What the fascia and soffit actually do
The fascia is the upright board fixed to the ends of the rafters. The gutter brackets screw into it, so it carries every litre of water off the roof. The soffit closes the underside of the overhang, between the fascia and the wall. On a gable, the sloping board along the edge is the bargeboard, and it's priced with the job.
When they fail, you can see it from the ground: paint flaking off timber, a board bowing or split at a joint, a gutter dropped at one end, birds or wasps getting in behind, or damp staining under the eaves.
The soffit also lets air into the attic. SEAI's insulation standard asks for a continuous gap of at least 10 mm, or the same in vents, at the eaves where the attic is insulated at ceiling level. New boards must keep that gap open. uPVC fascia and soffit covers vents and board sizes.

FAQ
Questions we get asked
How much does fascia and soffit replacement cost in Ireland?
€900 to €1,800 for a mid-terrace, €1,000 to €2,500 for a semi and €2,000 to €4,000+ for a detached house, supplied and fitted. With new gutters as well, most houses come in between €1,000 and €4,500. The price guide has the detail.
How long does it take?
One to two days for most houses. A big detached house, scaffolding or rot behind the old boards adds a day or two. See how long it takes.
Is there a grant for fascia and soffits?
Not on its own. If you're getting external wall insulation with the SEAI grant (€6,000 for a semi, €8,000 for a detached house), the soffits and gutters usually have to be adjusted anyway, so do them together.
Will it make a mess?
Very little. The old boards and gutters come down in sections and leave in the company's van, and the ground under the eaves is swept at the end of each day. You don't need to move out or clear rooms: the work is all outside.
Is the work guaranteed?
Ask for the guarantee in writing with the price: one on the workmanship from the company, and the board maker's guarantee on the uPVC and its colour. Good uPVC boards commonly last 20 to 30 years.
Who comes out to my house?
One fascia and soffit company that covers your county. They look at the roofline, price it in writing and do the work. We pass your request on; we don't do the work ourselves, and we never send your details to more than one company.
Can new uPVC go over the old timber?
Only if the timber is sound. Capping boards aren't load bearing, so the old fascia still carries the gutter. Rotten timber has to come out. See capping vs full replacement.
Do I need planning permission?
Not usually. Like-for-like maintenance that doesn't change how the house looks is exempted development under section 4(1)(h) of the Planning and Development Act 2000. For a protected structure, or a big change of colour or style, ask the council first.
