UPVC and timber fascia and soffit replacement. Covering all SO50 postcodes. Free quotes.
Tell us the job in 30 seconds. No pushy sales, no call-out fee.
Eastleigh's Victorian terraces in the town centre have original timber fascias now well over 100 years old — most have been painted repeatedly but softwood fascia boards that old are typically at end of life. The 1950s and 1960s semis in Bishopstoke and Fair Oak have painted softwood that is 60 to 70 years old. The 1980s properties on the outer estates have UPVC now 35 to 40 years old and becoming brittle. We replace fascia and soffits across the full range of Eastleigh's housing stock in appropriate materials for each era.

Request Free QuoteThe fascia boards across Eastleigh's Victorian terraces near Eastleigh Station and 1950s to 1980s semis in Bishopstoke and Fair Oak are at varying stages of their service life. On the oldest properties, original timber has been repainted repeatedly but softwood fascias that old are typically at or past end of life — soft to pressure, cracked along the grain, or showing paint that has been applied over deteriorated wood. On the estate housing, UPVC systems from the 1980s are now 35 to 40 years old and becoming brittle.
When fascia boards fail, guttering detaches — often pulling screws through deteriorated wood. In Itchen valley humidity from Bishopstoke, water from overflowing gutters saturates the wall face and the structural timber behind the fascia. Persistent saturation rots rafter ends and can lead to structural deterioration that costs significantly more to address than timely fascia replacement. The fascia is a relatively modest cost component of a roofline — addressing it before failure is always the cheaper option.
UPVC is the standard replacement for most Eastleigh properties — no maintenance, 25 to 35 year service life, available in white, black and brown. For period properties where white UPVC would look wrong, cellular UPVC in timber profile maintains the character of the building at a modest premium. We advise on the correct specification for each property type in Eastleigh and do not impose a standard solution on buildings where it would look inappropriate.

In Eastleigh, the roofline usually fails before the covering does — rotten fascias and tired soffits let water and pests into the eaves.
When it is not the answer: Where the timber behind is genuinely sound, capping over it is cheaper than full replacement — but capping over rotten wood traps the decay, and we will not do it Read the full guide.
We come out, go up on the roof and into the loft, and trace the fault to its real cause on your Eastleigh property before quoting a penny.
Your quote is itemised and plain — access and scaffold priced as separate lines — so you can see exactly what you are paying for. No obligation.
We agree a time that suits you, and we attend the same day for genuine Eastleigh emergencies.
We strip the old roofline, replace rotten timber, fit new fascia and vented soffit, and re-hang the guttering to the correct fall.
Everything is cleared away, we walk you through the finished job, and you get the written guarantee.
| Job | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| Capping over sound timber — semi | Half to 1 day |
| Full fascia + soffit — semi | 1 day |
| Full roofline — detached | 1.5–2 days |
| Soffit ventilation upgrade | 1–2 hours |
On Eastleigh jobs we allow for the weather off the coast; any opened-up area is made watertight before we leave each day.
Fascia and soffit work runs from scaffold or towers along the eaves, itemised in the quote; two-storey runs need a modest scaffold. Scaffold is specified for: two-storey eaves and full roofline runs needing safe standing time - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Eastleigh’s railway-era terraces around the town centre have tight rear access, so scaffold and skip permits go through Eastleigh Borough Council. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Eastleigh Borough Council; allow a few working days on streets like Leigh Road, Market Street, the streets around Eastleigh station where space is tight.

“Building Regulations Approved Document F requires adequate roof-void ventilation — replacing soffits is the ideal moment to add the airflow older Southampton roofs were built without.”— Building Regulations Approved Document F
External, low-disruption work — some drilling noise and offcuts in a skip — with no need to be home. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
Roofline work runs year-round; only sustained high winds stop work at the eaves. Eastleigh sits inland of Southampton Water with slightly less salt exposure but the same south-westerly rain-bearing winds.
Full UPVC fascia and soffit replacement on a 3-bed semi in Eastleigh: £800 to £1,600. Detacheds: £1,000 to £2,200. Free no-obligation quotes on all fascia and soffit work.
Yes. We work across all of SO50 including Eastleigh and surrounding areas.
Yes, in most cases. Fitting new guttering to rotten fascia is a false economy — the guttering will fail when the board deteriorates further. We typically replace fascia, soffit and guttering as a combined job.
A standard 3-bed property in Eastleigh typically takes one day. Larger detacheds may take one to two days. We confirm timing in the quote.
