Question 1
Why is to referred to as a cap over?
Timber fascias deteriorate naturally over time, due to their consistent exposure to the sun's UV rays or rotting due to excessive moisture from rain, or even gutter leakages.
It is important to maintain your timber fascias regularly in order to ensure they serve their purpose effectively and efficiently. One way of doing this is by capping over the exisiting timber with a uPVC fascia and soffit. Our team of fascia refurbishment professionals will install your fascias in any colour to match your needs.
As a rule of thumb, full fascia and soffit replacements are required on nearly all our installations due to the age of the original timber fascias and soffits, lack of maintenance and weather damage. If the original timber fascia boards and roof eaves are good condition, it is possible to have a fascia and soffit cap over. Our surveyor will work out the best solution for your needs and budget.
If you require our fascia refurbishment services contact us on 01202 470044 for a free site survey so we can let you know if we can carry out a refurbishment service or whether you require a full timber replacment.

The fascia is the front of the roofline. Attached directly to the rafters, the fascia is often made from uPVC but can often be seen in wood or metal. The fascia holds the gutter and takes the weight. Most popular choice for a fascia is white uPVC. It is possible to have your house fascia in a variety of colours and even in wood grain finish.
Soffits are not always featured on a roofs overhang. They are used to keep out the cold and damp and in the event of a fire, stop the flames from accessing the roof space. Because of this it is common to see asbestos soffits due to their fire-retardant properties, but no need to worry as we are an UKAS accredited asbestos removal company, so we can take care of all your requirements and will advise on the best way forward of working with or around asbestos.
Like your home’s fascia, the soffit can come in a wide variety of colours.
Gutters are used to catch rain water and debris and redirect the flow to a downpipe and off to a drainage area on your property. Gutters are often seen in three different types. uPVC, metal, and concrete. uPVC is the cheapest alternative to replacing concrete and old metal gutters. It is becoming more popular to reintroduce metal gutters to homes using galvanised steel gutters.
Barge boards are used to cover the gable end of your home. Barge boards are used to protects the roofs exposed timbers from the elements. Since bargeboards do not provide any structural support it is common so see barge boards in a more decorative fashion. It is common practise to use the same fascia board to carry on as the barge board.
Cladding is the latest way to decorate your home. It provides water proofing and heat insulation to the exterior of a building and is available in a wide range of colours, finishes and materials.

Why is to referred to as a cap over?
Unlike a tear down, a cap over does exactly that, it caps over the existing fascia and soffit.
Why would you cap over instead of replace?
Depending on budget some people cannot afford a full replacement of their roofline. Providing the existing timbers are in good shape a cap over is a viable options. your surveyor will check this and provide you with the best options.
Why would you pick a cap over instead of a full replacement?
Consider it like a protective screen for your phone. You are trying to prevent wear and damage. It is better to protect now then having to repair later.
Why is a cap over more affordable than replacement?
Unlike a replacement we will not need to pull down all the existing fascias and soffits. Not only does this save on time it saves on waste which allows us to bring the price point down.
Can I only cap over with white uPVC?
White is a common choice because of its cleaner look, but you can quite happily have black, brown, rosewood, golden oak and so on.
Do I have to have a cap over?
No, if you would prefer a full rip down instead that is fine. Our surveyor will provide you with all your options and you can choose what suits you best.
