.

Should the Old Timber Boards be Removed or Capped Over?

Capping or “overcladding” leaves the existing boards in place. The work can be completed in a fraction of the time compared to a full replacement. Also, thinner boards are used resulting in more savings. This type of procedure should only be considered if the existing boards are in good condition.

I have received a quote that is much higher or lower, what gives?

We have done our best to explore the costs involved with replacing roofline boards and gutters but have estimated the net profit margins any company would be looking to make.

How much your company charges will depend on their overheads and how many staff they have. middle management and office staff along with sales people can add considerable running costs to any business, so expect a larger “national” company to charge more than we have suggested.

By the same token, a smaller firm with fewer overheads may charge less. Also, firms operating below the VAT threshold do not need to charge this tax.

Tell me more about Asbestos

Asbestos is never used in fascias which are usually timber or plastic but was once used in the manufacturing of soffit boards.

These boards can be safely overcladded provided the material is not disturbed.

To completely remove them, a licensed asbestos remover should be used.

Due to the sheer number of houses with asbestos soffits, there are several roofline installers who are licensed to remove the boards and we believe they would be cheaper than a general Asbestos remover.

Our excellent guide to Asbestos removal costs is a great place to start.

The Health and Safety Executive has also several guides worth exploring.

What brands are best?

Swish and Celuform are well-known brands but are priced at the top end of the scale.

Floplast is a good quality solid board that is mid-priced.

All modern boards perform well and should last decades if fitted correctly.

Will a New UPVC Roofline Increase The Value of My Home?

A new UPVC roofline can improve the kerb appeal of any home but in most cases, won’t increase the value of the property. An old roofline with rotten timbers and flaky paint may put off some buyers who don’t to spend time and money refurbishing a property.

What are the Supply Costs of Soffits & Fascias?

The focus of this section is specifically the average cost for the various supplies required for new soffits and fascias, as if you were to purchase directly from a retailer. The supply price of soffits and fascias are a key price component of the total cost.

The cost estimates discussed below are based on the approximate costs for flat fascia and soffit boards. Vented and hollow soffits and ogee style and bull nosed fascias are examples of alternate types of boards which have their own price ranges.

Timber Fascia Board Prices

A timber fascia board will cost you around £5 to £10 per metre while a timber soffit board is probably going to set you back somewhere in the range of £5 to £8 for each metre.

Aluminium Fascia Board Prices

For an aluminium fascia board, it’s likely to cost around £15 to £50 per metre and for aluminium soffits, you’re looking at paying about £10 to £40 per metre.

uPVC Fascia Board Prices

For a uPVC fascia board, it will likely cost about £4 to £12 per metre in length. To purchase a uPVC soffit board, will cost around £2 to £8 per metre.

Steel Fascia Board Prices

The cost of a steel fascia board may range from £8 to £35 per metre while a steel soffit board will probably cost about £18 to £35 for each metre.

What are the Additional Costs of Soffits & Fascias?

You may choose to have additional jobs undertaken after your soffits & fascias have been replaced. For this section, we will look at the costs of possible additional jobs such as having a drain unblocked and replacing cement work.

Cost of Scaffolding

Hiring scaffolding in order for the work to be complete will cost you around £600 to £800.

Waste Disposal Cost

Waste disposal costs will depend heavily on how much waste needs to be disposed of. On average, the cost may come to around £50 to £200.

Blocked Drain Cost

The cost of having a drain unblocked will vary depending on what actions are needed to remove the blockage. Drain rodding will probably cost about £60 to £100, drain jetting will be priced at around £150 to £200 while to have both tasks undertaken will cost you roughly £180 to £220.

Replacing Cement Work

If you wish to have small cement work replacements on your roof, it is probably going to cost you about £150 to £300. If you need to have around 10 metres of roof ridge tiles replaced it’s likely to stand at about £250 to £600. To have cracked mortar on ridge tiles repointed may cost around £125 to £250 for an average semi-detached house.

Gutter Guards Cost

The cost of having gutter guards installed will vary depending on the guard type and whether or not it will need scaffolding. A hedgehog guard is going to set you back about £200 to £300 without scaffolding or roughly £400 to £600 with scaffolding.

A mesh guard without the use of scaffolding will cost between £150 and £250 while the price for this type of guard rises to around £350 to £550 with scaffolding.

You may need to replace your guttering entirely if it’s old too.

Tradesmen Costs for Replacing Soffits & Fascias

For this section, we’re going to look at the labour and installation costs involved in having soffits & fascias replaced based on different house types or given parts of a house. Tradesmen costs exclude the supply and material costs.

We will look at the labour costs for replacing soffits & fascias on a small, medium and large terraced house, semi-detached house, detached house, garage and a small and large porch. To have fascias and soffits replaced on a terraced house is likely to cost about £230 to £300 in terms of the labour costs.

For a semi-detached house, the labour costs are likely to be around £400 to £520. The labour/installation costs will end up about £600 to £720 for a small detached house, £800 to £880 for a medium detached house and £930 to £1040 for a large detached house. For a garage, the labour costs should end up around £160 to £230, for a small porch about £50 to £70 and around £80 to £100 for a large porch.

How Long Does It Take to Replace Soffits & Fascias?

The table below shows the different durations it takes to replace soffits & fascias for various house sizes and different parts of a house, namely a porch and garage. After the table, we look at the various factors that may influence the duration of a soffits & fascias replacement job. As you can see, the house types discussed below are the same as in previous sections.

Type of house	Duration
Terrace house	1-2 Days
Semi-detached	2-3 Days
Small detached	3-4 Days
Medium detached	4-5 Days
Large detached	5+ Days
Garage	1 Day or Less
Porch	2-4 Hours

The length of time it takes for such replacement work to be complete can depend on factors such as the size of the house, type of house, ease of access to the soffits & fascias and the type of soffits & fascias you wish to have installed.

Types of Soffits & Fascias

We will now discuss the different types of soffits & fascias in more detail. In each of the subsections below we will look at the costs of each type, when they might be used as well as lay out their pros and cons.

The labour costs in each case will be about £20 to £30 per hour with a two-hour minimum charge likely to be incurred.

Timber Fascias & Soffits Cost

Timber soffits and fascias are wooden based and are often used for their visual appeal and may be used in regions with less rain and humidity as they would be less at risk of rotting in such environments.

A timber fascia board will cost you around £5 to £10 per metre while a timber soffit board is probably going to set you back somewhere in the range of £5 to £8.

Pros

• Cheaper than metallic soffits & fascias.
• Offers an aesthetic appeal.
• Easier to find in various different colours.
• More environmentally friendly.

Cons

• Timber soffits & fascias are more vulnerable to weathering.
• Can require plenty of maintenance.
• Not as cheap as most uPVC soffits & fascias.

Aluminium Fascias & Soffits Cost

Aluminium soffits & fascias are particularly tough and ductile metallic installations. Aluminium soffits & fascias might be installed in a region where a person is expecting plenty of rain. They would not be a good option if a house needs particularly strong insulation as they are a poor insulator.

Aluminium soffits will cost about £10 to £40 per metre while aluminium fascia boards will come with a charge of around £15 to £50 per metre.

Pros

• Very strong and ductile.
• Water resistant.
• Another environmentally friendly choice.

Cons

• Very expensive compared to uPVC and timber products.
• A poor insulator.

uPVC Fascias & Soffits Cost

Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride (uPVC) soffits & fascias are low-maintenance and plastic-based. These may be installed to reduce costs such as when replacing old soffits & fascias. uPVC soffits & fascias might also be used when a homeowner is seeking a low-maintenance option.

We will now look at the uPVC soffits and fascias cost. The plastic soffit price in this case will be around £2 to £8 per metre with the fascia board of the same material costing around £4 to £12 per metre making them particularly cheap.

Pros

• Inexpensive.
• Low maintenance.
• Highly durable.
• Available in a wide range of colours.

Cons

• May discolour or fade.
• Can become brittle.
• May prove unsuitable for older properties.

Steel Fascias & Soffits Cost

Another metallic form of soffits & fascias is based around steel, a metal with high levels of durability and thermal conductivity. It may be used due to its various benefits such as water resistance while at the same time being a cheaper metallic alternative to aluminium soffits and fascia’s.

Steel soffits will cost you around £18 to £35 per metre while steel fascia boards may cost about £8 to £35 per metre.

How Much Does Repairing Soffits & Fascias Cost?

In this section, we will explore the soffits and fascias prices for different repairs. Common soffits & fascias repairs include repairing a rotted soffit and sealing fascia gaps in the roof.

Sealing Fascia Gaps in Roof

Before fascia gaps can be sealed, old rotted material should be removed and replaced with a new fascia board. Moving from the end of the fascia board, it will be necessary for the corner edge to be caulked. The caulking process should continue until the entire fascia is covered.

Assuming about 2-4 hours of work and the replacement of 4 fascia boards, the subtotal between labour and supply costs will probably come to about £75 to £310. The price varies greatly as it will largely depend on the type of fascia material used and how long it takes for the task to be complete.

Repairing Rotted Soffits & Fascias

This repair is essentially a small replacement job. In order to repair a rotted soffit, first shingle mould will need to be removed, where present. The fascia will then be removed before the soffit’s rotting wood is taken out. The rotted rafter will be removed, where applicable and a new rafter will be installed.

A sealant will be used to prepare the new soffit. The new soffit will be installed, and the fascia re-attached although the fascia will need to also be replaced if it has become damaged. Assuming a small job and minimal new materials being required, you’ll probably end up spending about £60 to £150 between both labour and material costs. This assumes 2-4 hours of work.

How Much Does It Cost to Remove Soffits & Fascias?

For this section, we will look at the estimated cost to have soffits & fascias removed. You may choose to have soffits & fascias removed in order to have new ones installed. This may be done because the old soffits & fascias have become too damaged to repair or because the homeowner would like to install new soffits & fascias made of a different material.

The labour costs involved in having soffits & fascias removed will likely end up around £20 to £26 per hour although there will probably be a minimal two-hour flat charge. The removal costs may end up around £50 to £200. You can dispose of old soffits & fascias with a skip or through a ‘man and van’ service such as that provided by Hippo Waste.

FAQs

Q: What are soffits?

A: Soffits are the underside element below a fascia, which itself is situated where the roof and exterior house walls meet.

Q: What is a fascia?

A: Fascias are positioned where the roof and exterior house walls meet.

Q: What is a bargeboard?

A: This is a board that is positioned at a house’s gable end.

Q: How much do soffits cost?

A: Soffits may cost anywhere from £5 to £40 per metre. The price will vary depending on the soffit material and specific product.

The fascia is a crucial part of your roofing. These designs are the long and straight board that runs across your roof at the lower edge. Fascias not only help your roof to maintain its strength, but they also carry all of your home’s guttering.

Because of this, a fascia has to be exceptionally powerful and deals with a lot of strain. If you have an older fascia design, then over time the weight can take its toll.

Replacement guttering and a new fascia bring huge benefits at low cost to UK homes. A durable fascia will be able to protect your roof from poor conditions, especially storms.

The fascia can prevent mould and mildew from building up around your home. Also, these designs create a barrier between the edge of the roof and the outside world.

Fascias are a smooth and sleek finish that improves your home’s look too. You’ll be able to style your fascia with bold colours or even a traditional woodgrain finish, without worrying about it losing its vibrancy.

While wooden fascias used to be popular, and you may have one yourself, uPVC and aluminium are much better options. Not only can you colour them beautifully, but they’re more durable and long-lasting.

Soffits are boards that go underneath fascias, giving them an extra layer of support. Soffits connect the overhang of your roof with your building, and these designs are incredibly flexible.

Because of this, you can fit them in porches, stairs and many other places too, giving you more control of which areas of your home you want to protect. Soffits do this by adding extra insulation to your roofing.

Soffits are the most vulnerable part of your roof. This area of your home has to deal with flowing water constantly and takes the brunt of any guttering issues.

Therefore, it’s essential to choose soffits that use advanced materials in their design. You can either select vinyl soffits or ones made from robust aluminium. The aluminium can last for a lifetime and is fully weatherproof.

The cost of your soffit can vary depending on several factors, though. For example, if you have a larger house, then you can expect to pay more for a more extensive soffit.

Also, if your roofline is challenging to access, especially if you live in a townhouse, then your installers may charge more for the installation. However, a new soffit will play a significant role in helping your home stay warm and dry. Use our soffit and fascia cost estimator to find out more!

Finally, guttering systems help collect rainwater and ensure it doesn’t affect your home. A durable guttering system will be able to take plenty of rain and help it flow down through downpipes into a drainage system.

Modern designs even come with external storage tanks, meaning you can also keep the rain away from your drainage system entirely. Because of this, it makes sure water doesn’t seep through your home’s walls.

Older guttering can weaken over time, though. If you’ve noticed any cracks or blockages in the system, then it could be time to replace it. That’s because the repair costs for guttering can be considerable.

Investing in replacement guttering and a new fascia at low cost in the UK will help you save money over time. Not only that, but blocked guttering is much more costly to replace and more difficult to remove.

With new guttering systems, you can choose between uPVC, aluminium or even steel-type designs. Also, there are both half-round and rectangular-shaped guttering options, each of which has excellent rates of flow.

You can also customise the diameter of your guttering, with up to a 190mm option available to help clear water away efficiently.

How Much Do Fascias & Soffits Cost?

The average cost of installing fascias and soffits as replacement options for your home is between £1,200-3,000 and could be less with our soffit and fascia cost estimator. However, a lot of factors can come into play that affects the cost.

The size of your home can have an impact on the overall cost, mainly because fascias and soffits usually use per metre pricing. Therefore, if you have a smaller home, you won’t have to pay as much.

Another factor that affects soffit prices is whether you select a vented option. Vented soffits have gaps that allow fresh air to enter your attic, improving circulation around your home.

With improved airflow, you’ll maintain a more constant temperature around your roof to stop excess heat or cold affecting it. Vented soffits can cost more, but give you better year-round weather protection.

Soffits and Fascias Cost Per Metre

Soffits and fascias usually have a per metre cost. The average price of soffits and fascias per metre is roughly £100 when you select a white uPVC option, and could be cheaper with our soffit and fascia cost estimator.

While other factors can raise the price, though, you can find plenty of ways to control the cost of replacing your roofline. For a start, you can select a local installer that you trust instead of a national one, as you won’t have to pay as much in travel costs.

You could also choose uPVC fascias and soffits instead of aluminium or vinyl options. That’s because uPVC is more affordable than aluminium initially.

However, aluminium can give you more durability, meaning it’ll be less likely to crack and lose its shape, protecting your home for longer. Either way, when you invest in new roofline with Double Glazing On The Web through our soffit and fascia cost estimator , you’ll be able to choose the materials that suit your budget.

Materials for Fascias and Soffits

Traditionally, wooden fascias have been the most popular option for homes in the UK. However, as time has moved on, these designs are becoming increasingly outdated.

Timber isn’t particularly weatherproof, making it a poor option for dealing with water. Over time, water can enter cracks in the wood and expand them, weakening the board and the rest of your home as a result.

Instead, you could choose modern uPVC fascias and soffits. uPVC is lightweight, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have super strength. The structure can withstand dampness brilliantly, making it far less likely to seep through the roof and play havoc with your home.

Also, uPVC is the cheapest option to install, and that doesn’t mean it has poor performance either.

The alternative is to choose an aluminium structure for these designs. Aluminium is a precious metal, and it has a more robust build than uPVC.

While it isn’t as lightweight, the material is still slim, meaning it won’t strain the rest of your home. Thanks to its unbelievable strength, your fascia will have no issue supporting your home’s guttering, and it’ll stop water in its tracks.

How Much Does It Cost To Replace Gutters and Downpipes?

The average cost to replace guttering in your home is between £480-720. As a result, changing your guttering system as opposed to replacing guttering and a fascia can cost less in the UK.

However, guttering only serves to drive water away from your home and doesn’t offer a lot of protection for your home when the rain hits it.

In some cases, you may also need to replace the downpipes. Your downpipes take on a lot of water, and they can start to crack and rot over time.

 

When you invest in uPVC guttering, you’ll have to get uPVC downpipes as well. But by replacing them now, you can ensure that you save more money in the long run with a durable system that’s far less likely to break.

The materials you choose for your new gutters can also make a massive difference. uPVC guttering costs around £35-50 per metre to refix, while cast-iron steel guttering costs slightly more, with prices starting at £57 per metre.

If you need an entirely new replacement guttering and fascia, though, the cost in the UK will rise with new fixings, joins and adhesives. Also, replacing blocked systems cost more, so replacing gutters in advance is a responsible investment.

Cast-Iron Guttering

Cast-iron gutters are a significant step up on uPVC. For a start, these designs use steel, which has much more strength and robustness.

Because of this, the material is almost impervious to water, meaning it’ll be able to withstand even the worst storms. Also, steel has an impressive metallic sheen that’ll help your roof stand out.

While this replacement guttering is a more costly investment for your UK home, they can also help you to save over time. Whereas uPVC gutters, fascias and soffits usually have a lifespan of around 20 years, cast-iron guttering can perform for double that time, and perhaps longer.

That way, investing in cast-iron guttering today can set your home up for the future, and prevent problems down the line.

How Can I Reduce My Fascia, Soffit and Guttering Replacement Costs?

If you want a new roofline system with a fascia, soffit and guttering option, then the replacement costs can be around £2,000 on average. Of course, this is a costly investment.

But there are loads of small ways you can reduce the price of your roofline and keep more money in your pocket. That way, you can protect your home from the elements without breaking the bank.

Bungalow Fascias

If you live in a bungalow, then you might be in luck. When you invest in fascias for these single-storey spaces, you won’t have to pay as much, if any, scaffolding costs.

Scaffolding can drive the price of your roofing products up considerably. Many installers and suppliers will charge higher labour and equipment costs the higher they go to fit your new additions.

With a bungalow, however, you can save money on the scaffolding and drive the overall cost right down. You can expect to pay up to 25% less for your replacement guttering and fascia cost in the UK!

That means you may only have to pay around £1500 for your installation, or even less if you find other ways to drive the cost down.

However, fascias aren’t the only addition you can make that would significantly improve your bungalow. Many of these homes are older designs with flat roofs. As a result, when the rain comes, it’s much harder to clear as the roof doesn’t have a natural sliding angle.

Because of this, replacing guttering and your fascia at low cost in the UK can make a huge difference, and you can benefit from the reduced scaffolding costs for these designs too.

Also, many bungalows have old walls which don’t have cavity wall insulation as standard. Because of this, when conditions turn, you’ll have less protection inside your home. With fewer materials in between, dampness can affect bungalows quicker.

That means it’s even more vital to invest in fascia, soffit and guttering replacement, especially with the reduced costs.

What is the Difference Between Barge Boards and Fascias?

Fascias are entirely different from barge boards, which are more of an aesthetic touch for your roof. Barge boards sit at the gable end of a detached house, and the design can be a standout feature.

Many traditional homes have barge boards with several attractive shapes, including half-sun and other varieties. But barge boards don’t protect your home from excess water as fascias can.

Fascias go around your home, giving you protection from all angles. Also, as they support your guttering, they are much more durable designs than regular barge boards.

As a result, you can choose from robust materials like uPVC and aluminium for these designs, that help to insulate your home and keep rain well away from your space. Because of all this, fascias are much more functional.

Fascia and Soffit Replacement Near Me

Another way you can drive down the cost of your fascia and soffit replacements is to find them where you live. Many people choose name recognition and hire a national supplier to fit their new roofline.

However, while you will get excellent service, you’ll often have to pay much more for the installation. Also, because they’ll have to travel further to get to you, the whole process will take much longer.

To avoid the hassle and save time, you should choose a local installer from your area. But finding one of these yourself can also come with plenty of risks. You can’t be sure of a supplier’s quality, and they may overcharge you for a sub-par service.

That’s why using Double Glazing On The Web for fascia, soffit and guttering replacements can be so helpful. You can use our soffit and fascia cost estimator today to see how much you could save, and you can find a lower replacement guttering and fascia cost in the UK too.

Membrane roofing – installation, price, installation work, Moscow

Membrane roofing: installation and its features

Membrane roofing is a coating technology from modern materials that allows you to get a monolithic roofing with excellent waterproofing characteristics. Such a roof is universal and can be used on hipped, mansard, broken, flat and other types of roofs. In addition, it has high strength and elasticity, resistance to UV radiation and temperature extremes. The disadvantages of membrane roofing include its poor tolerance of organic solvents. The device of a membrane roof is multilayer. The coating consists of a polymer membrane, a vapor barrier layer, and heat-insulating boards. Materials for membrane roofing are divided into three types – TPO (TPO roofing), PVC (PVC membrane roofing) and EPDM (flat membrane roofing based on EPDM membrane).

Membrane roofing is laid by rolling the material over the surface and fixing it with special fasteners. The frequency of installation of fasteners depends on the slope of the roof and the wind load. Membrane roofing is installed mechanically or adhesively.

Classification of roofing membranes

Innovative roofing material – a membrane made of modern material – polymer. Modern technologies, as well as the qualitative characteristics of the polymer itself, make it possible to significantly improve the quality of the manufacture of membranes for roofing.

This kind of covering not only protects against unwanted roof leaks, but also has a number of distinctive qualities that distinguish this covering from other roofing materials.

In addition to its increased moisture resistance, the polymer membrane has the following properties:

1. High resistance to external influences, whether it is atmospheric influence or mechanical or physical;
2. Deep elasticity of the material, makes it possible to resist external factors, and adapt the material to the roof topography;
3. The strength of the membranes, guarantees protection against damage, roofing material;
4. Membrane is a “breathable” material that has the effect of releasing unwanted steam accumulated under the roof of a building. This technology protects against unwanted overheating of the roofing material and the building itself;
5. Environmentally friendly material, polymer membrane meets environmental standards. And does not harm human health and does not harm the environment;
6. Withstands thermal stress from -40 to +85 degrees Celsius;
7. Has a fire-fighting effect, is highly flammable.

Benefits! In addition, in comparison with the most common roofing materials: metal, ordinary or seam tiles, polymer membrane coating, has several advantages:

1. Membrane coating is more resistant to external influences than other types of roofing;
2. Coating with anti-fire effect, gives high resistance to fire;
3. The membrane structure of the sections makes the material elastic. That makes it possible to adapt to the relief of buildings and perform a wide variety of roofing work;
4. Easy operation of membranes, allows you to perform roofing work on your own.
5. Modern manufacturing materials provide a wide range of colors for the polymer membrane.

The polymer membrane is ideal for roofing large areas, its characteristics make it possible to protect against external and internal factors of undesirable effects on the human body. It perfectly protects the building from unwanted moisture, and prevents overheating.

Varieties of polymer membranes

There are three types of polymer membranes, they differ in the materials used in their manufacture:

1. PVC. This type of polymer membrane is based on polyvinyl chloride material, which has high elasticity and hardness and high insulating non-conductivity. Plasticizer, a component that is responsible for the elasticity of this type of membrane. Due to the special structure of the membranes, in which the fibers of the material are intertwined in a special way (polyester mesh), the roofing material has increased strength. When laying this type of roof, a special algorithm is used, in which all joints and corners of sections are processed;
2. EPDM. A material based on elastic rubber. He is responsible for the flexibility of the membranes. The use of rubber in this type of roofing makes it possible to give the material increased durability and the ability to adapt to different roof topography. Fiberglass gives stability and strength to the material. There is a variety of EPDM, in its manufacture rubber and bitumen are used, which gives strength to the material;
3. TPO. It is made on the basis of fiberglass rubber, which gives the material strength, and rubber is responsible for flexibility. The membrane also contains polyester, which gives the membrane unique high-strength properties. This type of roofing is a novelty on the market and is just beginning to conquer it. At the same time, its characteristics allow it to compete with the most advanced materials for roofing of other types.

Pros and Cons of Installing Roofing Membrane

Benefits

Polymeric membranes have dominated the European roofing market for decades. More than eighty percent of European houses are covered with this material. It is thanks to the following indicators that the membrane coating is so popular:

1. Breathable membrane, contributes to the formation of a favorable microclimate in the room and eliminates excess moisture in the room.
2. Long wear resistance of the material, allows you not to worry about the roof for several decades, the same quality of all sections;
3. Savings due to the fact that the coating is made in one layer, and does not require additional costs;
4. The membranes also contain substances that are resistant to various external deformations. These are fiberglass and bitumen;
5. Flexible membranes allow you to choose material for versatile roof topography;
6. Have stable properties against chemical or biological contamination;
7. Environmentally friendly material.

Disadvantages

1. The main and perhaps the most unpleasant disadvantage is the price. Membrane coating is quite an expensive pleasure, its cost is much higher than the cost of other roofing materials. But it should be borne in mind that the life of the membrane coating is higher.
2. EPDM has its own drawback, due to the specifics of the installation, which uses glue at the joints of the sections. It is the glue that can become the weak link in the roofing system.
3. Membranes using TPO bitumen often have reduced elasticity. At the same time, they withstand high temperature loads, especially with a minus indicator. And they also have increased resistance to external influences.

Roofing	Um.	Price, rub.0003 PVC. PVC membranes are characterized by good strength and high resistance to moisture. The PVC sheet for roofing is of sufficient thickness, while providing good waterproofing both on flat areas and at corners or junctions of planes. Thermoplastic olefin (TPO) membranes reinforced with strong fiberglass mesh. The fiberglass backing increases the tensile strength even under strong point loads. To obtain airtight seams at the joints of the canvases, special equipment is used. EPDM is another polymer used in roofing membranes. EPDM impregnated sheets are very flexible, which makes it easier to finish roofs with complex shapes. The tear and tensile strength is also very high. When choosing a material for a membrane roof, take into account such parameters as the slope of the surface, the loads that the coating will experience, as well as the available budget. The high qualification of the craftsmen makes it possible to mount the coating on the basis of any membranes with the same quality. Roofing membranes can be mounted in several ways: For mechanical fastening, dowel-umbrellas with wide necks are used, pressing the membrane sheet to the base. Mechanical fastening is usually combined with adhesive, which increases the reliability of installation. In adhesive bonding, the individual webs are held together with self-adhesive tapes. TPO or PVC membranes can also be welded together. Welding of sheets under the influence of high temperature makes it possible to form sealed joints – durable and not subject to leakage. Membrane roof installation: technology Membrane roofing is usually installed on roofs with a slight slope. Before starting work, the old roofing is inspected, and if it is in poor condition, it is dismantled. The floor on which the membranes will be laid is repaired by eliminating gaps, cracks or other defects. Further work scheme depends on whether additional thermal insulation is required. A vapor barrier membrane is laid on the base, then one or two layers of high-density heat-insulating mats (mineral wool or extruded polystyrene foam). With the help of dense mats on flat roofs, a slope is also performed – the formation of a slope towards the edge of the roof to drain rainwater. On roofs with a minimum pitch, a ballast system is also used. Pebbles, gravel, crushed stone or concrete blocks are laid on top of the laid membranes. Heavy ballast fixes the coating on the base, and does not allow the wind to blow off the canvas. After completion of installation on the main surfaces, related work is carried out – finishing of parapets.

Other services Installation of a flat roof Installation of a soft roof Installation of a seam roof Membrane roof its price, pluses and minuses of subtleties of installation. pvc roofing membrane, roofing membrane In recent years, the owners of country estates prefer to equip the membrane roof. What is it and what are its benefits? Contents Application Basic characteristics of membranes Features Pros and cons of membrane roofing Cost of membrane roofing Assembly This coating has high waterproofing properties and allows you to equip the roof without seams. The resource of such a roof reaches 50 years. For the construction of this type of roof, artificial rubber or polymeric materials are used, their elasticity makes it possible to create any planes and slopes, that is, it allows you to implement the most complex geometric shapes. Depending on the material, membrane roofing is classified into three types: PVC. The basis of these membranes is polyvinyl chloride, which is characterized by high insulating parameters. To ensure the proper level of elasticity, plasticizers are added to the material. The production technology involves the use of a polyester mesh, which increases the strength and elasticity of the coating. PVC membrane roofing is easy to install, but the knots must be made according to the instructions. TPO. This rolled coating based on thermally plastic olefins appeared on the Russian market relatively recently. Fiberglass or polyester is used as a reinforcing material. Installation is carried out by hot air welding. EPDM. It is made on the basis of artificial rubber, which leads to high elasticity of the material. During installation, it is necessary to glue the joints. There are two-layer EPDM membranes made of rubber and bitumen, fiberglass serves as a reinforcing material. Application Typically, membranes are used to equip roofs with complex geometries, including spherical ones. Also, this material is successfully used on flat surfaces with the subsequent creation of additional usable space on them: recreation areas, small gardens and summer canteens. The membrane roofing system is laid both on the roofs of residential buildings and industrial facilities. In fact, it is optimal for all structural roof solutions: inverted, with and without ventilation, inclined, flat, ballast, with photocells and others. But in each case, it is necessary to apply the optimal technology, how to make membrane roofs. Related articles Flat roof drains Roof truss systems Moss removal from soft roofs Water systems Aquasystem The main characteristics of the membranes: high moisture resistance; good strength characteristics; optimal elasticity and extensibility; UV resistant; resistance to aggressive environmental influences; wide operating temperature range from -35 to +80 degrees; a sufficient level of vapor permeability ensures stable diffusion of humidity; complies with the standards of fire safety regulations for facilities. Features Compared to such popular coatings as metal tiles, flexible tiles, seam roofing or cement-sand, membrane roofing has the following features: higher resistance to negative impacts; the ability to form complex geometric shapes; higher level of fire resistance; ease of installation, maintenance and repair; a wide range of colors. Pros and cons of membrane roofing The advantages of membrane roofing are numerous, which was fully appreciated by residents of Europe, where about 80% of the housing stock has this particular coating: comes out; long service life with preservation of functionality; more often installation is carried out in one layer; different sizes (length and width) allow you to choose the best material for a particular roof; the presence of a reinforcing material makes the material resistant to compression and stretching; resistance to biological and chemical attack. There are also disadvantages of membrane roofing: EDPM membrane has a rather high cost; is not the highest material strength values. Our works New flexible roofing in Timoshkino Replacing the roofing of an office building in Dzerzhinsky Roofing from scratch in the Nightingale Grove CP Roofing from scratch in the village of Obukhovo Membrane roofing cost The exact cost can be called depending on how to make membrane roofing . It is necessary to draw up an estimate indicating the materials, works and their volumes. The usual comparison of prices is meaningless, for example, it is believed that this type of roof is 35% more expensive, non-living coating of bituminous materials. But it should be understood that the membranes are laid in one layer, and the cost of arrangement is minimal. Together with a long service life, the real difference becomes less significant. Installation Let’s consider the arrangement of the roof with PVC membranes. Mounting can be carried out in three ways: Mechanical. The basis for laying membranes mechanically can be corrugated board, wood or concrete. Along the perimeter, the material can be fixed with rails, but a sealing layer must be fixed on their underside. In places of seams, fastening is best done with self-tapping screws. It is recommended to use telescopic fasteners around the perimeter. If the roof has a complex geometry, it is better to glue the membranes with mounting glue. If the slope exceeds 10 degrees, it is recommended to use disc holders, they are installed in 20 cm increments. If you choose a mechanical method of laying membranes, you need to take care of the integrity of the material. Ballasted. This method is considered the simplest, it is mainly used if the slope does not exceed 15 degrees. First, the material is laid on the roof surface, then it is leveled and fixed along the perimeter by welding or using glue. Next, ballast is laid on top. It can be crushed stone, river pebbles or gravel. At least 50 kg of ballast must be laid per 1 square meter. Of course, the construction of such a roof must be strong in order to withstand such a load. Heat welded. This method is preferred by specialists as the most technologically advanced. With the help of heat welding, the roof of the house is as reliable as possible, and its appearance is pleasing to the eye. Works are carried out using special welding equipment. Heat welding is carried out by a dry stream of hot air, the temperature of which can vary from 400 to 600 degrees. Optimum reliability of connections is ensured by the width of the welding layer from 20 to 100 mm. The result is a sealed surface of decent quality. In principle, it is quite possible to make a membrane roof with your own hands, but in order to take into account all the nuances of a particular roof, and the coating lasts the time measured by the manufacturer, it is better to resort to the services of professionals.

Ivashov Fedor Valentinovich Share us on social networks installation, device, prices – WikiStroy It is possible to call this material new for roofing only in a certain context. In Europe, it has been known and used since the 1960s, in Russia it has been known since the 1990s. For 20 years, PVC was rarely used for outdoor work due to the lack of technology and equipment. The well-established production of traditional roofing materials – slate, roofing material – created irresistible competition, despite its retrospective nature. With the development of market relations, manufacturers have the opportunity to purchase high-tech production lines, and new types of products have seen the light of day – euroroofing material and PVC membranes. These two main competitors perform the same task, but have different properties, which we will discuss below. PVC membrane for roofing This material consists of three layers – base, reinforcing mesh and protection. The base is modified polyvinyl chloride with filler (chalk), adapted for outdoor use. In order to maintain the elasticity of the material at low temperatures, substances based on petroleum products are introduced into the composition of PVC, related to those used in antifreezes – ethylene glycol or propylene glycol. Reinforcing mesh – ordinary fiberglass impregnated with non-combustible synthetic resins. Cell 5×5 mm in the material of the plane and 1.5×1.5 for the design of adjunctions. The outer layer (protection) is PVC with a compacted structure. Since the material is melted at a high temperature, the outer layer is slightly melted – this changes its crystal lattice. After cooling, the melted PVC is absolutely hermetic and has a smooth glossy surface. It is worth noting that the temperature is used at all stages of the production of PVC products – in particular, for rallying all three layers together. Application of PVC membrane Roofing membranes are used in industrial and private construction to cover roof planes and adjacent elements – walls, plinths, valleys, etc. Theoretically, it can be used on any type of roof, but due to the unpretentious technical appearance of the outer layer, it is not suitable for building decoration, having claims for artistic value or design intent. About 85% of all PVC membrane applications are flat roofs with a small slope and internal drainage. Such roofs are arranged on concrete floors of industrial and public buildings. Another aspect of the material – tightness – builders use when constructing water tanks. Using a membrane, you can create a pool, the cost of which will be very cheap compared to any other type of bowl. Application of PVC membrane, video Also, PVC membrane can be used for waterproofing contact planes – foundation, piles, pillars, retaining walls. The vapor permeability of the membrane provides additional protection by removing moisture from the plane. Advantages of PVC membrane for roofing There is no ideal roofing material, but PVC has a number of undeniable qualities that in many cases will be indispensable: Tightness. Vapor permeability. Mechanical resistance. A welded seam or a continuous section is extremely difficult to break or damage with a random object. Constancy of the size at an ultrathin layer. Usually the thickness of the canvas is 1.2–1.5 mm, while it is not glued, welded, or fixed “solid”. Enough point doweling with hollow plastic “umbrellas”. After welding the seams, a solid carpet is obtained, which retains its dimensions thanks to the fiberglass mesh. Non-flammable, non-toxic. Relatively simple installation, respectively, higher labor productivity. A link of 3 people lays up to 1000 square meters. m of roofing in one working day. Maintainability. Any defect can be corrected quickly and easily * – just apply a patch from the remnants of the material. Low specific weight, easy storage and delivery. * If you have the necessary tools. The above advantages are associated with the use of the membrane as a roofing material. Its “spare” advantage is the possibility of using it as a vapor barrier when installing a roof with a sheathing (metal tile, slate, profile). Disadvantages of PVC membrane for roofing Of course, the membrane has its own “problems”, which require skill and tools to solve: A solid solid foundation is required. An intermediate (preparatory) layer is required. Usually geotextiles are used. Technical appearance. For welding, you need a professional hair dryer capable of maintaining the set temperature – overheating or underheating during soldering violates the properties of the “blanket”. This drawback is conditional, because in private construction, the purchase of a professional tool is not included in the plans. The list of disadvantages is relatively small, since the possibility of facing pitched roofs is not considered in principle. Usually, the membrane is laid simply on top of the existing material or on the insulation (polystyrene foam). Ruberoid has much more problems compared to a membrane – it burns out, melts out, is up to 5 times thicker and is extremely flammable. Its significant share speaks not only of the cost of transport, but also of the amount of raw materials spent for its production. The laying of roofing material is incomparably more complicated – the process requires bulky equipment or an open flame. Installation of PVC membrane For work, you will need the usual set of measuring and marking tools (tape measure, markers, square, etc.), rubber rollers and one specific device – a professional building hair dryer with a special nozzle. Question. Why choose a professional hair dryer for work? Is it possible to get by with the usual cheap ones? Answer. On a professional tool, it is possible to set a stable temperature (520 ° C for 1.5 mm and 460 ° C for 1.2 mm), which is necessary for optimal heating during vulcanization. The results of membrane soldering tests at different temperatures are shown in the video For the installation of large areas of the roof, a semi-automatic soldering machine is used, which is configured for different modes – the speed of movement changes. The machine has sufficient weight and rollers for rolling the seam. Operating procedure: Thoroughly dust the surface. Lay a preparatory layer – geotextile or thick technical interlining. Determine the direction of water flow and the optimal position of the strips. Attention! Make a junction of strips at the junction of sloping surfaces (gutter). Lay out the strips with an overlap of at least 100 mm and cut them in place. Solder the strips together into one “blanket”. Wipe with solvent before soldering. In critical places (internal and external corners, junctions, transitions), make additional overlays from a special flexible membrane.
