Non-intrusive roof surveys

Roofline replacement in UPVC or timber, with ventilation considered.

Symptoms & warning signs

  • Timber fascia boards that are soft, splitting, flaking or visibly rotten
  • Peeling paint that returns within a year of redecoration
  • Guttering sagging because the board behind it no longer holds the brackets
  • Birds, wasps or squirrels getting into the roof space through gaps at the eaves
  • Staining or green growth across the soffit
  • Condensation in the loft where eaves ventilation has been blocked or never provided

Inspection & diagnosis

Every quote begins with an inspection. Where a roof is inaccessible, complex or storm-damaged, we can carry out a drone inspection to capture imagery and annotated findings before recommending works.

Freshly installed white uPVC fascias, soffits and black seamless guttering along the eaves of a British home.

Typical scope of work

  • Removal of existing fascia, soffit and bargeboards, and inspection of the rafter feet
  • Repair or replacement of decayed rafter ends and wall plate where found
  • New uPVC or timber fascia, soffit and bargeboards fitted to the property style
  • Over-fascia or soffit ventilation to provide correct airflow into the roof space
  • Eaves protection tray fitted to carry water from the felt into the gutter
  • New guttering and downpipes fitted at the same time where these are also due
  • Removal and responsible disposal of all old materials

Timescale

A typical semi-detached or detached house is completed in two to four days depending on the run length, number of elevations, access and how much timber repair is found once the old boards are off.

Guarantee & aftercare

Roofline work carries our written workmanship guarantee, with manufacturer warranties for uPVC products passed on to you. uPVC roofline needs no painting — an occasional wash down is all the aftercare required.

Project evidence

Every job is photographed before, during and after the work, so you can see what was found, what was done and what it looks like finished — including the parts of the roof you cannot see from the ground. Those photographs are shared with you and, with permission, may be used as a case study.

Before roof cleaning: a UK tiled roof heavily covered in moss with blocked, debris-filled guttering and stained fascia boards.
After roof cleaning: the same roof with moss removed from the tiles, guttering cleared and running freely, and fascias and soffits washed down.
