We all know about gutters, but what about fascias? White uPVC Fascia directly supports the roof’s eaves, keeping water from coming in contact with the underside of the shingles if water squeezes between the shingles and the gutter.

The gutter is then bolted directly into the fascia, meaning the durability of a gutter depends on strong fascias to support it.

Soffits are the underlying edge that supports the roof’s eaves, keeping the shingles’ underside protected from rain and moisture. While Oak uPVC fascia help protects the eaves directly, soffits benefit the wall, providing a barrier where water can easily fall away from the base of the wall. This keeps the joints from coming into direct contact with water, which could spell disaster in the form of mould and mildew.

This intricate and protective layering of Soffits, Fascia, and Guttering helps your home by keeping it free from direct contact with water. As rainwater flows down the roof, it becomes a stream that would otherwise fall directly down the side of the home and cause problems in the foundation over time.

The soffits extend the roof’s edge out away from the home and provide proper ventilation for the attic, which can help regulate the temperature inside the house.

Above that, the fascia serves as a protective trim that keeps rain from backtracking underneath the shingles, and then guttering is installed flush to the wall so that any rain that falls from the roof is dumped into a series of pipes that run along the roof’s edge. They go into a downspout, where the water is funnelled into the ground away from the foundation, typically with additional drainage support from gravel or other porous materials that prevent soil erosion.

Replacing fascia and soffits is a technical process, which makes it imperative to work with a professional home improvement company like Albay Homes. Not only will the expert knowledge of a professional save you a lot of time and hard work, but a professional can also provide advice on preventing damage in the future.

The best time to replace Fascia and soffits is before the temperatures turn cold and the season is relatively dry. These elements are critical to a home. However, it’s not always easy to plan roof maintenance if it is damaged by a storm or other types of damage, which is why this type of work can be seen year-round.

Gutter replacement is best done from late spring to early fall when temperatures are warm, and precipitation is low. Given the importance of a gutter to a home, gutters can and should be installed or replaced at any time of the year under almost any conditions.

Replacing the uPVC fascia and soffit requires a steady and professional hand. It needs to happen every 10-12 years for optimal performance. Therefore, choosing a company that will discuss your needs is essential for creating a foundation for a trustworthy relationship.

New uPVC soffits and fascia add value to your home by improving curb appeal. They also make the property appear more appealing to potential buyers. Beyond that, they can help prevent water damage to the foundation by deflecting water away. This is a big selling point for buyers looking for a quality structure for the home. Degraded or neglected fascia and guttering mean that the house will likely have more foundational issues.

Overall, you can’t go wrong by adding value to the home by adding new uPVC soffits, fascia, and guttering. Most buyers appreciate the additional attention to these details, which is a good sign. It means that the rest of the home will get similar care. However, many homeowners tend to neglect these areas in favour of floor and ceiling repairs.

While many soffit white uPVC boards are waterproof, not all are. Albay Homes ensures that all the materials used in your home improvements are of the best quality, including water-resistant soffits.

Excessive exposure to water can damage the soffit board. Even if these boards are for exterior use, you must install them under the roof. You also need to attach shingles to protect them from direct water exposure. This can result in unsightly and unhealthy wood rot and mould growth on the roof.

If the shingles are not protecting your soffits appropriately, you may need to repair the shingles. There are chances of damage to the roofing that could be present elsewhere on the roof line. It would be best if you also replaced the soffits to prevent further mould growth and damage from moisture.

If your white uPVC soffits, fascias, and guttering are in good condition, you may be able to avoid replacement costs altogether.
