Fascia & Soffits - Supplied & Fitted by Alfreton Based Proven Experts
Fascia & Soffits can truly enhance the aesthetics of your home, yet they also serve an essential and integral purpose. When correctly installed Fascia & Soffits allows ventilation into the roof space preventing damage such as damp and rot from occurring in the roof rafters.
They also act as a barrier from harsh weather conditions, protecting your roof from the elements which may otherwise cause damp and other damage. Additionally, Fascia & Soffits support the gutter system to correctly divert rainwater away from your home into the drainage system. Furthermore, they act as a preventative measure against unwanted visitors such as birds and squirrels who like to nest and take up residence in your roof space.
Whilst professionally installing a crucial element to your home, Pinnacle Fascia & Soffits can provide a variety of decorative styles, and colours to suit your tastes. Please contact us for further information.
Stages of Fascia & Soffits Installation
1
This first image shows an example of what not to do. At Pinnacle Fascia & Soffits we never cover over existing fascia & soffits due to the fact it will leave no ventilation which will later cause the material to sweat and eventually rot.
2
We remove all the old materials back to the roof rafters.
3
We then screw in non-decomposing uPVC choc blocks to the side of the roof rafters. This allows us to fix the fascia & soffits to a straight, solid structure.
4
The next stage is to fix the fascia & soffits to the straight, solid chocs with the required coloured nails and pins.
5
Following this we screw the gutter brackets to the fascia with the correct amount of fall and spacing to allow the rainwater to run to the drainage system.
6
Depending on the existing roof tiles we screw an over fascia vent or a 3 in 1 system (eaves, vent, bird guard) to the top of the fascia. The eaves slide under the felt as protection to prevent any water from infiltrating into the fascia & soffits. Instead allowing water to run onto the eaves tray and into the gutter. The vent allows ventilation into the roof space. And the bird guard prevents any unwanted visitors such a birds and squirrels.
7
Finally, we clean and seal the fascia, soffits and gutter and install the downpipe. Job done!
