Fascia and soffit replacement across Brighton and East Sussex. Salt air degrades coastal rooflines faster than inland — rotten timber, yellowed uPVC and failing brackets are all common on Brighton properties. We replace or repair the full roofline, including guttering, in one visit.
Fascia and soffit replacement in Brighton uses coastal-grade uPVC, typically costing £600–£2,500 depending on property size and access. We inspect rafter ends, maintain roof ventilation, and can combine the work with new guttering. 25-year material guarantee plus 10-year workmanship. Call 01273 973 996 for a free survey.
The roofline is the first line of defence against water entry at the eaves. Salt air makes Brighton rooflines deteriorate faster — here's what we replace and repair.
Full replacement in white, woodgrain or anthracite uPVC. Coastal-grade uPVC specified — standard white yellows faster in high-UV coastal conditions. Includes removal and disposal. From £150/run.
Ventilated and non-ventilated soffit boards in uPVC or aluminium. Salt-damaged or rotten soffit boards allow water into the roof void. Replaced individually or as part of a full roofline package.
For period Brighton properties where maintaining timber is preferred or required. We cut out rotten sections, splice in treated timber, prime and paint. More cost-effective than full replacement when rot is localised.
Combined with fascia replacement for maximum efficiency — one scaffold visit, full new roofline. uPVC and cast iron guttering both supplied and fitted. Coastal salt-resistant brackets used.
Sloping boards at the gable end. Often missed until badly rotted. Replaced in uPVC or repainted in timber, matching the main fascia colour and profile.
Fascias, soffits, guttering and bargeboards in one visit. Single scaffold, single crew, complete weather seal. Most cost-effective approach. From £800 for a standard terrace.

Painted timber fascias — still common on the Victorian and Edwardian terraces of Hanover, Elm Grove and Kemp Town — absorb salt that deposits from sea air, driving moisture into the grain and accelerating rot far beyond what occurs inland. Many timber fascias on Brighton's Victorian stock last painted in the 1990s are now beyond surface treatment and require full replacement.
uPVC fascias have their own coastal vulnerability. The UV-stabilising agents in standard white uPVC degrade faster in coastal UV — Brighton receives some of the highest annual sunshine hours in the UK. The result is yellowing and brittleness on uPVC installed in the 1990s across Hollingbury and Moulsecoomb. Modern coastal-grade uPVC with enhanced UV stabilisers addresses this.
Full fascia and soffit replacement on 1980s-90s uPVC installations that have yellowed or cracked, timber fascia repair on Victorian terraces in Hanover and Preston Park, and combined fascia, soffit and guttering replacement on post-war estates where original materials have reached end of life.

"Full fascia, soffit and guttering on our 1970s semi in Hollingbury. Old uPVC was badly yellowed. New installation looks completely different — clean, bright and properly sealed."
"Victorian terrace in Elm Grove — timber fascias had been bodged with filler for years. Cut out all the rot, spliced in new treated timber, painted to match. Far better than uPVC replacement."
"Fascia, soffit and guttering all done together in one day. Efficient, tidy, exactly what was quoted. Significant difference to the house's appearance."
Every job follows the same clear process — no surprises, no hidden costs, full communication throughout.
We inspect all fascia boards, soffits, bargeboards and rafter feet. Rot assessment. Gutter fixing point condition. Quote for roofline only, or combined with guttering.
Access equipment erected. Pavement licence arranged where required for terrace properties in Brighton and Hove.
Old fascia and soffit removed. Rafter feet inspected. Any rot treated and repaired before new fascia is fixed.
Coastal-grade UV-stabilised uPVC fascia, soffit and bargeboard installed. All ventilation requirements maintained. New guttering fixed to new fascia where included.
All old material removed and disposed of. Site clean. 25-year manufacturer guarantee on uPVC plus 10-year workmanship guarantee on installation.
Roofline replacement is often deferred longer than any other maintenance on Brighton properties — with consequences for the structure behind the fascias. The city's housing diversity — from Regency seafront terraces to 1970s estate housing — means every roofline replacements requires specific local knowledge.
Brighton & Hove has over 30 conservation areas including Brunswick Town, Kemp Town, Hanover and the central Victorian streets. In these areas, fascia and soffit installation must use materials that match what is currently on the property. We advise on conservation area requirements and source matching materials for every affected job.
Brighton's Channel-facing position means salt air, coastal UV and the thermal cycling driven by sea temperature differentials all affect material performance. We specify materials appropriate to each property's specific coastal exposure — not one-size-fits-all inland specifications.
We cover all of Brighton, Hove and East Sussex. For emergency work, we aim to reach any Brighton property within 2-4 hours. For planned roofline replacements, we typically carry out a free survey within 48-72 hours of your call and provide a written quote the same day or within 24 hours of the survey.
Full roofline on a 3-bed terrace is £800–£1,400 including guttering. Front elevation only: £300–£600. Detached: £1,200–£2,500. Free survey and written quote.
It depends on the extent of rot. Surface or localised rot can be cut out and spliced — more cost-effective than full replacement and better for period properties. Widespread structural rot requires replacement. We assess each case.
Standard uPVC lasts 20–30 years inland. In Brighton's coastal UV, standard white uPVC can yellow and crack after 15–20 years. We specify coastal-grade uPVC with enhanced UV stabilisers.
We always recommend combining both — the old gutter clips are fixed to the old fascia, so gutters need rehinging regardless. One scaffold visit, one cost.
Full fascia, soffit and guttering survey at no charge. Written quote before any work starts.
