uPVC Fascia, Soffit & Bargeboard Replacement Across Stockport
We replace and repair uPVC fascias, soffits and bargeboards, the boards that make up your roofline, right across Stockport and East Cheshire, with most fascia and soffit jobs landing between £1,500 and £3,500. We cover Cheadle, Cheadle Hulme and Bramhall across Stockport, out to Wilmslow, Poynton, Alderley Edge and Adlington in East Cheshire, with a free written quote and no obligation.
We do not cap over old timber. We strip the roofline back to the rafter ends, repair any rotten timber underneath, then fit BBA-approved uPVC that lasts 20 to 25 years with no painting and no rot. Most jobs take 1 to 3 working days, and every job is covered by an insurance-backed workmanship guarantee.
See what we offer at a glanceWhy Fascias and Soffits Fail? And How to Spot the Damage
Fascias, soffits and bargeboards form the visible edge of your roof, often called the roofline. The fascia runs along the lower edge where the guttering is fixed. The soffit sits beneath, closing the gap between the wall and the underside of the eaves. The bargeboard runs up the gable ends.
Most older properties in Stockport were built with timber boards, painted to keep moisture out. Once that paint cracks or peels, water gets behind them and the timber starts to rot from the inside. By the time the damage shows from the ground, the boards underneath are usually worse than they look.
uPVC has replaced timber as the standard material because it does not need painting and does not rot. But the work still needs doing properly. Capping over old rotten timber traps moisture, blocks roof ventilation, and accelerates the damage it was supposed to hide.
We strip back failing rooflines and replace them with BBA-approved uPVC fascias, soffits and bargeboards across Stockport, Cheadle, Cheadle Hulme, Bramhall, Marple, Hazel Grove and East Cheshire. A properly fitted uPVC roofline lasts 20 to 25 years with almost no maintenance.
What goes wrong:
- Timber rot - Wet rot spreads through the boards and into the rafter ends behind them. By the time you can see it from the ground, the structural timber underneath is usually affected too and needs rafter-end carpentry before any new boards go on.
- Paint failure - Once paint cracks, peels or flakes, moisture is already getting through to the timber. Repainting at that stage just delays the inevitable.
- Sagging guttering - Once the timber softens with rot, the bracket nails lose their grip and can no longer hold a loaded gutter. The line sags, joints leak, water tracks down the wall, and brickwork starts to stain or spall.
- Blocked or absent ventilation - Poorly fitted or blocked soffits stop air moving through the eaves. Loft condensation builds up, insulation gets damp, and you may see mould on bedroom ceilings. Vented soffits or over-fascia strips restore airflow to current building regulations.
- Pest entry - Even small gaps in a soffit are an invitation. Wasps, birds, squirrels and bats all use roofline gaps to nest. Once they are in, they are hard to get out.
- Asbestos in older soffits - Some 1950s and 60s properties have asbestos cement soffits. We identify it on survey and arrange safe removal through a licensed specialist before fitting the new boards.
Warning signs you need attention now
- Cracked, split or rotten boards
- Paint peeling, flaking or fading
- Gutters sagging or pulling away from the house
- Damp patches on upstairs ceilings
- Mould or condensation in the loft
- Birds, wasps or squirrels nesting in the eaves
- Holes or visible gaps in the soffit boards

- Light oak, rosewood or Irish oak woodgrain
- No painting, no rot, mechanically fixed to the rafter ends
-
Soffit Replacement & Roof Ventilation
- Approved Document F compliant
- Solves loft condensation
Failing soffits restrict airflow into the loft, causing condensation, damp insulation and mould on bedroom ceilings. New vented soffits or over-fascia strips restore the airflow to current building regulations.
Ventilation options
- Vented soffit boards for continuous intake along the eaves
- Over-fascia ventilation strips, invisible from below
- Meets the 10mm continuous airflow requirement at the eaves
- Cold flat-roof construction handled with the 25mm equivalent
-
Bargeboard Replacement
- Box-end detailing included
- Colour-matched
Bargeboards sit on the gable ends and take the brunt of wind-driven rain, so they often fail before the fascias do. We replace rotten timber with new uPVC bargeboards in matching colour.
Scope
- Strip-out of failed timber bargeboards on the gable ends
- Timber repair where rafter ends or barge plate are affected
- New uPVC bargeboards matched to your fascia colour
- Box-end detailing where bargeboards meet fascias at corners
-
Rotten Timber Repair & Carpentry
- Surveyed on every job
- Carpentry included, not extra
Behind every rotten fascia is timber that needs checking. We strip back to bare wood and carry out any rafter-end repairs before fitting new uPVC. Capping over rotten timber just hides damage that only gets worse.
What we check and repair
- Rafter end rot from long-term water ingress
- Wall plate condition where the rafters bear
- Soffit noggins and timber framing behind the eaves
- Preservative treatment on any salvageable timber
-
Fascia & Soffit Repair
- Often a 1-day job
- No scaffolding on single elevations
- Honest assessment
Not every job needs a full replacement. Where damage is limited to one section, one elevation, or a single storm-cracked board, we will quote a repair rather than push you toward the bigger job. Where a full replacement is genuinely more economical over the next five to ten years, we will explain why and quote that instead. We will not stretch a repair into a replacement just because scaffolding is already on site.
Green or algae staining on uPVC fascias often points to an untreated roof above, shedding debris and moisture. If that is the case, a roof cleaning with biocide treatment stops the source and protects your fascia from further discolouration and decay.
Repair scenarios we handle
- Single damaged or rotten board on an otherwise sound roofline
- Storm or impact damage to one elevation
- Localised rot from an overflowing gutter that has been replaced
- Single-elevation refresh on a roofline that has 5+ years left in it
-
Gutter Replacement or Repair at the Same Time
- Shared scaffolding cost
- New install or repair
Taking the old gutter off the existing fascia almost always damages it. Brackets pop out of soft timber, joints split when they are flexed, and a gutter that has been hung on rotten boards rarely refits cleanly to a fresh roofline. For most properties it works out cheaper to fit new uPVC guttering at the same time than to scaffold the house a second time when the old run starts to leak a few months later.
Where the existing guttering is recent and sound, we can repair what is needed and refit it onto the new boards instead of replacing it. We will tell you which option makes sense on survey, in writing, before any work starts.
Gutter profiles we install
- Half-round, the traditional residential profile
- Ogee, decorative front face with higher capacity
- Square, suited to modern extensions and commercial roofs
- Deepflow high-capacity for properties prone to overflow

How Much Does Fascia and Soffit Replacement Cost in Stockport?
Most fascia and soffit jobs we quote in Stockport and East Cheshire land between £1,500 and £3,500. Every price we give includes the strip-out, timber repairs, new uPVC boards, eaves ventilation and waste removal. The only things we charge separately for are listed at the bottom of this section.
What affects the price
-
Linear metreage of roofline The total length of fascia, soffit and bargeboard around the property. A terrace front-and-back is the smallest job, a four-sided detached with bargeboards is the largest.
-
Material and finish choice Standard white uPVC is the most economical. Anthracite grey, black and woodgrain finishes (light oak, rosewood, Irish oak) carry a manufacturer premium of around 15 to 20 per cent.
-
Scaffolding or access platform Two-storey properties almost always need scaffolding. Bungalows and single-storey jobs can usually be reached from a narrow-access platform, which is faster and cheaper.
-
Condition of the timber underneath Light timber repairs to rafter ends are included in every quote. Major carpentry such as replacing a section of wall plate or rebuilding a box-end is itemised separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
-
Bargeboards and gable ends Bargeboards add linear metreage on the gable elevations. A semi-detached with one gable end carries less bargeboard than a detached with two.
-
New guttering at the same time Most jobs include new uPVC guttering. Standard half-round adds the least, deepflow high-capacity adds the most. Doing it now saves scaffolding the property twice.
| Property type | Fitted price (white uPVC) | Typical timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Terrace (front and back only) | £1,500 – £2,000 | 1–2 days |
| Semi-detached (front and back) | £1,800 – £2,400 | 1–2 days |
| Semi-detached (three sides) | £2,600 – £3,000 | 2–3 days |
| Detached (four sides) | £3,200 – £4,000 | 2–3 days |
| Bungalow | £2,000 – £4,000 | 2–3 days |
Indicative ranges only. Final price depends on linear metreage, access, condition of existing timber and finish choice. Coloured and woodgrain finishes add roughly 15 to 20 per cent, see the per-metre rates below. Larger or unusual properties priced individually.
Per linear metre rate
| Finish | Rate per linear metre | What it includes |
|---|---|---|
| White uPVC | £135 – £155 | Strip-out, fascia, soffit, fixings, ventilation |
| Coloured uPVC | £150 – £175 | As above, anthracite grey or black finish |
| Woodgrain uPVC | £160 – £185 | As above, light oak, rosewood or Irish oak |
Per-metre rates assume standard two-storey scaffold access and sound timber underneath. Bargeboards, new guttering and timber repairs add to the total separately.

Adlington uPVC Fascia, Soffit & Guttering Replacement: Before & After
A recent roofline replacement in Adlington, from rotten timber fascias and corroded cast iron guttering through to a full uPVC roofline in black with new guttering and downpipes. We stripped every board back to sound timber before fitting, the same approach we take on every job across Stockport and East Cheshire.
-
Before: a rotted timber fascia and a corroded cast iron downpipe. Once the paint fails, water tracks in behind the boards and the old cast iron rusts through at the joints. -
Before: the wider roofline, paint blistered and flaking along tired timber boards, with the old cast iron guttering ready to come down. -
Stripped back to sound, fresh timber. We never cap over rot, so the old boards and cast iron guttering come off and the carpentry underneath is checked and repaired first. -
Finished: new black uPVC fascia and soffit, with fresh half-round guttering and a downpipe replacing the old cast iron run. -
Finished: the completed roofline in black uPVC. New fascia, soffit, guttering and downpipes throughout, with no painting and no rot for the next 20 to 25 years.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a fascia, a soffit and a bargeboard?
The fascia is the long horizontal board that runs along the lower edge of the roof, where the guttering is fixed. The soffit is the panel underneath, closing the gap between the wall and the underside of the eaves. The bargeboard runs along the gable ends, finishing the edge where the roof meets the wall. Together they form what is often called the roofline.
How long do uPVC fascias and soffits last?
BBA-approved uPVC fascias and soffits last 20 to 25 years with almost no maintenance beyond an occasional wipe down. The boards we fit carry a manufacturer guarantee against discolouration, warping and cracking, and we add our own insurance-backed workmanship guarantee on top of that. For comparison, painted timber typically needs repainting every five to seven years and starts to fail properly at around 15 to 20 years even when well maintained, far sooner if not. uPVC has become the standard material across the industry because it does the job without the ongoing upkeep.
How long does fascia and soffit replacement take?
Should I replace my guttering at the same time as the fascias?
Usually, yes. Gutter brackets fix into the fascia board, so the guttering has to come down before the old boards can come off. Refitting tired gutters to a fresh roofline means scaffolding the property again when they fail, and doing the job twice always costs more than doing it once. A typical combined job replaces the fascias, soffits, guttering and downpipes together on one scaffold, in the same one to three days. If your existing guttering is recent and sound, we will say so on survey and refit it to the new boards rather than charge you for a replacement you do not need.
Should I repair my fascias and soffits, or replace them?
When does fascia repair make sense rather than full replacement?
What happens if you find more damage once a board is removed?
Fascias and Soffits Across Stockport and East Cheshire
We carry out fascia, soffit and bargeboard replacement and repair across Stockport and East Cheshire. Every location below has its own dedicated page, click through for local detail on the work we typically carry out there.
Stockport Core
The town centre and inner suburbs, late-Victorian and Edwardian terraces where the original timber rooflines have been repainted and patched for a hundred years and now fail comprehensively. Old soffits on the post-war infill terraces around Edgeley and Reddish sometimes hide asbestos cement boards that need licensed removal. Most jobs here are full strip-and-replace in standard white uPVC.
South Stockport
The inter-war semi-detached and 1960s/70s detached estates running through Bramhall, Cheadle, Cheadle Hulme and Hazel Grove. The hipped roofs on the larger detached properties carry bargeboards on multiple gable ends that take the brunt of wind-driven rain and fail before the front fascias do. Anthracite grey and black uPVC are popular here for kerb appeal on the 1970s detached stock.
Marple & East
The stone-built villages east of Stockport, including the Marple Bridge and Compstall conservation areas. Original timber rooflines on period cottages and Victorian terraces, often with decorative bargeboard detailing that needs colour-matched replacement. Light oak and rosewood woodgrain uPVC are the typical finishes here, blending with the traditional stone aesthetic.
Poynton & East Cheshire
Premium properties across the East Cheshire commuter belt, inter-war and 1960s detached homes alongside the period stone of Bollington and Knutsford. Complex roof shapes with multiple hips, gables and bargeboards are common, and a good proportion of the work sits in listed buildings or conservation areas like Poynton Old Village. Anthracite grey, black and dark woodgrain finishes dominate the spec sheet here.
We also cover roofing right across East Cheshire, including roofers in Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, our Handforth page, roofing in Macclesfield, Bollington, roofers out in Adlington, Poynton, roofers in Disley and Knutsford.
