Rotten fascia boards are more than just an eyesore—they can lead to expensive roof repairs if left untreated.

On this recent job in Worcester, we found extensive timber rot behind the guttering. Years of exposure to the weather had caused the fascia board to deteriorate, allowing moisture to penetrate the timber. Left unchecked, this type of damage can spread into the roof structure and rafter ends, significantly increasing repair costs.

Our Recommendation

Rather than attempting a temporary repair, we recommended replacing the rotten fascia board with a durable, low-maintenance uPVC fascia. This provides long-lasting protection against the weather and gives the property a much cleaner appearance.We also inspect the rafter ends and guttering during the work to ensure there is no hidden structural damage.
