What the job involves

Fascia is the vertical board at the edge of the roof where the gutter fixes; soffit is the horizontal underboard. Both can be timber or UPVC. Timber rots, UPVC doesn’t — but UPVC looks out of place on some period houses.

Replacement is usually done together with guttering because the brackets behind the fascia have to be accessed either way.

London — local context

Traditional material: Welsh slate on Georgian and Victorian terraces, clay tile in the outer boroughs.

London has the highest concentration of listed buildings and conservation areas in England, which commonly restrict re-roofs to like-for-like materials; inner boroughs also add parking suspension fees that push scaffold-assisted jobs above the baseline.

What changes the price

  • Linear metres around the house.
  • Timber (painted) vs UPVC (maintenance-free).
  • Whether the roof covering has to be disturbed to chase the fascia out.
  • Access on two-storey and taller properties.

Timeline: Usually 2–4 days for a standard semi.

Common questions

Timber or UPVC?

UPVC is maintenance-free and cheap to replace but looks modern. Painted timber is traditional and can be stained to match a period property, but has to be repainted every 5–10 years. In conservation areas UPVC may be restricted.

Can I replace just the rotten sections?

On timber, yes — a competent carpenter can splice in new sections. On UPVC, usually not — the boards come in longer lengths and the jointing makes patch repairs look obvious.

What does fascia & soffit replacement typically cost in London?

A typical fascia & soffit replacement job in London falls in the £43–£122/m² range, with the middle of the market around £73/m². London’s labour and access factor (1.22× the national baseline) means prices run slightly above the UK average. Actual quotes vary with access, materials, and specifics of the job.

Are there any London-specific things that affect price?

London has the highest concentration of listed buildings and conservation areas in England, which commonly restrict re-roofs to like-for-like materials; inner boroughs also add parking suspension fees that push scaffold-assisted jobs above the baseline.
