The Part of Your Roof That Quietly Causes the Most Damage
Your roofline is the strip where the roof meets the walls. The fascia carries the guttering, the soffit closes off the gap underneath, and the bargeboard finishes the gable end. It is the least glamorous part of a house and the part that causes the most expensive problems when it fails.
Once a fascia starts to rot, the guttering it holds up begins to sag and pull away. Water then runs down the wall rather than into the drain, and over a winter or two that means damp inside, saturated brickwork and rot spreading back into the roof timbers. It is a comparatively small job that prevents a very large one.
We replace roofline across the whole of Devon in low maintenance uPVC, in white, black, grey, oak effect and rosewood, so it suits period and modern properties alike. Every installation is backed by our workmanship guarantee, and we are fully insured. We tidy up properly and take the old timber away with us.
Our Roofline Services
From a single cracked bargeboard to replacing the roofline around the entire house, here is what we take on across Devon.
Full Roofline Replacement
Fascias, soffits, bargeboards and guttering replaced around the whole property in one go. It works out considerably cheaper than doing it piecemeal, it all matches, and you will not have to think about it again for decades.
uPVC Fascia Replacement
Rotten timber fascias stripped out and replaced with maintenance free uPVC. Available in white, black, grey, oak effect and rosewood so the finish suits the property rather than fighting it.
Soffit Replacement & Repair
The board that closes off the underside of the roof edge. We replace failed soffits with vented uPVC, which keeps the loft breathing properly and stops condensation building up in the roof space.
Guttering & Downpipe Replacement
New guttering and downpipes fitted and set to the right fall so water actually reaches the drain. Old cast iron and tired plastic replaced with a system that will not sag, split or leak at the joints.
Gutter Repairs, Realignment & Cleaning
Blocked, leaking or sagging guttering cleared, resealed and reset to the correct fall. Worth doing before overflowing water starts marking the walls, and far cheaper than replacement.
Bargeboard Replacement
The angled board that finishes the gable end. Exposed to the worst of the weather and usually the first thing to rot, so it is often what prompts the call in the first place.

F. A. Q's
Roofline Questions, Answered
Below are the questions we are asked most often about fascias, soffits and guttering. If yours is not covered here, call us and ask.
The usual signs are flaking or peeling paint, timber that feels soft or spongy, green algae growth, guttering that has started to sag or pull away from the wall, and water running down the brickwork rather than into the downpipe. If the guttering is moving, the fascia behind it is almost always the reason.
If one section has gone and the rest is sound timber of the same age, the rest is usually not far behind. Doing the lot in one visit costs considerably less than three separate jobs with three lots of access equipment, and everything matches. That said, if only a bargeboard has failed we are happy to just replace the bargeboard. We will tell you honestly which situation you are in.
White is the most common, but uPVC roofline comes in black, anthracite grey, oak effect and rosewood as well. Black and grey have become very popular on both modern and period properties. We will talk through what suits your brickwork and what the neighbouring houses look like, because roofline that clashes with the street tends to stand out.
A typical semi detached house is usually one to two days. A larger detached property, or one where scaffolding is needed rather than a tower, takes longer. It is one of the least disruptive jobs we do, since nothing is opened up and the house stays entirely normal inside throughout.
It never needs painting, which is the main advantage over timber, and it will not rot. An occasional wash down keeps it looking right, and the guttering still needs clearing of leaves and moss now and then like any other system. Beyond that there is nothing to do.
Guttering Sagging? Fascias Gone Soft?
It is a small job now and a much bigger one once water has been running down the wall for two winters. Call JD Roofing Solutions Ltd for a free assessment anywhere in Devon.
