Fascias, soffits and bargeboards on Portslade 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.
Nail sickness endemic on 1960s-70s concrete tile estates. Roofline replacement in Portslade 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.
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.
Coastal but more sheltered than open Brighton seafront due to the harbour arm and industrial port screening. Higher particulate pollution from the port area deposits on roof surfaces, accelerating biological growth and tile degradation. 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 Portslade 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.”
