Fascias, soffits and bargeboards on Hollingbury properties face UV and salt exposure that degrades standard uPVC faster than inland equivalents. We install coastal-grade roofline systems with a 10-year guarantee.
Ridge mortar failure from frost cycling. Roofline replacement in Hollingbury is almost always combined with guttering replacement — the two systems are connected and replacing both at the same time saves on access and labour costs. 1950s-70s estate housing, concrete interlocking tile 50-70 years old
Peeling paint on timber fascias; visible rot at the ends or along the bottom edge; guttering pulling away from the fascia fixing points; discolouration or chalking on uPVC fascias (UV degradation); water staining on the eaves below the fascia line. Any of these warrant an inspection before the problem reaches the rafters.
Fascias carry the guttering load and seal the rafter ends. Rotted fascias allow water to track back into the rafter feet — one of the most expensive secondary roof problems to fix. Replacing rotted fascias before the rafters are affected is significantly cheaper than waiting. We always check rafter foot condition during fascia replacement.
Elevated 80-100m, more frost days than coastal Brighton, accelerated mortar and nail decay Standard uPVC fascias yellow and become brittle 5-8 years faster in coastal East Sussex conditions than equivalent inland installations. We specify UV-stabilised coastal-grade uPVC as standard for all Hollingbury properties — the same product, longer lifespan.

“Timber fascias had been rotting for years. uPVC installed in a day, guttering replaced at the same time. No more painting, no more rot, and the gutters are properly fixed for the first time in years.”
“Full roofline replacement. They found two rafter feet with rot that the old timber had been concealing — sorted those out and the new fascias are solid.”
“Clean job, good price and they turned up when they said they would. The whole roofline looks completely different.”
Brighton neighbourhood with 1950s-70s estate housing. The dominant roofing maintenance issue in Hollingbury: frost-accelerated ridge mortar failure and nail sickness at 80-100m elevation.
Hollingbury's elevated position means more frost days and greater temperature cycling than coastal Brighton. Ridge mortar fails faster here than at sea level. Properties that needed ridge work 15 years ago on the seafront need it now at Hollingbury.
