Fascia & Soffit in Stratford-upon-Avon
Fascia, Soffit & Bargeboard Specialists
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.
What Happens When Fascias Fail
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.
Cost Guide — Fascia, Soffit & Bargeboards
| Job | Typical range | Notes |
|---|
| Capping over sound timber | £60–£90/m | Where fascia is structurally sound |
| uPVC fascia & soffit | £100–£150/m | Fitted, per linear metre |
| Full roofline (semi) | £1,500–£4,000 | Fascias, soffits and guttering |
| Full roofline (detached) | £3,000–£6,000+ | Larger perimeter, all elevations |
| Soffit ventilation upgrade | £200–£600 | Added at replacement |
What moves the price
- Whether the timber is capped or fully replaced
- The perimeter length and number of elevations
- uPVC colour and profile matching
- Access height and scaffold needs
Worked example: Capping the front fascia on a Bridgetown semi where the timber was sound, rather than replacing it, saved the owner roughly £900 against two other quotes.

Also Covered in Stratford
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.
AccessAccess, Scaffolding & Permits in Stratford
Roofline is reached from a tower or scaffold depending on height; anything above a single storey usually needs scaffold for safe standing. Scaffold is specified for: two-storey and above, or where the whole roofline is being renewed - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Victorian terraces off the Alcester Road and the Old Town lanes usually mean rear-access scaffold and permit-controlled pavement space, while the post-war Bishopton and Clopton estates give straightforward front access with room for a skip on the drive. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Stratford-on-Avon District Council; allow a few working days on streets like Sheep Street, Chapel Street, Church Street where space is tight.
