Fascias Soffits Guttering in Ince-In-Makerfield, Wigan

Does the thought of dragging a ladder out every few years to paint your fascias fill you with dread? Traditional wooden boards look great when they're new, but they quickly succumb to the damp Cheshire climate. Once rot sets in, it doesn't just look messy; it can invite pests and allow water to seep into your rafters. By switching to high-quality UPVC, you're choosing a 'fit and forget' solution. It won't warp, crack, or fade, and the only maintenance it'll ever need is a quick wipe down with soapy water once a year. It's about making your life easier while ensuring your home stays bone-dry throughout the winter months.

You might have heard of 'capping' or 'over-cladding' – this is where a thin layer of plastic is nailed right over your old wooden boards. While it's a bit cheaper upfront, we usually advise against it. Why? Because it traps moisture against the old wood, meaning the rot continues unseen underneath. When we work on a home in Ince-In-Makerfield, we do things properly. We strip away the old timber entirely, inspect the rafter tails for any signs of damage, and install eaves protection trays to stop water ponding behind the boards. It’s the only way to ensure your new roofline lasts for decades rather than just a few years.

We get our fair share of heavy downpours in Wigan, and standard gutters can sometimes struggle to keep up. If you've noticed water cascading over the side of your gutters during a storm, it’s a sign they aren't coping or they've become misaligned. We install deep-flow guttering systems that are designed to handle much larger volumes of water, directing it safely away from your foundations. We also fit bird protection and leaf guards to keep those pesky blockages at bay. After all, the best guttering system is the one you never have to think about because it just works.

It’s amazing how much of a difference new fascias and soffits can make to the look of a house. It’s like giving your home a crisp, clean frame. While classic white is always popular for that clean-cut look, many homeowners in the area are now opting for Anthracite Grey to match modern window frames, or even Rosewood and Golden Oak for a more traditional feel. We use matching box ends and seamless joints to ensure the finish is sleek from every angle. If you're looking to boost your kerb appeal before a sale, or you just want to be the best-looking house on the street, a new roofline is one of the most cost-effective ways to do it.
