UPVC and timber fascia and soffit replacement. Covering all SO30 postcodes. Free quotes.
Tell us the job in 30 seconds. No pushy sales, no call-out fee.
Hedge End's predominantly 1980s housing stock has UPVC fascia and soffits that are now 35 to 40 years old — the age at which UPVC begins to yellow and crack. The brittleness develops gradually, making brackets pull out and sections crack rather than flex in cold weather. We replace the full run on Hedge End detacheds and semis — fascia, soffit and guttering in a single visit — in matching quality UPVC.

Request Free QuoteThe fascia boards across Hedge End's 1980s to 1990s detacheds and semis on Wildern, Tollbar Way and Charles Watts Way 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 elevated suburban position south-east of Southampton, 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 Hedge End 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 Hedge End and do not impose a standard solution on buildings where it would look inappropriate.

In Hedge End, 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.

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. Hedge End sits inland east of Southampton, sharing the region’s humid, south-westerly-driven weather with slightly less salt.
