UPVC and timber fascia, soffit and bargeboard replacement. Free quotes. Covering all PO12 postcodes including Gosport, Lee-on-the-Solent, Alverstoke.
Gosport is a peninsula town with the Solent on three sides — its housing has the most severe maritime exposure of any area we cover. Victorian naval housing near the waterfront and dockyard area, 1930s to 1950s semis in Alverstoke and Bridgemary, and large post-war estates at Rowner and Bridgemary built in the 1960s and 1970s. Lee-on-the-Solent has a distinct character with 1920s to 1950s coastal housing.
Our fascia & soffits service covers all of PO12 — free surveys, honest assessments and no call-out fees. Call 0238 184 9628 for same-week availability across Gosport.

Request Free QuoteThe fascia boards and soffits on Gosport's Victorian naval housing near the waterfront, 1930s to 1950s Alverstoke semis, 1960s to 1970s Rowner and Bridgemary estates properties span a wide range of conditions. On the oldest properties, original timber fascias are typically at or past end of life after decades of weathering — soft when pressed, cracked along the grain, or showing paint that has been applied over rotten wood rather than sound timber. On the estate housing, original UPVC from the 1980s is now 35 to 40 years old across much of Gosport — yellowing, becoming brittle and prone to cracking rather than flexing.
When fascia boards fail, guttering detaches — often pulling screws through deteriorated wood rather than releasing cleanly. Water then runs down the outside of the wall rather than into the gutter. In Gosport's above-average rainfall, this quickly saturates the wall face and the timber behind the fascia. Persistent saturation rots the rafter ends and can lead to structural deterioration that costs significantly more to repair than fascia replacement would have. Early action is always cheaper.
For most Gosport estate housing, standard white UPVC half-round fascia and soffit is the correct and most cost-effective choice. For older Victorian and Edwardian properties where white UPVC would look wrong, we use cellular UPVC in timber profile or recommend aluminium in an appropriate painted finish. We do not impose a standard UPVC specification on properties where the building character demands something different.
"Original 1970s timber fascias had rotted at the ends on our Gosport property. Full UPVC replacement including guttering in one day. Clean, well-finished job."
"1980s UPVC had gone yellow and cracked along two sections. Replaced in matching white UPVC. You can't tell where the new sections are. Efficient and tidy."
"Victorian terrace — they used cellular UPVC in timber profile rather than flat white. Shows proper attention to the character of the building."
The fascia boards across Gosport's Victorian naval housing near the waterfront, 1930s Alverstoke semis, 1960s to 1970s Rowner and Bridgemary estates 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 full Solent exposure — highest salt air concentration in our coverage area, 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 Gosport 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 Gosport and do not impose a standard solution on buildings where it would look inappropriate.

Full UPVC fascia and soffit replacement on a 3-bed semi in Gosport: £800 to £1,600. Detached: £1,000 to £2,200. Combined with guttering: £1,200 to £3,000. Free quotes on all fascia and soffit work.
Yes, in most cases. New guttering on failing fascia is a false economy — when the fascia deteriorates further the guttering will need refitting anyway. Doing both together saves on access costs and ensures the guttering is correctly supported.
A standard 3-bed property in Gosport takes one day. Larger detacheds or properties with complex rooflines may take one to two days. We confirm timing in the quote.
