From the moment Jason came out to look at my roof, he was polite and informative, talking me through what needed to be done.
Nice chap, reliable and great workmanship.
Guttering
Complete guttering can be renewed in uPVC or aluminium, with half-round, square-line and deep-flow profiles available for different roof and drainage needs.
Replacement work can include outlets, downpipes and concrete or Finlock gutters where needed.
Repairs cover leaking joints, loose brackets, cracked sections and damaged downpipes.
Fascias
New fascias can be fitted in uPVC or timber, with bargeboards and box ends replaced where they form part of the same roof edge.
uPVC removes the need for regular painting, while timber remains available for properties with an existing timber finish.
Smaller areas of rot or damage can also be repaired.
Soffits
Soffits can be fully replaced with new uPVC or timber boards, with ventilation and bird guards included where suitable.
Replacement may form part of a wider roofline renewal or deal with old soffits on their own. Local repairs are also possible where only part of the soffit is damaged.
Existing airflow needs to be considered when new boards are fitted.
Not Sure What Has Failed? Start With What You Can See
Several roofline problems can look alike from the ground.
You may notice:
- Water dripping or overflowing from one area
- Guttering sagging or pulling away
- A cracked or loose downpipe
- Timber fascia peeling or deteriorating
- A soffit panel which has moved or broken
- Water marks beneath the roof edge
The important question is not what the damaged part is called.
It is why the problem is happening.
A leak may start at a joint. A loose gutter may have failed brackets. If the timber behind those brackets is damaged, the fascia also needs checking.
Water which keeps escaping can wet the same board or wall each time it rains. Loose fittings may move further. Existing timber damage can spread into nearby areas.
We check the cause before recommending work. The condition comes first, rather than starting with a replacement product and working backwards.
Stop The Same Leak Coming Back Every Time It Rains
A recurring gutter fault keeps exposing the same part of your roof edge or wall to escaping water.
Gutter repairs in Ilford include:
- Leaking gutter repairs
- Replacement joints and brackets
- Repairs to damaged gutter sections
- Downpipe repair and replacement
- New guttering installation
- Complete gutter replacement
- Concrete or Finlock gutter replacement
Where the fault is confined to one part of an otherwise sound system, the job does not need to start with replacing everything around it.
If replacement is needed, Ross Roofing installs uPVC and aluminium guttering. Half-round, square-line and deep-flow profiles are available for different roof and drainage arrangements.
The aim is to stop the recurring fault and get rainwater flowing through the guttering and downpipes again.
If The Gutter Is Pulling Away, Check What Is Holding It
Replacing a bracket will not help much if the fascia behind it is failing.
Fascia work includes:
- Fascia repairs
- Full fascia replacement
- Timber fascia repair and replacement
- New uPVC fascia boards
- Bargeboards and box ends
- Removal and disposal of old materials
If timber has deteriorated, the extent of the damage needs checking before the work is specified.
There is no automatic switch from timber to uPVC.
Existing timber may be repaired or replaced with timber where suitable. uPVC is another option for new fascia boards and offers lower maintenance than painted timber while resisting rot.
The condition of the roofline comes first. The material choice follows.
Broken Soffits Need More Than A Cosmetic Cover-Up
A cracked or loose soffit may be the part you notice, but the area beneath the roof edge often needs ventilation. Replacement boards should not prevent airflow, which needs to remain open. We ensure proper ventilation as part of the work.
Soffit and eaves work can include:
- Soffit replacement
- Soffit repairs
- New uPVC soffits
- Timber soffits
- Soffit ventilation
- Bird guards
- Eaves protection and underlay trays
- Cladding or dry verge work where required
Gaps around the eaves may also allow birds into the roof edge, so adjoining areas need checking also.
For landlords, a clear assessment also helps when a tenant reports overflowing guttering, damaged soffits or water marks. You can see the proposed work before authorising the repair, reducing the risk of repeated callouts for the same unresolved fault.
When One Roofline Job Makes More Sense Than Several Repairs
Sometimes the guttering, facias and soffits are all old and it’s time for a new roofline.
A full roofline project may include:
- New guttering and downpipes
- Fascia and soffit replacement
- Bargeboards and box ends
- Eaves protection and ventilation
- Bird or gutter guards
- Scaffolding
This does not turn every gutter fault into a complete roofline replacement.
It gives you one planned job when the guttering, fascia, and soffit work already overlap. Old roofline materials can also be removed and disposed of.
Where cladding or a dry verge system forms part of the roof-edge work, Ross Roofing can include these elements as well.
Leaving connected faults unresolved can mean the same section needs attention again later. Where the work overlaps, treating it as a single planned job may make more sense.
Know Exactly What We Are Quoting For
A quote is more useful when you understand why the work has been recommended.
Your free guttering, soffit and fascia survey and quote can establish:
- What is causing the problem
- Which roofline parts are involved
- What work we propose
- Which sections do not form part of the job
- Which material options suit the work
- Whether scaffolding is required
- What the proposed work will cost
We have more than 20 years of roofing experience and City & Guilds qualifications. Ross Roofing is also a Which? Trusted Trader, holds public liability insurance and has 5-star customer feedback.
Our approach is straightforward: diagnose before specifying, repair where appropriate and recommend replacement where the condition justifies it.
If a concern extends beyond the roofline, we also offer paid drone roof surveys to inspect the wider roof condition.
