Fascia & Soffit specialists covering Haddenham, Thame and Aylesbury. Listed wychert village core, Victorian Church Way, 20th century Townside estates. Free surveys, no call-out fee, 10-year guarantee on all work.
Haddenham has Historic village core with wychert (chalk and straw) cottages, many listed, alongside Victorian and Edwardian expansion on Church Way and Stanbridge Road, and 20th century semi-detached on Townside and Banks Road. Haddenham sits in the flat Vale between Aylesbury and Thame on heavy clay. Persistent moisture and frost action on mortar are the main climate factors. Mature tree cover in the older streets accelerates moss growth significantly.
20th century properties on Townside and Banks Road have standard UPVC fascia that is reaching end of life on the oldest examples. Listed wychert and Victorian properties in the village core require painted timber to match historic character — any external change may require listed building consent.
All work carried out by our own employed team — no subcontractors. Free surveys across Haddenham, Thame and Aylesbury. Written quotes before work starts. 10-year workmanship guarantee on every job. Call 0129 670 6028.

Haddenham sits in the flat Vale between Aylesbury and Thame on heavy clay lowland. The combination of persistent moisture, slow drainage, and mature tree cover in the older streets creates conditions where moss colonisation is among the fastest in our coverage area.
Unique in our coverage area for its listed wychert (chalk and straw) cottage stock in the historic village core — these require specialist lime mortar specification for all pointing and flashing work. Victorian and Edwardian expansion on Church Way, with 20th century semis on Townside and Banks Road representing standard specification territory.
Listed wychert properties require particular attention — water ingress into wychert fabric is especially damaging and cement mortar repairs cause structural harm to the building material itself. All chimney, ridge, and flashing work on listed properties must use lime mortar matched to the original specification. For fascia and soffit replacement, understanding these local patterns means we diagnose correctly first time and specify repairs that hold in local conditions rather than generic solutions.

Call 0129 670 6028Roofline decay is often hidden behind the gutter. Here is how to tell your fascias and soffits need attention.
When it is not the answer: If the timber behind the gutter is genuinely sound, capping over it is a legitimate cheaper option — we only recommend full replacement where the timber has actually rotted. Read the full guide.
We assess the fascia by hand behind the gutter, check soffit ventilation and the rafter ends.
uPVC, timber or aluminium specified to suit the property, with an honest capping-versus-replacement recommendation.
Most roofline jobs are booked within the week.
New fascia, soffit and guttering with ventilation built in, or capping where the timber is sound.

| Job | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| Capping over sound timber | 1 day |
| Full roofline, semi | 1–2 days |
| Full roofline, detached | 2–3 days |
Roofline work runs in most weather; high winds pause work at the eaves for safety.
Eaves-level work reached from towers on a bungalow; scaffold on two-storey properties. Scaffold is specified for: two-storey roofline replacement - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Haddenham is known for its distinctive witchert (earth-walled) cottages and conservation core, alongside modern estates — access and materials vary sharply. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Buckinghamshire Council; allow a few working days on streets like Church Way, Townside, Fort End where space is tight.

If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.
A day or two of eaves-level work with minimal internal disruption. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
Fascia and soffit work runs year-round, pausing only in high winds at height. Open Vale position gives little wind shelter; the older witchert stock is especially sensitive to roof-line water shedding.
"20th century semi on Townside — fascia and soffit replacement. Rotten board found behind the gutter. Rafter foot inspected and treated. Good thorough job."
"Our listed wychert cottage needed ridge repointing with lime mortar. They understood the requirement without having to be told and matched the original specification. Exactly right."
"Rear extension flat roof had been leaking for one winter. Deck was wet through. Full strip, new OSB deck, EPDM membrane. One of the better flat roof installations I've had quoted."
A standard 3-bed semi in Haddenham typically costs £700–£2,000 for full UPVC fascia, soffit, and new guttering. This includes scaffold or tower where required and waste removal. Period properties requiring painted timber are higher. Free surveys across Haddenham.
Over-boarding (fitting new UPVC over existing timber) is viable only where the existing timber is dry and structurally sound. If there is any moisture in the existing fascia, over-boarding traps it and accelerates deterioration. We inspect the existing fascia before recommending either approach.
A standard semi-detached in Haddenham takes one to two days. This includes removing old guttering, inspecting rafter feet, fitting new UPVC fascia and soffit, and fitting new guttering. We clean up and remove waste at the end of each day.
Yes — we include new guttering as standard in our fascia replacement quotations. The guttering must be removed to replace the fascia regardless, so fitting new guttering at the same time adds minimal cost compared to returning for a separate job.
All work in Haddenham is carried out by our own directly employed team — we do not use labour-only subcontractors or agency workers. The people who survey your roof are the people who fix it. This gives you direct accountability and consistent quality on every job.
All roofing work carries a 10-year written workmanship guarantee. If anything fails due to our workmanship within that period, we return and fix it at no charge. Tile manufacturers also provide separate product warranties — typically 30–40 years on quality products. Both are issued in writing on job completion.
The primary cause is water pooling behind the gutter on a fascia that has not been painted regularly. Once paint film fails, the timber absorbs water from behind the gutter continuously. Blocked gutters that overflow at the back joint accelerate the process dramatically. UPVC replacement eliminates this mechanism entirely — UPVC does not rot and requires no periodic painting.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Just an honest quote from a local Aylesbury roofer.
