Fascia board replacement in Billingshurst
- 01
What fascias do
Fascia boards are fixed to the ends of the rafters along the roof edge. They hold the gutters, support the bottom row of tiles and close off the roof space. If they rot, the gutters can sag, the tiles can lose support and water can get into the timbers.

Signs they need replacing
Flaking paint, soft or crumbling timber, gutters pulling away, and dark stains along the roof edge are the usual signs. Timber fascias that need painting every few years are also worth replacing if you'd rather not keep going up a ladder.

Replace or cap over?
Capping fits a thin plastic cover over the old timber. It's cheaper, but it can hide rot that carries on underneath. We recommend full replacement, taking the old boards off so the rafter ends can be checked and repaired, unless the timber is still sound.
What to expect from fascia board replacement
We check the fascias, soffits and gutters, and look along the roof edge for damage to the rafter ends and the bottom row of tiles. Your free quote covers the boards, any timber repairs, refitting or replacing the gutters, and access.
On the day, we take down the gutters and the old fascias, repair any rotten rafter ends, then fix the new boards. We fit eaves protection where the felt has perished, refit or replace the gutters and check they drain before we leave.

Fascia board replacement questions
How much does fascia board replacement cost in Billingshurst?
It depends on the length of the roof edge, the height of the house, whether soffits and gutters are done at the same time and how much timber repair is needed. Doing everything in one visit usually saves on access. We give you a free quote first.
Are uPVC fascias better than timber in West Sussex?
For most homes, yes. uPVC fascias don't rot, don't need painting and only need an occasional wipe down. Timber can still be the right choice on some older or listed homes, where the look matters more. We'll talk you through both options when we quote.
How long does it take to replace fascias in Billingshurst?
A typical house takes one to two days, depending on its size and how much timber repair is needed behind the old boards. Bungalows are often quicker. We'll give you a likely timescale with your quote and refit the gutters as soon as each section is done.
Can rotten fascias cause leaks inside around Horsham?
Yes. Once fascias rot, the gutters can tip or pull away, and water runs behind them onto the rafter ends and into the roof space or walls. You may see damp along the top of upstairs walls or stains under the eaves. Replacing the fascias stops it at the source.
