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.
Sunderland — local context
Traditional material: Welsh slate on Victorian terraces, concrete post-war.
Coastal exposure accelerates lead and nail corrosion on seaward-facing elevations; Ashbrooke and Grangetown contain conservation areas with material restrictions.
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.

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.
