Historic devon market town built around the collegiate church of st mary, with a town centre of medieval and georgian stock and surrounding victorian residential expansion. The dominant housing stock — medieval and georgian medieval town centre cottages and Georgian residential — creates specific fascias & soffits requirements that differ from Exeter’s inner suburban areas. Heritage profile upvc on conservation area properties; lime render surrounds on medieval cottages require specialist attention during fascia replacement.
Otter valley position above honiton with similar rainfall but more exposure on the church hill location; frost pockets in low-lying riverside areas. For fascias & soffits work in Ottery St Mary, this means the specification and maintenance cycle differs from more sheltered Devon towns. We account for Ottery St Mary’s specific climate exposure in every survey and quote we provide.
Ottery St Mary’s medieval and georgian medieval town centre cottages and Georgian residential at Ottery St Mary’s specific geographic position create a fascias & soffits profile that is distinct from the surrounding Devon towns. Lead flashing failure at the collegiate church complex creates complex conservation repair scenarios. Clay peg tile slippage on cottages in the historic core. Frost heave on mortar joints at elevated positions. We carry out free surveys across Ottery St Mary and provide written, fixed-price quotes.
The rafter feet are the ends of the roof rafters where they project over the wall at the eaves. They are hidden behind the fascia board and are the element most frequently damaged by fascia failure. When a fascia board has allowed water to reach the rafter feet — typically from sustained gutter overflow or from rain tracking behind a loose board — the end grain of the timber absorbs moisture and decays from the inside. The exterior face of the rafter can appear sound while the structural cross-section is significantly compromised. In Ottery St Mary, where some properties have had the same fascia boards for 50–70 years, rafter foot decay is a common finding on survey. We probe the visible rafter foot surface with a sharp implement during every Ottery St Mary fascia survey. Sound timber is hard; deteriorated timber is soft or crumbles. Where decay is found, we include epoxy consolidation or sister-rafter repair in the fascia replacement quote as a confirmed scope item.
