What you get with Eco Roofers
What we typically see on Greater Manchester roofs
Greater Manchester roof-stock combines dense Victorian terrace (M14/M16/M21 — Rusholme, Whalley Range, Chorlton), inter-war semis through Didsbury and Withington, post-war estates through Wythenshawe and Salford, plus stone-slate cottage stock through the Oldham/Rochdale Pennine fringe.
Local weather notes. Wet-Atlantic weather means moss growth is markedly worse than the East Midlands — valley leaks and lead-flashing failure are more common.
Approved Document L 2022 sets the thermal performance baseline for new roofs (U ≤ 0.16 W/m²K pitched, ≤ 0.18 flat). On flat roofs, BS 6229:2018 sets the design and falls standard. Eco Roofers will guide you through any Building Control notification needed on your job.

When fascia and soffit need replacing
Four signals it’s time:
1. Visible rot in timber fascias. Original timber fascias (pre-2000 housing) typically rot within 25-30 years. Soft spots, peeling paint, dark patches, visible cracks.
2. uPVC discoloration or warping. Older uPVC (pre-2010) discolours and goes brittle within 25 years. Modern uPVC lasts 30+ years.
3. Failed fascia behind a problematic gutter. When guttering fails and overflows for months, the fascia behind takes the damage. Combined replacement saves money.
4. Pest entry points. Rodent or wasp entry through gaps under eaves — replacement with vented soffit closes these off.

Combined fascia + soffit + guttering work
When all three are due replacement, combining the work typically saves £200-£500 vs sequential jobs. Why: scaffolding’s already up, roofers are already there, materials delivered together.
Typical combined cost (semi-detached): £1,200-£1,800 (vs £1,500-£2,200 done separately over time).
Material options
UPVC (default UK choice 2026): £900-£2,800. White, black, brown, anthracite grey, woodgrain finishes. 30-year lifespan typical. Maintenance-free.
Aluminium (premium): £1,500-£4,000. Powder-coated finish, can be specified to match cast-iron heritage look. 50+ year lifespan. Premium pricing.
Timber (heritage / listed): £1,500-£4,500. Required on listed buildings and some conservation areas. Needs repainting every 5-10 years. 30-50 year lifespan with maintenance.
For 95% of UK domestic properties, uPVC is the right choice. Aluminium for premium specs; timber only where listed-building consent requires.
Why fascia and soffit matter beyond aesthetics
The fascia is the timber/uPVC board the gutter is fixed to. The soffit closes off the underside of the eaves. Together they:
- Hold the gutter in alignment
- Block bird, wasp, and rodent entry
- Provide attachment for soffit ventilation (cold-roof construction needs this)
- Protect the rafter ends and roof timbers from weather
Failed fascia = failing gutter alignment = water damage to walls + structural risk to rafters.
FAQ
How much does fascia and soffit replacement cost?
£900-£2,800 for typical semi-detached UK property in uPVC. Includes scaffolding, removal of old, new boards, ventilation strips, waste removal, 20-year workmanship guarantee.
How long does uPVC fascia last?
30 years typical. Modern uPVC (post-2010) is significantly more UV-stable than older grades and can last 35-40 years.
Should I replace fascia and gutters at the same time?
Yes — combined-job typically saves £200-£500 vs sequential. Scaffolding’s already up. We almost always recommend the combined approach when both are visibly tired.
Can I paint over rotted fascia instead?
Only as a short-term fix. Paint over rot looks fine for 12-18 months but the timber underneath continues to fail. The gutter behind will start sagging within 2 winters.
