Fascia, soffit and bargeboard replacement across Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwickshire. uPVC and timber options — conservation profiles available for Old Town and listed properties. Free quotes, no call-out fees.
Fascia and soffit replacement is one of the most neglected maintenance jobs on Stratford properties until it becomes urgent. Rotting timber fascias on Victorian and Edwardian properties along Shipston Road and Evesham Road eventually allow water to track behind the guttering and into the wall plate, causing structural dampness that is far more expensive to fix than the original fascia replacement would have been. On post-war estates in Bridgetown and Clopton, original uPVC from the 1980s and 1990s has become brittle, discoloured and prone to cracking, particularly on south-facing elevations that receive direct UV exposure year-round.
We carry standard uPVC fascia and soffit profiles in white and a range of woodgrain finishes. For properties in Stratford’s conservation area or for listed buildings where uPVC is not appropriate, we can supply and fit ogee or square-edge timber profiles in treated hardwood, painted to match or complement the original. For most residential properties a standard uPVC installation takes one to two days and the difference in appearance — and in long-term maintenance obligation — is immediately obvious.
Rotting timber fascias are the most common cause of avoidable roof edge dampness we encounter in Stratford. The sequence is predictable: the paint coat cracks, typically on the north side of the property first; water sits behind the gutter joint; the timber swells and softens; the gutter brackets lose their grip; the gutter pulls away from the fascia and water runs directly against the wall face. By the time the gutter visibly drops, the timber behind it is often substantially rotted. Early intervention is always cheaper.

Dependent on perimeter length and roofline complexity.
Section replacement or re-fixing where the rest of the run is sound.
We typically quote fascia and soffit replacement alongside guttering as the work overlaps almost completely. Replacing all three in one visit is more economical than separate call-outs and ensures the finished result is consistent. We always remove and re-site any existing TV aerials, satellite dishes or telephone cables routed along the roofline, and replace them correctly as part of the job.
Free quotes — no call-out fees — honest advice.
“Fascia and soffit on the 1930s semi had been patched three times. They replaced the full run in uPVC with new guttering in one day. The house looks ten years younger from the street and we have no more gutter problems.”
“Old Town Victorian terrace needed timber fascia replacement — conservation area meant uPVC was not appropriate. They sourced the right profile, primed and painted it correctly and the result matches the original perfectly.”
“Noticed the north fascia rotting behind the gutter when I was up cleaning the windows. They replaced just the damaged run plus new guttering on that side for a very reasonable price. No pressure to do the whole house.”
Full fascia, soffit and bargeboard replacement on a standard three-bed semi in Stratford typically costs £600 to £1,400, including new guttering installation. Larger detached properties or those with complex rooflines cost more. We provide fully itemised free quotes for all fascia and soffit work.
The fascia is the vertical board running along the roof edge that carries the guttering. The soffit is the horizontal board under the roof overhang, between the fascia and the wall. The bargeboard runs along the gable end of the roof at an angle. All three are typically replaced together as they are often the same age and condition, and replacing one in isolation rarely makes sense.
Yes. Victorian and Edwardian properties in Stratford, particularly on Shipston Road, Evesham Road and in the Old Town area, often retain original painted timber fascias. These can be repaired if the timber is sound, or replaced with uPVC. For conservation area properties, uPVC is sometimes not appropriate and a timber replacement with correct profile may be required. We advise on this in every survey.
Technically yes, but we rarely recommend it. The fascia carries the gutter bracket fixings, so replacing the fascia means the guttering has to come off anyway. Refitting the original guttering onto new fascia works if the guttering is in good condition, but most customers choose to renew the guttering at the same time given the labour overlap. We always quote both scenarios so you can make an informed decision.
