The roofline protects a home from weather, moisture or pests and the fascias and soffits form a key part of this structure. Many property owners will only notice them when damage appears. If you want your roofline to stay watertight and structurally sound, you need to keep these components in good condition or should have them replaced.
Bentley Builders supports homeowners across Deal, Folkestone and the surrounding areas with high-end fascia and soffit replacements.
Working out of Dover, we see the impact that coastal conditions have on roofline components. If you want to keep a property maintained to a standard that keeps the loft space and interior protected, we are here to help. All you need to do is pick up the phone and call us.

How Do Fascias and Soffits Form the Roofline?
Fascias run along the lower edge of the roof and they come fitted in a way that supports the bottom row of tiles and hold the guttering. If they fail, the gutters sag or pull away from a property. Soffits sit beneath the fascias. They seal the underside of the roofline and stop wind-driven rain, birds and pests from reaching the rafters.
Soffits regulate airflow, reducing the risk of timber decay.
If the fascias and soffits are damaged, the rooflines of properties in the Deal and Folkestone areas become more vulnerable to:
These problems escalate quickly. Replacing damaged elements earlier limits your repair costs and protects the structure of your home.
Replacements in Deal and Folkestone
Homes in coastal locations face harsher conditions. Winds, salts and rain can weaken older timber fascias and soffits over time. In Deal and Folkestone, many properties still rely on their original wooden roofline components. If the paint has deteriorated, exposed timbers absorb moisture and begin to swell or split. Once decay sets in, the only effective solution is to book in with us for a replacement.
You might also notice issues if:
Any of the signs above suggest that the fascias and soffits are no longer performing as intended and should be replaced immediately.
The benefits of UPVC Fascia and Soffits
Most homeowners in Deal and Folkestone now choose UPVC replacements. This material offers consistent performance in coastal weather and only requires a minimal amount of maintenance. You can wash down the boards occasionally, ideally from the ground level using telescopic cleaning equipment, but they will never need to be painted.
UPVC fascias and soffits also provide improved ventilation options.
Built-in vents help maintain airflow in the loft, reducing the risk of condensation. Stronger profiles support modern guttering systems, which helps rainwater to run off efficiently during heavy downpours.
If you value long-term performance and equally lower repair bills, a prompt upgrade to a UPVC roofline is always the practical choice.
