Soffits, Fascias & Guttering
Guttering, fascias and soffits play a vital role in protecting your home from water ingress and damage. Soffits and fascias help to bridge the gap between your roofing timber and the wall of the property, as well as to support the guttering. At Wilson Park Homes Ltd, we can install or repair any guttering, fascias or soffits on park homes in the UK.
Before looking at whether you need any new guttering, soffits or fascias, it is important that you understand the differences between them and the roles that they have in the maintenance of your home.
Fascias in the UK
The fascia is the board that runs parallel to the building. It is attached to the property by the soffit, and the guttering is then attached to the fascia. Supporting the guttering is no easy task; during times of heavy downfall, several gallons of rainwater can pass through your guttering in a matter of seconds.
Your fascia will also join the wall to the roofline, and will further help support the lower roofing tiles. By joining the wall to the roofline, fascias (and soffits) also stop birds, bats and other pests from entering your home. They also stop water from penetrating the space between your roof and walls, helping to avoid any structural damage caused by dampness.
Soffits in the UK
Joined to the fascia, your soffit is tucked underneath and is the board that you can see when you are standing directly below the guttering. The soffit will usually have little air slits in for ventilation. Along with your fascia, the soffit will help to cover your rafter beams and to support some of your roof structure. It is also far more visually appealing than wooden rafters, and it is becoming more and more common for households to go the extra mile with soffit design and patterns.
However, perhaps the most important role of the soffit is providing ventilation to your roof space, without allowing water to enter the property. The gaps on the underside of the soffit allow this to occur, and it is vital in cycling out the unwanted heat and moisture in your home.
PVCu Fascias and Soffits
Wilson Park Homes Ltd only supply a top quality PVCu fascia and soffit. White is the most popular colour however there is a variety of colours available. PVCu fascias and soffits are designed as a low-maintenance and cost-effective solution when replacing the old wooden ones.
Guttering in the UK
The guttering on your property is responsible for draining any rainwater away from your roof and other parts of your home. Without proper guttering, water can seep into different parts of your home including windows, doors, roofing and foundations, causing significant damage.
In order to keep your fascias and soffits healthy, it is imperative that you make sure that the guttering is clear! A blocked gutter causes water to pool, and the first area of your home to be damaged by this is the fascia board. If this happens, then you could end up with a weak roof structure, costing you more money in the long run.
