The roofline refers to fascia, soffits, and guttering. These boards, typically made of plastic or timber, protect the eaves (where the roof structure meets the brickwork of the house) and provide support for the guttering system. They are crucial for safeguarding your home from weather damage.
The roofline is one of the weakest points of a building and is often overlooked when it comes to maintenance. Timber fascia’s and soffits, in particular, can deteriorate rapidly, leading to water infiltration and potential rotting of roof rafters and joists. Similarly, old guttering can cause leaks and dampness, posing significant risks to the integrity of your property.
This is where UPVC roofline options shine. UPVC is ideal for exposed conditions at the roofline, requiring minimal maintenance and offering exceptional durability. With a lifespan of over 60 years, UPVC fascia, soffits, and guttering provide long-term protection for your home while enhancing its appearance and value.
To complement your new fascia and soffits, it’s essential to have an adequate rainwater system in place. Guttering, available in UPVC and steel, plays a vital role in preventing leaks and dampness.
Steel guttering, such as Lindab Rainline, is renowned for its durability, flexibility, and ease of installation. Designed by professionals for professionals, Lindab Rainline ensures decades of performance without rusting or leaking.
On the other hand, UPVC guttering offers a wide choice of profile designs, both traditional and modern, in various colours to suit all preferences and applications. With its low maintenance and cost-effective solution, UPVC rainwater systems remain the most popular choice on the market.

Very little maintenance is required. Cleaning them every 1-3 years, depending on the level of dirt, is usually sufficient.
No, fascias and soffits come in a variety of foiled colours, allowing you to match them with your windows and doors.
Fascias support the bottom row of tiles and protect roof rafters. Soffits shield rafters from the elements and pests, while guttering channels rainwater away, preventing water damage and damp issues.
