Fascia, Soffit and Guttering Services in Oakham
Oakham is Rutland’s county town, with stone-built period houses, Oakham Castle and newer housing around the centre. Stone and slate roofs on older properties need careful, like-for-like repairs.
The fascia is the board along the edge of your roof that supports the bottom row of tiles and carries the gutters. Soffits are the boards beneath, closing the eaves and often vented to keep air moving through the roof space, which helps prevent rot in the roof timbers.
We offer everything from traditional timber to modern uPVC fascias and soffits. uPVC needs no painting, sanding or varnishing, so it is a cost-effective, long-lasting choice, while timber is still available if it suits your property better.
Leaking or overflowing gutters can cause damp and damage to walls, so they need to work properly. We repair, clear and replace guttering and downpipes in Oakham. For a free quote, call 07467 757 367.
Why Oakham Properties Need the Right Fascias, Soffits & Guttering
Fascias, soffits and gutters may not be the first thing you notice on an Oakham house, but they protect the stonework below. When a gutter leaks or overflows, water can run down stone walls and cause staining or damp, which is worth avoiding on a period property. On the newer homes around the town, tired uPVC or rotting timber boards are the more usual problem.
We fit uPVC or timber fascias and soffits, vented soffits to improve loft ventilation, and new guttering and downpipes. We also repair and clear existing gutters, which is often enough to stop an overflow. On older buildings, timber can keep a more traditional look, while uPVC keeps maintenance down on modern houses. We look after rooflines across Oakham and the wider area, including Uppingham and Bourne.
Alongside our Staines head office, we have a second office covering this part of the country, including Oakham. Like-for-like roof work does not usually need planning permission, but if your property is listed or in a conservation area it is worth checking with Rutland County Council before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

Fascias, Soffits & Guttering in Oakham: Your Questions Answered
Why is water running down the stone walls of my Oakham house?
This is usually caused by a blocked, cracked or misaligned gutter, or a downpipe that has come loose. Left alone, it can stain stone and lead to damp inside. We clear, repair or replace gutters and downpipes to direct water safely away from the walls.
Should I choose uPVC or timber?
uPVC needs no painting and will not rot, so it is the low-maintenance choice for most homes. Timber can suit period properties but needs regular painting or treatment.
How do I know if my fascias need replacing?
Flaking paint, soft or rotten timber, gaps where birds can get in, and gutters that sag or pull away from the board are all signs.
Why do my gutters overflow?
Usually because they are blocked with leaves and moss, sagging, or the joints have failed. We can clear, realign, repair or replace them.
What is the difference between fascias and soffits?
Fascias are the boards along the edge of the roof that support the bottom row of tiles and hold the gutters. Soffits sit underneath, closing the gap between the fascia and the wall.
How much does it cost to replace fascias, soffits and gutters?
It depends on the length of roofline, access and the materials you choose. We will measure up and give you a free, no-obligation quote.
