Elevated suburb with above-average wind exposure on north-west faces — victorian and edwardian Pennsylvania Road and surrounding streets. Exposed north-west elevation fascias on pennsylvania properties show accelerated paint and timber degradation; replacement priority on west-facing boards.
Pennsylvania’s specific characteristics create distinct fascias & soffits requirements. The victorian and edwardian housing stock in Pennsylvania presents conditions that differ from Exeter’s post-war suburbs, and the correct specification for each job reflects the age, construction method and local exposure of the property.
Exposed north-west elevation fascias on pennsylvania properties show accelerated paint and timber degradation; replacement priority on west-facing boards. We carry out free surveys across Pennsylvania, Exeter and provide written fixed-price quotes with no call-out fee.
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 Pennsylvania, 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 Pennsylvania 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.
