Fascias, What are They and What Do They Do? Fascias are the boards that line the edge of your property’s roof timbers. They support a good deal of weight, including the extra strain of rainy, windy, or snowy weather conditions. Consider, for example, that while it’s heavily raining.
The main role of your fascia is to: Protect the exposed ends of your rafters, reducing the risk of damp and rot.
Hold the bottom row of roof tiles in place.
Provide a solid base on which to fix guttering.
Soffits and How They Protect Your Home The soffit is the section that overhangs the roof. So, if you were to look up, the soffit is the board covering the roof on the overhang. Slightly less visible than the fascias, soffits are more protected from the full force of the weather. However, whether they’re protecting your rafters from small animals and insects nesting inside or preventing moisture from penetrating your home, soffits are an essential aspect of the roofline.
Guttering and Why it’s Important : The guttering of your home is what drains the rainwater from the roof of your property. The guttering runs right along the edge of the roof and is often connected to a downpipe that feeds the rainwater into a water butt or transports it into underground cavities called soakaways, where it drains slowly back into the soil.
UPVC guttering is always the best option when it comes to a fully-functioning roofline. You should ensure your gutters are regularly cleared of debris, bird nests, and leaves as this can block the efficient flow of water, causing blockages and water damage.
Your Roofline is Your First Defence Your fascia, soffit, and guttering all work hard to take care of your property. Together they act as a barrier between your roof an the elements, ensuring your home remains weatherproof and protected against the elements. If your roofline is not functioning properly, I rotting or damaged, or is just getting old, it won’t be protecting your home effectively.

Traditionally, roofline products were made from timber. However, despite the aesthetic benefits of this, timber requires regular maintenance and repainting throughout the year and are very susceptible to rot and decay. This can prevent your home from looking and performing at its best.
For this reason, many homeowners opt to replace timber with a durable, long-lasting, and low-maintenance alternative: UPVC. Available in a variety of styles and colours, not only do UPVC roofline products look fantastic, they also keep your home protected from the weather.
