Fascia and Soffit Replacement in Dartford
Fascia and soffit replacement in Dartford for rotten timber and tired boards. The fascia carries your guttering and the soffit closes off the roof edge, so when either goes, the gutter and the roof space suffer next.

What the fascia and soffit actually do
The fascia is the board along the roof edge that the gutter screws to. The soffit is the panel underneath, closing the gap between the wall and the roof edge. Together they keep weather and wildlife out of the roof space and give the gutter something solid to fix to.
More Information
Checking the rafter feet underneath
When a fascia has been wet for years, the ends of the rafters behind it are often soft too. Covering over that with new board just hides the problem. We check the timber once the old board is off and cut out and replace anything that has gone.
Keeping the roof space ventilated
Soffits usually carry the vents that let air into the loft. Replacing them with solid board can cause condensation in the roof space. We fit vented soffit or add eaves vents so air keeps moving through, which keeps the timbers dry.
About us
Fascias and soffits are usually replaced at the same time as guttering, since the gutter has to come off anyway. Heritage Roofing and Renovations has fitted new fascias and soffits across Dartford and Kent for more than 10 years. We check the timber behind before quoting and clear the old boards from site when the job is done.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my fascias need replacing?
Flaking paint, soft or crumbling timber, and gutter brackets pulling loose are the usual signs. Green staining and sagging along the run point the same way. If you can push a screwdriver into the board with little effort, the timber has gone and needs replacing.
How long does fascia and soffit replacement take in Dartford?
A typical semi-detached house takes two to three days including new guttering. Bungalows are often quicker. If rafter ends need cutting out and replacing, allow extra time, as that work has to be done before the new boards can be fitted.
Can you cap over existing fascias instead of replacing them?
Capping over means fixing a thin plastic sheet across the old timber. It looks acceptable at first, but it traps moisture against wood that is already failing and the fixings loosen. Full replacement costs a little more and lasts far longer, so we recommend it.
