Tiverton’s high proportion of post-war housing where timber fascias are now overdue replacement. Rotten fascia boards allow water to track back into the roof structure and gutters to pull away from the roofline — the consequences go well beyond the cosmetic. We install uPVC fascias, soffits and bargeboards across Tiverton with full roofline surveys and no call-out fee. Call 01392 759 295.
The roofline on a Tiverton property serves a critical function beyond appearance — it seals the gap between the wall and the roof structure, carries the guttering load, and prevents water ingress and pest access at the eaves. When fascia boards rot, water tracks behind them and into the roof timbers. When gutters pull away from rotted fascias, water runs down the wall face rather than into the drain. We carry out a full roofline assessment on every Tiverton property before quoting.
We install reinforced uPVC fascia and soffit boards that carry a 10-year guarantee and require no painting or maintenance. On Tiverton’s period properties where conservation area rules apply or where heritage aesthetics matter, we can advise on profiles and finishes that are sympathetic to the building. All Tiverton roofline work includes the removal of old boards, inspection of the rafter feet, and full disposal.
The softwood timber fascias on Tiverton’s Exe Vale and Westexe estate housing are now 50–60 years old. End-of-life typically manifests as softness at the nail lines where moisture has entered through paint cracking, splitting along the grain on exposed south-facing boards, or full rot at the ends where gutter brackets have been the entry point for sustained moisture. We replace these boards with cellular uPVC that is maintenance-free, carries no risk of future rot, and provides a clean finish that improves the appearance of the roofline significantly over weathered timber.
Tiverton’s above-average rainfall means gutter overflow is more frequent than in drier areas, and the rafter feet behind Tiverton fascias are more commonly affected by water damage than equivalent properties in sheltered Exeter suburbs. Every Tiverton fascia replacement includes a rafter foot inspection. When deterioration is found, we include repair timber in the quote and carry out the repair as part of the same programme. Leaving a deteriorated rafter foot in place behind a new fascia board stores up a structural problem for the future.
Tiverton’s gable-end properties carry bargeboards at the verge that are subject to the same weathering as the main fascia but often receive less maintenance attention. South and west facing bargeboards in Tiverton can fail ahead of the main fascia due to greater UV and rain exposure. We inspect bargeboard condition as part of every Tiverton roofline survey and include them in the replacement quote where deterioration is found. A replaced fascia with a failed bargeboard creates an inconsistent appearance and leaves a gap in the weatherproofing at the gable end.
