Fascias, soffits and bargeboards on Rottingdean 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.
Lime mortar required on flint cottages. Roofline replacement in Rottingdean 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. Victorian village (flint cottages, clay tile) plus 1930s-50s expansion (concrete tile)
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.

We specify UV-stabilised coastal-grade uPVC as standard for all Rottingdean properties — the same product, longer lifespan.

“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 Victorian village plus 1930s-50s expansion housing. The dominant roofing maintenance issue in Rottingdean: lime mortar for flint cottages and conservation area compliance.
Rottingdean's historic village core has flint cottages requiring lime mortar — cement causes irreversible damage to flint structures. The 1930s expansion has standard nail sickness issues. The same roofer needs to know both: lime mortar specification and concrete tile nail sickness assessment.
