Fascia, soffit and bargeboard replacement done properly. We strip back to joists, repair what's underneath, then fit premium uPVC across Stockport, Cheadle Hulme, Bramhall, Marple and East Cheshire. Family-run with an insurance-backed guarantee.
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 Hulme, Bramhall, Marple, Hazel Grove and East Cheshire. A properly fitted uPVC roofline lasts 20 to 25 years with almost no maintenance.
We carry out every type of fascia, soffit and bargeboard work across Stockport, Cheadle Hulme, Bramhall, Marple, Hazel Grove and the wider East Cheshire area. From a single fascia repair through to a full uPVC roofline replacement with new guttering, every job comes with a free written quote and an insurance-backed guarantee.
Complete strip-and-replace of every fascia, soffit and bargeboard in a single visit, with new guttering fitted at the same time so the property only needs scaffolding once.
What's included
New uPVC fascias and soffits to replace tired or rotten timber across Stockport and East Cheshire. BBA-approved, with an insurance-backed guarantee against discolouration, warping and cracking.
Finish options
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
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
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
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.
Repair scenarios we handle
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
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.
| 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.
| 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.

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.
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.
Most jobs are completed in one to three working days from start to finish. A semi-detached front-and-back takes one to two days, a detached property with all four elevations and new guttering takes two to three days, and a bungalow is usually a single day. Scaffolding is normally erected the day before work starts and dismantled the day after work finishes, so the total time equipment is on the property is closer to four to five days for a typical job. Light rain does not stop us fitting the boards, but heavy weather can add a day in the wetter months.
In most cases yes. The fascia is what your guttering hangs off, so existing gutters have to come down to replace the fascia behind them. Putting old gutters back on a new fascia means scaffolding the property again the next time they fail, which is the single most expensive part of any roofline job. If your existing gutters are more than 15 years old, sagging, leaking at joints, or cast iron, fitting new uPVC guttering at the same time costs less than scaffolding the property twice. If the existing gutters are recent and sound, we can re-fit them once the new fascia is in place and tell you exactly that on survey. See our uPVC guttering service for the profiles and systems we install.
The rule of thumb is straightforward. If damage is on one elevation only and the rest of the boards have life left in them, a targeted repair makes economic sense. If two or more elevations are showing the same problems, paint failure, rot, sagging gutters, the roofline is at the end of its life and patching one section at a time means scaffolding the property again every few years as the next section fails. Over a five-year period, three separate repairs usually cost more than a single full roofline replacement. We will come out and inspect for free, and tell you straight which option works out better for your property over the next five to ten years. We will not push you toward the bigger job just because the truck and scaffolding are already on site.
Fascia repair is the right call when damage is localised to one section or one elevation, and the rest of the boards are sound. The most common scenarios we repair rather than replace are a single rotten board where a gutter has overflowed for years, storm or impact damage to one panel, a length of timber that has rotted from a previously fixed water ingress problem, or a damaged bargeboard on a roofline that is otherwise in good condition. Most repair jobs are completed in a single day, often without full scaffolding, and we colour-match the new uPVC section to the existing boards so the repair blends in rather than standing out.
It happens regularly. Once we strip a fascia back, we sometimes find rafter ends, soffit noggins or sections of wall plate in worse condition than was visible from the ground. When that happens, we stop, show you what we have found in person, and re-quote in writing before doing any further work. You decide whether to proceed with the additional rafter-end carpentry or to leave it for now. We never add costs to the final invoice that were not agreed in writing first, and we never carry on regardless and present a larger bill on completion.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
