Fascias and soffits protect the roof edge, support guttering and help prevent water damage to the roofline.

Over time, timber boards can rot or deteriorate, while older plastic systems may crack or discolour.

A fascia and soffits replacement service in Shetland Islands can remove worn materials and install new boards to protect the roof structure and improve the appearance of the property.

• Inspecting rafter ends and roofline timbers
• Replacing damaged or rotten timber where required
• Installing new fascia boards
• Installing new soffits, including ventilated soffits where needed
• Refitting or replacing guttering

Several materials are commonly used for fascia and soffit replacement:
