Fascias & Soffits in Kemp Town

Do You Actually Need Fascias & Soffits?

Fascias and soffits are the roofline boards that carry the gutter and close the eaves — when they fail, the roof edge and timbers are exposed. We see the same early signs again and again on Kemp Town roofs.

What to look for:

• Peeling, cracked or rotten timber fascia or soffit boards
• A gutter pulling away because the fascia behind it has softened
• Birds or squirrels getting into the eaves through gaps
• Flaking paint and green growth on the roofline boards
• Signs of damp or rot in the rafter feet behind the fascia

When it is not the answer: If the boards are sound timber that only needs preparation and painting, replacement in uPVC is not necessary — see our guide.

Kemp Town's Regency architecture has internal lead-lined gutters behind stucco parapets that are invisible from the street. These block silently and overflow into the building — often the first sign is a ceiling stain in the top-floor flat.

In Kemp Town, roofline work runs in most conditions; we avoid fitting and sealing in driving rain so joints finish clean.

Getting Safely onto Kemp Town Roofs

Access shapes every Kemp Town quote: roofline work is done from a tower or scaffold at the eaves; ladders alone are rarely safe for a full run. Scaffold is specified for full-elevation roofline replacement and any three-storey eaves — always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.

In Kemp Town, the Regency terraces of Sussex Square and Arundel Terrace have concealed parapet gutters and slate roofs, and conservation-area constraints on materials. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Brighton & Hove City Council; allow a few working days on streets like Sussex Square, Chichester Terrace, Arundel Terrace where space is tight.

What the 10-Year Guarantee Covers

On Kemp Town roofs, our workmanship is backed by a written 10-year guarantee, with manufacturer warranties on materials on top — in writing, every time.

• Covered: our workmanship for 10 years, in writing, and transferable if you sell.
• On top: manufacturer warranties on materials (terms vary by product).
• Not covered: storm or impact damage — that is an insurance matter, which we document for your claim.

If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right — no quibbling, no re-charge.

Disruption, Mess & Weather

Eaves-level work with old timber removed and taken away — tidy, with the borders and paths sheeted below. It is a routine sight on Kemp Town streets. You do not need to stay home for external work — we just need power and access agreed in advance.

uPVC roofline can be fitted year-round; we time the finishing and sealing for dry spells. Locally, Kemp Town's seafront exposure means salt-laden air corrodes lead and fixings faster than inland, and the parapets take the brunt of coastal gales.
