Expert Fascias Soffits Guttering in Lostwithiel, Cornwall

It is usually quite easy to spot when your roofline has seen better days. If you see paint peeling, soft patches in the wood, or dark mould marks, your fascias and soffits are likely letting in moisture. In Plymouth, the salty air and heavy rain can speed up rot in older timber boards. If you notice any sagging or if birds and squirrels are finding their way into your loft, it’s time to get a professional look at them. Replacing these early helps you avoid much bigger bills for roof repairs further down the line.

Most of our customers across Devon and Cornwall now choose uPVC, and for good reason. Unlike traditional wood, uPVC fascias don't rot, flake, or need painting every few years. They are tough enough to handle the coastal winds and don't get damaged by the sun. Once they are up, they stay looking great with just a simple wipe down now and then. This makes them a very cost-effective choice for anyone who wants a low-maintenance home.

Leaky gutters usually happen because of blocked debris or perished seals in the joints. If you have grass or moss growing out of your gutters, a thorough gutter cleaning might be all you need to get things flowing again. However, if the plastic has warped or the brackets have snapped, a new gutter installation is often the best way to protect your walls from damp. Sky Top Roofing LTD can check the slope and condition of your pipes to see if a repair will work or if a replacement is a safer bet.

We know you don't want workmen around your house for weeks. For a standard semi-detached or terraced home in Plymouth, we can usually replace the entire roofline in one to two days. We bring our own equipment, work efficiently, and make sure we take all the old rubbish away with us. We aim to get the job done quickly so your home is protected from the weather as soon as possible.

Yes, it is often the first thing we check when a customer mentions damp. If your gutters are cracked or overflowing, water runs straight down your brickwork instead of away through the drains. Over time, this water soaks through the wall and shows up as damp patches or peeling wallpaper inside. By fitting modern, high-capacity guttering, we make sure the rain stays away from your walls, keeping your home dry and healthy.

While we do a lot of work in Plymouth, our team covers the whole of Devon and Cornwall. Whether you are in a rural cottage in the South Hams or a modern office in Truro, we can help. We have local knowledge of the different building styles across the South West, so we always use the right materials and methods for your specific location.

Because we have so many trees and quite a bit of wind in this part of the country, we suggest a professional clean at least once a year. Autumn is the best time to do this, right after the leaves have fallen. Keeping on top of gutter cleaning prevents heavy blockages that can pull your guttering away from the house or cause water to back up under your roof tiles. It’s a small bit of maintenance that saves a lot of hassle.
