Decades of rot stripped back to sound timber and rebuilt, fascias, soffits and eaves renewed on a characterful period property.
Behind the moss and flaking paint, the roofline of this period property had quietly failed. Original timber bargeboards, fascias and rafter feet had taken on water for years, soft, blackened and in places rotted clean through.
Once scaffolded and inspected at close quarters, the full extent showed itself, rafter ends crumbling away from the wall, fungal growth in the timber and bargeboards held together by little more than old paint.
We cut out the failed sections back to sound material, spliced and replaced rafter feet, and installed new fascias, soffits and bargeboards in fresh timber, matched to the original profiles so the building keeps its period character.
Failed bargeboards, fascias and rafter feet removed back to sound, dry timber.
The roof and slate inspected at close quarters so nothing rotten was left behind.
Fresh timber fascias and soffits installed, primed and finished in crisp white.
