Fascias Soffits Guttering in Golborne, Wigan

Most homeowners we chat with in Golborne are tired of the endless cycle of climbing ladders every few years to sand and paint old wooden boards. Wood might look great when it's new, but in our neck of the woods, it doesn't take long for the damp to set in. Once rot starts in your fascias, it’s like a sponge, pulling moisture into the tips of your roof beams—what we call the rafter tails. If you’ve noticed dark stains on your boards or bits of timber starting to flake away, it's usually a sign that the wood has had its day. We replace that old, tired timber with high-quality UPVC that won't warp, crack, or ever need a paintbrush again. It’s a permanent fix that lets you put the ladder away for good.

You might have heard of 'capping'—that's when a contractor simply nails a thin piece of plastic over your existing wooden boards. It looks okay for a few months, but it's actually a bit of a disaster waiting to happen. By covering up the wood, you're essentially trapping any existing rot and moisture against your roof's structure. It’s like putting a clean shirt over a dirty one. We don't work like that. Our team performs a full replacement, which means we strip away every bit of the old timber. This lets us inspect the rafter tails properly. If we find any soft spots, we fix them right then and there before we install your new, vented soffits and fascias. It’s the only way to ensure your roof stays healthy for the next thirty years.

Is your guttering doing its job, or is it more of a decorative waterfall when it pours? We see a lot of houses in Golborne with gutters that are either blocked, sagging, or just too small to handle a proper North West downpour. When water spills over the side, it doesn't just make a mess; it can cause serious damp issues in your walls and even mess with your property's footings. We install deep-flow guttering systems designed to carry much more water than the standard versions. We also pay close attention to the fall—the slight angle needed to make sure water actually runs toward the downpipes rather than sitting in stagnant pools. Whether you want classic white, traditional black, or a modern Anthracite Grey, we'll make sure your system is as functional as it is stylish.

It’s amazing how much of a difference new roofline can make to the overall look of a house. Many of our customers in the Wigan area are surprised that simply updating the fascias and soffits can make an older property look brand new. We offer a range of finishes to suit your style, from the popular Rosewood and Golden Oak for a traditional look, to the sleek, contemporary feel of Anthracite Grey. We also install dry verge systems, which replace that messy, cracking mortar on the edge of your roof tiles with clean, secure plastic caps. It’s these small details—like custom-fitted box ends and seamless joints—that really make a home stand out on the street.
