ROOFLINE INSTALLATIONS
Guttering, bargeboards, fascias and soffits play a pivotal role in protecting your roof against the weather. By redirecting rainwater and ensuring proper airflow, these basic yet crucial roofline systems can prevent leaks, draughts, water condensation, and other issues that could have a huge impact on your building’s structure and your comfort. As well as creating a protective shield around the exposed edges of the roof, a completed roofline can enhance the aesthetic of your property, creating a neat finish that complements the rest of the building.
​
As part of your new roof installation, roof upgrade, or as a standalone service, W Hartley Limited can install low-cost yet highly resilient, durable uPVC piping and components to promote efficiency and protect your roof in the long run. Utilising some of the best products on the market, we can ensure you an installation to be proud of.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR ROOFLINE
Fascias are solid uPVC boards that create a barrier between your roof rafters and the outside world. Positioned at the edge of the roof, they're designed to endure the UK's unpredictable climate, including heavy rain and snowfall. By stopping water penetrating the building's structure, fascias can prevent issues such as mould and damp.
Bargeboards are long, decorative boards, typically installed along the gable ends of a roof. They run diagonally along the edge of the roof, extending from the eaves to the ridge to offer protection to the exposed edges and prevent water and weather damage at the gable end. As well as functional, their range of colours and designs can add to your roofline's aesthetic.

MyBuilder review
Soffits are straight uPVC boards placed between the outer edge of the roof and the exterior wall of the building beneath the overhanging section of the roof. Their main role is to provide ventilation to the attic space/rafters whilst protecting the roof structure from damp and condensation.
Guttering is essentially horizontal channels installed along the edges of the roof with the purpose of collecting and redirecting rainwater away from the building. Vertical downpipes are attached to then carry the water to the ground instead of allowing this to drip down the property.
NEED A ROOFLINE REPAIR?
Tailoring our solutions to meet the needs of our clients in Newark and across our service areas, we can also offer remedial works for guttering that has seen better days. This approach is often taken with leaking joints and blockages, of which we’ll remove the insufficient jointing material, clear the piping and install new sealant to restore your existing system. By assessing the condition of your roofline as it stands, we can prevent the need for a full removal and mitigate the cost of installing new if it isn't needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
​
How do I know if my fascias and soffits need replacing?
You may notice visible cracks, peeling, or rotting boards. Other warning signs include water stains on your walls or condensation in the loft. If left untreated, these issues can quickly escalate, so it’s best to have them inspected early.
​
What materials do you use for soffits and fascias?
We use durable, low-maintenance uPVC products that are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions. Unlike timber, uPVC won’t rot, warp, or require regular repainting, making it a practical and long-lasting choice.
​
Can you replace fascias and soffits without changing the guttering?
Yes, we can. While many homeowners choose to replace guttering at the same time for a complete upgrade, it isn’t always necessary. Our team will advise on the best approach depending on the condition of your existing system.
​
How long does the installation take?
Most fascias and soffits installations are completed within a few days, depending on the size of the property. We always work efficiently to minimise disruption while ensuring the highest standard of workmanship.
​
How often should fascias and soffits be maintained or inspected?
We recommend having your fascias and soffits inspected at least once a year, ideally before winter, when harsh weather can cause the most damage. Regular maintenance checks allow us to spot minor issues like small cracks, blocked vents, or loose fittings before they turn into costly repairs.
