Soffits and Roof Ventilation in Bury St Edmunds
GC Fixings Ltd, a family run uPVC installer based near Ipswich, covers fascia and soffit replacement in Bury St Edmunds and the rest of Suffolk and Essex. A soffit closes the underside of the eaves, and a ventilated one lets air into the roof space fascia and soffit replacement Ipswich so moisture leaves before it condenses on the timbers.
Why does condensation build up in Bury St Edmunds loft spaces?
Soffits sit underneath the fascia and close off the space between the rafters and the brickwork. Ventilated soffits keep air moving through the roof void, and moving air takes moisture with it.
Without ventilation, warm damp air from the house condenses on cold roof timbers. Left long enough, that becomes mould and softened wood. Where the roof calls for it, GC Fixings Ltd adds over fascia vents alongside the soffits.
Is it worth replacing soffit and fascia?
Usually, yes, once the timber is rotting or the paint has failed, because uPVC ends the repainting cycle and protects the rafter ends. Roofline fitted by GC Fixings Ltd carries a ten year guarantee, and the quotation is free.
What do downpipes do that gutters cannot?
The gutter collects the water; the downpipe gets it safely to the ground and into the drain. Too few downpipes means a heavy shower spills over the front edge.
A broken downpipe sends rain straight down the brickwork, which leads to damp and washed out ground by the wall. Downpipes are part of every guttering system GC Fixings Ltd installs.
Is it easy to replace soffits?
It is not a simple job, because soffits sit under the fascia at roof height and are usually replaced together with it. Height, the state of the timber behind and correct ventilation make it a job for an installer.
How long has the business been installing?
GC Fixings Ltd has over 25 years of industry experience, much of it in roofline and double glazing. Where it matters is on the difficult roofs, not the easy ones.
