Fascia replacement Wilmslow: 3-bed semi £1,200–£2,500 · bargeboard replacement from £300. Free survey and written quote.
Full fascia replacement in UPVC. We remove the existing guttering, strip back the old timber to the rafter feet, and fit correctly. No capping over rotten timber — that is a five-year fix, not a permanent one.

Get a quote →Verge bargeboards replaced in UPVC on gable ends. Wilmslow's 1930s properties commonly have decorative timber bargeboards that have failed — UPVC replacements in matching profile eliminate future maintenance.
Get a quote →Guttering is removed to fit new fascia and replaced in the same visit. We quote fascia, soffit and new guttering as a combined package — rarely worth fitting new guttering to rotten fascia, or old guttering to new fascia.
Get a quote →Square-edge UPVC fascia looks wrong on Victorian and Edwardian properties. We stock ogee, ovolo and pencil-round profiles that replicate the original timber detail in low-maintenance UPVC.
Get a quote →We inspect fascia boards behind the guttering as part of every guttering and roof survey. Many Wilmslow homeowners are unaware their fascia boards have failed because the deterioration is hidden from ground level.

"Full fascia, soffit and guttering replacement on a 1935 detached in Wilmslow. They used ogee-profile UPVC to match the original timber detail. Looks completely right for the age of the property."
"Had rotten fascia boards that were causing the gutters to pull away from the wall. New UPVC throughout, new aluminium guttering. The house looks sharper and no more gutter problems."
"Quick, clean job. They capped over the existing timber with UPVC, cleared and re-ran all gutters. Done in one day on a 3-bed semi. Reasonable price, no mess left."
Full fascia and soffit replacement on a 3-bed semi in Wilmslow typically costs £1,200–£2,500 depending on property size, access and whether bargeboards are included. Individual sections are quoted separately. Free survey and written quote on all work.
Wilmslow's Victorian and Edwardian properties typically had ogee or moulded timber fascias. We fit period-profile UPVC that replicates the original detail without the maintenance burden — the standard square-edge UPVC fascia looks wrong on a period property.
Yes, in almost all cases. Removing the guttering is required to fit new fascia boards, and refitting old guttering to a new fascia wastes most of the labour saving. We quote fascia, soffit and guttering as a combined package.
Sagging gutters, gutters that overflow despite being clear, and visible paint peeling or soft spots at the rafter feet are the main indicators. Many Wilmslow properties have rotten fascia hidden behind guttering that looks intact from the ground.
Quality UPVC fascia has a 20-30 year design life. Cheaper-grade UPVC can fade and become brittle in 10-15 years, particularly on south-facing elevations. We specify only commercial-grade UPVC.
No. Fascia and soffit replacement is standard maintenance and does not require lender notification. Conservation area properties should use period-profile materials, but no prior approval is needed for like-for-like replacement.
Yes. Rotten fascia allows water to track along rafter feet causing rafter-end decay — significantly more expensive than the fascia replacement itself. Pests also exploit the gaps. Early replacement is always cheaper than late.
We provide dedicated fascia soffits services across these nearby towns and villages.
Fascia and soffit replacement on Wilmslow properties is driven primarily by two failure modes: timber rot on properties where guttering has been leaking for extended periods, saturating the fascia board behind; and general deterioration of 1980s–90s UPVC that has become brittle and discoloured beyond repainting. Both require replacement rather than repair — there is no cost-effective way to restore structurally compromised timber or yellowed UPVC.
Wilmslow's 1930s detached stock presents a specific fascia challenge. Many of these properties have wide overhangs with deep exposed rafter feet and large soffit panels — a design feature of the inter-war period. Standard 200mm UPVC fascia is not the right specification for these properties — a wider board matching the original dimension is correct. We measure existing fascia dimensions and specify UPVC in the correct profile rather than using standard stock widths.
Victorian and Edwardian properties in Wilmslow with original timber fascia boards — typically 200–225mm wide — need particular care. Where the original fascia is sound, repainting is the most sympathetic approach. Where timber replacement is necessary, UPVC in a period-appropriate profile is acceptable in most circumstances and is the practical choice for longevity.
Replacing fascia and soffits without installing adequate ventilation is the single most common installation error on Wilmslow properties. Original open-eaves construction on 1930s and Victorian properties provides natural ventilation to the roof void. Solid UPVC soffit panels installed without ventilator units or ventilated soffit panels block this airflow completely — within 5–10 years, condensation builds in the roof void and begins to decay the rafter ends and sarking boards from inside. We install ventilated soffit panels or add discrete ventilator units on every Wilmslow installation where existing ventilation must be preserved.
