Fascias and soffits on Mildenhall property
Post war concrete tile estates, fen edge bungalows at Beck Row and West Row, and clay tile and slate in the older centre. Roofline age tends to track the age of the house, so whole streets come due at once.
Fascias and soffits on Mildenhall roofs
The job we get called for most around Mildenhall is mortar failure. Bedded ridge and verge mortar cracks, water gets behind it, the batten ends rot and then the whole edge of the roof starts to lift. It is a straightforward fix if it is caught, and a re-roof if it is not.
Capping is the thing to watch for. It is quick and cheap to screw a uPVC board over the old timber and leave the rot behind it, and it looks perfect for about three years. We take the old boards off. It costs more on the quote and it is the only version of this job that is actually worth having done.
It matters here because flat, open and dry, with the wind coming straight off the fen., so the eaves take the wind and the rain that runs off the whole roof above them.
What the job includes
- New uPVC or timber fascia, soffit and bargeboard in your choice of finish
- All old material taken away
- Rotten rafter ends and wall plate repaired or spliced before anything is fitted
- Felt support tray at the eaves where the underlay has torn back
- Old boards removed so the rafter feet can actually be seen
Signs to look for
- Boards sagging or pulling away from the wall
- Birds or wasps getting into the roof space at the eaves
- Paint flaking or timber going soft and dark at the eaves
Doing roofline properly in Mildenhall
Anthracite grey has quietly become the default around here, usually to match newer windows, and white is still the safe choice on a period property. Both are the same job underneath. What decides how long it lasts is whether the timber behind was sound when it went on.

FAQs
Fascias and soffits in Mildenhall: your questions
Can you match the colour to my windows?
Yes. White, black, anthracite grey, rosewood and light oak are all standard, and we will bring samples so you can hold them against the frames rather than guess from a brochure.
Do you replace the guttering at the same time?
Almost always, and it is usually the sensible thing to do. The gutter has to come off to fit the fascia anyway, so refitting a twenty year old gutter onto a brand new board is false economy.
Do you do fascias and soffits in Mildenhall?
Yes. Mildenhall is one of the towns we cover as standard, along with Beck Row, West Row, Holywell Row and the villages around them.
