When changing the fascias and soffits, it is also a good idea to replace the guttering and downpipes as well with a matching colour. Over time, guttering tends to weather and colours fade, so when the fascias and soffits are being replaced, why not go all the way and replace the guttering as well? You will be pleased with the finished result. Guttering is just as important as your fascias and soffits. They prevent water ingress into the fabric of your home and property by channelling rainwater away from the exterior walls and foundations. Water running down walls can cause dampness and can lead to the growth of mould and wet rot in timber. Another thing to look out for is age old degradation. Older, iron-made style of gutters are prone to this and need to be replaced by new, aluminium or rust proof ones. At Famous Roofing, all of our workmen are experienced in the repair and replacement of guttering therefore if you are encountering a problem with yours we will assess its needs and provide an efficient solution.
Probably one of the least liked home maintenance jobs is painting the woodwork (called fascias & soffits) around the base of the roof, particularly as it involves working at height on a ladder. Help is at hand however. Remove this dangerous task forever by getting our workers at Famous Roofing to replace the wooden fascias and soffits with long life plastic ones. Fascias and soffits are a very important component of your roof and property. Without them your roof and guttering would not be able to function in conjunction with one another. The fascia board is mounted at the point where the roof meets the outer walls of the house. This section of the property is sometimes called the roofline but is in fact most often referred to as the fascia or fascias after the main board which carries the gutter.
