Tired of painting your fascias and soffits every few years? Fed up with rotten wood that keeps returning? uPVC roofline replacement ends the maintenance cycle forever.
JB Contractors replaces fascias and soffits across Plymouth and throughout Plymouth. Transform your roofline with low-maintenance materials that look great for decades.
Why Replace Timber With uPVC?
End the Painting Cycle
Timber fascias and soffits need repainting every 3-5 years. Over 20 years, that's 4-7 rounds of scaffolding, preparation, and painting. uPVC eliminates this completely.
Stop the Rot
Timber rots when paint fails, especially where gutters overflow onto fascias. uPVC cannot rot, won't absorb water, and maintains its appearance regardless of moisture exposure.
Improve Appearance
New uPVC provides clean, consistent appearance that makes your whole property look smarter. Various colours and profiles suit different property styles.
Better Ventilation
uPVC soffit replacement is an opportunity to improve roof ventilation. Vented soffits help prevent condensation problems in your roof space.
The Replacement Process
Survey and Quote
We measure your roofline and note any specific requirements – rafter repairs, ventilation needs, awkward access points. You receive a detailed written quote.
Scaffold Erection
Safe access is essential for quality work. We arrange scaffolding around your property, typically erected the day before work starts.
Remove Existing
Old fascias, soffits, and any rotten rafter feet are carefully removed. We dispose of all waste responsibly.
Rafter Repairs
Rotten rafter feet are cut back to sound timber and extended with new treated timber. This is essential for secure fixing of new boards.
Install New Boards
New uPVC fascias and soffits are cut precisely and fixed securely. All joints are properly sealed and finished.
Guttering
Usually combined with new gutters for a complete roofline renovation. Existing gutters can be refitted if in good condition.
Cleanup
We leave your property clean and tidy with all debris removed. Scaffold comes down once work is complete.

Questions we get asked
How long does roofline replacement take?
A typical semi-detached house takes 2-3 days. Larger properties or complex rooflines take longer. We provide accurate timings when quoting.
Do I need to replace gutters at the same time?
Not necessarily, but it usually makes sense. The gutters must come down to access fascias anyway, and scaffolding costs are the same. If gutters are more than 10 years old, replacement is usually worthwhile.
Will it match my windows?
We can match most window colours. White matches white uPVC windows perfectly. Woodgrain effects match many popular window finishes.
What if the rafter feet are rotten?
We include allowance for typical repairs in our quotes. Extensive rot may cost extra, but we'll show you what we find and agree any additional work before proceeding.
How long does uPVC roofline last?
Quality uPVC with proper installation should last 25-30 years. Guarantees typically cover 10-20 years depending on manufacturer.
