Water damage is one of the most destructive forces that can affect any property. Once damp has found its way into a home it can be difficult to stop and expensive to treat. Rainwater that has penetrated timber fascias through holes or cracks in the paintwork will rot the wood and spread throughout the board. Traditional timber fascias and soffits need regular maintenance. They should be painted, varnished or otherwise treated every four to five years to maintain water-resistance. If you have UPVC fascias, soffits and guttering the chances are that they don’t need replacing and won’t for many years to come. Modern UPVC fascias and soffits are totally weather proof and will last for decades. Once fitted, UPVC fascias and soffits need no further maintenance, unlike traditional timber fascias and soffits.
