If you’ve noticed peeling paint, sagging gutters or damp patches near your ceilings, it could be a sign that your fascias, soffits or guttering have reached the end of their life. Many older homes across Dorset still have timber boards that haven’t been inspected for decades.

Your fascia, soffits and guttering aren’t just cosmetic – they form the first line of defence against water ingress, damp and decay; ultimately all leading to steady structural issues over time. Together, your components protect your home. From the top down – directing rainwater safely away from your walls and house foundations.
When these parts become damaged or clogged the consequences are serious. Leaking gutters can saturate brickwork, leading to rising damp and mould inside your property. Cracked or rotting fascia boards can allow pests and birds into your roof void, while failing soffits can limit essential ventilation, encouraging condensation and decay in the roof timbers.
In older homes, rooflines are often made from painted timber – prone to weathering and rot, especially after years of neglect. Once moisture gets in, repairs become costly and invasive. That’s why preventative action is always more cost-effective than emergency fixes.
Upgrading to modern uPVC fascias and soffits not only improves protection but also removes the need for ongoing painting or sealing. It’s a one-time investment that can last for decades – enhancing kerb appeal, preventing expensive repairs and complying with current building regulations.
At RV Roofing & Building, we’ve seen first-hand how small signs of damage can lead to major headaches. That’s why we encourage every homeowner to take their roofline seriously.
New fascias and guttering don’t just defend against water damage – they transform the look of your property. A sharp, clean roofline boosts kerb appeal and can impress surveyors and potential buyers.
Whether you plan to stay long term or eventually sell, a roofline upgrade is a simple way to add value and peace of mind at the same time.
Fascias form the straight board that runs along the lower edge of your roof, directly beneath the edge of the tiles. Their job is crucial: they support the bottom row of roof tiles and carry the weight of the guttering – particularly during heavy downpours when litres of water are being directed away from your roofline.
Over time, traditional timber fascias can deteriorate due to constant exposure to rain, temperature changes and moisture from clogged gutters. Cracking paint, swollen joints or visible gaps can be the first signs that your fascia boards are failing. If left unresolved, this damage can begin to affect rafter ends and internal roof timbers, leading to rot and more complex repairs.
RV Roofing & Building specialise in replacing outdated or damaged fascia boards with durable, maintenance-free uPVC alternatives. These modern fascias come in a variety of colours and profiles to suit the style of your property, from contemporary homes to period houses. Unlike timber, uPVC fascias require no repainting and are resistant to warping, splitting or water absorption. Each board is precision-cut and installed with proper ventilation and sealing, ensuring a neat, watertight finish that holds up for decades.
Every installation is completed in line with current building standards, offering long-term protection and peace of mind. Where needed, we’ll even check the condition of your rafter ends and advise on any remedial work before new boards are installed.
Soffits are the horizontal boards fitted under the fascia, bridging the gap between the fascia and the wall of your home. While they are not as visible as fascias from the ground, they are no less important. Soffits serve two vital purposes: they protect the underside of your roof structure from weather exposure and they help ventilate your loft space, reducing the risk of condensation and timber rot.
Older soffits, especially those made from plywood or fibreboard, can become warped or infested with insects over time. In some cases, they may have been painted over repeatedly, reducing their effectiveness or trapping moisture within the roofline. Inadequate ventilation due to blocked or non-existent soffit vents is also a common problem, particularly in homes built before modern building regulations were enforced.
Our soffit installations are tailored to offer both aesthetic and functional improvement. We use high-quality uPVC soffits that are vented to ensure proper airflow into the roof space, helping regulate temperature and humidity. These soffits are available in clean white, anthracite grey and woodgrain finishes to complement your fascia boards and windows.
Unlike older materials, uPVC soffits are resistant to rot, mould and discolouration. They can also be installed as either continuous or individual board types, depending on your home’s requirements. Our team ensures a seamless look by aligning joints precisely and maintaining full ventilation channels across the entire run of roofline.
Each installation is carefully measured and fitted to avoid sagging or gaps, which are common issues in rushed or budget installations. We inspect roof eaves and remove any nesting debris, wasp activity or hidden damage during the replacement process.
By taking this thorough approach, we guarantee soffits that not only look smart but also perform consistently year-round.
Guttering plays a key role in preserving the condition of your home.
When it fails – whether due to cracks, misalignment or blockages – the effects can be seen quickly, often as water stains, algae growth or even internal dampness.
Many older homes still rely on narrow, steel or ageing plastic guttering systems that simply can’t cope with today’s heavier rainfall. Overflowing water may run down brickwork, soak into the mortar or pool around the base of the property – all of which can lead to long-term damage and rising damp. Likewise, sections of sagging or disconnected guttering can become dangerous during winter as trapped water freezes and expands.
Offering a full replacement and upgrade service for your entire guttering system. We supply and install high-performance uPVC guttering in a variety of profiles – including standard round, square-line and high-capacity deep flow options. Deep flow systems are ideal for large or complex roofs, offering increased volume handling and reduced risk of overflow, even during the most torrential downpours.
Every system is installed with a precise fall gradient to encourage efficient drainage and minimise standing water. Brackets are securely fixed at measured intervals to ensure no sagging or separation over time. We also offer matching uPVC downpipes in black, white or anthracite finishes, complete with durable fixings and options for diverters or rainwater harvesting systems.
To complete the installation, we clear all existing debris and double-check gutter outlets for blockages or incorrect sizing. Our aim is not just to fit a gutter that looks neat, but to ensure it protects your building’s structure – from the roofline to the foundations – against water damage and costly repairs in the future.
Excellent repair work and they alerted us to the bad installation of flue pipe through the roof which needed lead covering. They applied lead plate around the pipe and did a great job. Would definitely recommend.
Mr and Mrs. Hargrave had lived in their Poole bungalow for over thirty years. Like many properties built in the 1970s, the home still featured its original timber fascias and cast-iron guttering, which had begun to show signs of advanced wear. Peeling paint, water-stained brickwork and sagging gutters had become a growing concern. The couple also noticed signs of interior damp patches forming beneath the eaves, prompting them to seek expert help.
After an initial inspection, RV Roofing & Building identified that the timber fascia boards had rotted in several areas, especially at the corners and under previous gutter joints. The soffits, painted multiple times over the years, had warped and no longer provided effective ventilation to the roof void. The cast-iron guttering, though solid in its day, was misaligned and heavily corroded in sections, leading to leaks that were contributing to the damp.
Our team recommended a full roofline upgrade using modern, low-maintenance uPVC components. The homeowners opted for a classic white finish to keep in line with the traditional look of their home. We safely removed the old roofline and treated any areas of exposed rafter ends to prevent further decay. New vented soffit boards were installed to restore airflow into the loft, helping reduce the risk of future condensation issues. The replacement fascias were custom-cut to ensure a tight, seamless fit, with special attention paid to joint sealing and drainage angles.
To solve the ongoing guttering problems, we fitted a new round uPVC guttering system with matching downpipes. This system offered a smoother flow rate and would require far less maintenance than the original setup. The installation was completed over three days, with all waste materials responsibly removed from site.
Following the work, the homeowners noted an immediate improvement in both the exterior appearance of their property and the functionality of the drainage. They were especially pleased with how tidy and considerate the team were during the installation, as well as the reassurance of the long-term guarantee provided.

Many homeowners first notice an issue when paint begins to peel or water marks appear near the eaves. You may see sagging gutters, signs of rot or even hear animals nesting within your roofline. In older homes, particularly those with timber boards, the condition can deteriorate without regular inspection. If you see cracking, swelling or gaps in the boards or if your guttering has begun to pull away from the fascia, it’s usually a sign that the structure beneath is compromised and needs replacing. A free site survey from RV Roofing will help determine the condition and suggest the most effective remedy.
In some cases, yes - isolated repairs may be possible if damage is localised and the surrounding materials are still in sound condition. For example, a single gutter joint or a short section of fascia can sometimes be repaired or replaced. However, if rot has spread or if the installation is over 20 years old, a full replacement is often more cost-effective in the long run. Patch jobs may temporarily solve the problem but can fail to address the root cause, especially if ventilation is insufficient or the guttering is no longer aligned correctly.
Timber fascias were the standard in construction for many decades. They can look traditional and blend in with heritage properties, but they require regular maintenance - including repainting and checking for rot. uPVC fascias, on the other hand, are long-lasting, maintenance-free and resistant to weather, insects and damp. Modern uPVC also comes in various finishes, including woodgrain textures and a range of colours, allowing you to keep the look of natural timber with the benefits of plastic. Most homeowners choose uPVC today because it offers peace of mind and saves money over time.
In most cases, yes. Proper access is essential to ensure a safe, high-quality installation. Scaffolding allows the team to work securely around the entire perimeter of the property without rushing or taking unnecessary risks. It also makes it possible to remove old materials cleanly, protect landscaping or paving and check areas that might be inaccessible by ladder. RV Roofing provides and arranges all necessary scaffolding as part of the quote, so there are no hidden costs or delays.
The average fascia, soffit and guttering replacement on a standard detached property typically takes between two to four days, depending on access, roof complexity and weather conditions. Semi-detached and terraced homes may take slightly less time. We always aim to work efficiently but thoroughly, ensuring all components are installed properly, sealed against weather and ventilated according to current regulations. You’ll receive a clear project timeline in advance and we keep you informed every step of the way.
We offer a wide range of uPVC guttering solutions, including round, square-line and deep-flow systems. For properties with large roof areas or those prone to heavy rainfall, deep-flow guttering is often the best option, offering superior drainage capacity.
All of our systems are made from robust, UV-resistant materials that maintain their colour and structure for years. We also supply matching downpipes and can add water diverters for rain harvesting, should you require them.
Yes, it’s absolutely vital. Soffits aren’t just about appearance - they help ventilate your loft space, preventing condensation, mould and rot in the roof timbers. When we replace soffits, we install vented uPVC boards that allow air to flow freely into the loft while keeping pests and debris out. If your current soffits are unvented or blocked with paint or insulation, this can be a major contributor to moisture problems in the roof space. Our modern systems are designed with this in mind, ensuring a safe, dry roof for years to come.
Yes, all old fascias, soffits, guttering and associated fixings are removed and disposed of by our team. We carry out this work carefully to avoid damaging any underlying structure and tidy up the area fully once the work is complete.
You won’t be left with any debris or cleanup afterwards - our aim is to leave your property in better condition than when we arrived.
All of our fascia, soffit and guttering installations come with a comprehensive guarantee, typically covering materials and workmanship for 10-20 years depending on the products chosen.
