Fascia Board Repair Guide

Scope of Works

• Inspect existing fascias, soffits and gutter brackets to confirm decay, water ingress or fixing failure. • Remove or prop gutters, lift first course of tiles and cut out rotten timber or cracked UPVC sections. • Splice in treated timber or fit matching UPVC fascia board with stainless screws and hidden joiners. • Apply preservative and primer to any exposed timber ends; reseal felt support tray and drip edge. • Re‑fix gutters with new brackets set to correct fall; test water flow. • Clear debris from site and provide maintenance advice on repaint or cleaning schedule.

Typical Cost (inc. VAT)

Time on Site

2 – 4 hours for a single‑run splice or short UPVC replacement.

4 – 6 hours when gutters need full realignment, extra soffit repairs or paint curing time.

Time extends for double‑height gables, awkward conservatory roofs, hidden rot discovered under felt, or rain delays.

Questions to Ask Your Trade

1. Will you splice and preserve existing timber or replace the full board—and why?

2. Are replacement sections pre‑treated and sealed on all faces before installation?

3. Is scaffolding or a mobile tower included in the quote and does it meet HSE requirements?

4. Will you re‑level gutters and test water flow once the fascia is fixed?

5. What paint or UV‑stable UPVC guarantee do you provide against peeling or fade?

6. Do you supply a waste‑transfer note for disposal of old timber and plastic?

7. How soon after repair can the fascia be painted or pressure‑washed?

   
   

How to Avoid Surprises

• Reserve parking: Book driveway or kerb space for vans and scaffold drop-off.

• Clear access: Remove garden furniture and trim foliage under the eaves.

• Power supply: Confirm outdoor power availability for saws and nail guns.

• Paint details: Verify paint colour and gloss level if fascia will be re-finished that day.

• Neighbour notice: Inform neighbours if scaffold encroaches on boundary or pavement, and arrange permits early.
