FSR – Fascias and Soffits Repair

Fascia & Soffit Services in Cambridge

Timber repair specialists for the whole roofline — fascias, soffits, bargeboards and gutters — repaired where they can be, replaced where they must be, in timber, Accoya or uPVC. Based in Cambridge, working across East Anglia.

A period house under scaffolding for restoration of its timber soffits and roofline.

What we do

Every service on this page comes back to the same idea: the edge of the roof is a system, and a repair that ignores the rest of the system does not last. We started as timber repairers and still think like them — keep what is sound, replace what is not, fix the cause — whether the job is a spliced fascia end on a Cambridge terrace or a full uPVC roofline on a Peterborough semi.

How we work

  • Survey from the ladder, with photographs. We probe every board and look behind the soffit; you get the pictures with the quote.
  • A quote by elevation that separates repair from replacement, so you can see what is driving the price and decide how far to go.
  • Repair before replacement. Splices, consolidation and Tricoya lamination keep sound timber in place; replacement is a full strip-out, never a cap over rot.
  • The cause fixed with the symptom. Gutter falls, eaves felt, ventilation and verges are dealt with at the same visit.
  • Finished properly. Timber primed on all faces and painted; uPVC fitted with the right fixings and gaps; site left clean.

Older houses and conservation areas

A large part of our work is on period houses — the terraces and villas of Cambridge, Norwich and Ipswich, the market towns of Suffolk and Essex, the cottages of the fens — where the roofline detail is part of the building. Like-for-like timber repair is what conservation officers expect there, and it is the work we enjoy most. Where a listed building needs consent for a change of material or profile, we can supply the description and photographs.

Frequently asked questions

Which service do I need?

If you can see rot, peeling paint or a sagging board, start with repair — most rooflines do not need replacing. If the boards are past it along a whole elevation, look at replacement in timber or uPVC. If the problem is water where it should not be, it is usually the gutters. And if the boards are simply green or grey, they probably need cleaning, not replacing. When in doubt, send a photograph and we will tell you.

Do you charge for a survey?

No. Surveys and quotes are free and without obligation across our whole area. For distant postcodes we may ask for photographs first so that the visit is worthwhile for both of us.

Are you insured and guaranteed?

We are fully insured, and selected products carry a 10-year guarantee in addition to our workmanship guarantee. The paperwork comes with the completed job.

Where are you based?

Cambridge. We cover Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire.

Where we work

Based in Cambridge, we cover the city and the villages around it as home ground — same-week surveys, no travel charge — and the whole of East Anglia beyond. Within roughly an hour and a half of the city we quote from a visit; further out we are happy to price from photographs first.
