Your fascia is positioned at the point where the roof meets the outside walls of your property - often called the ROOFLINE.

Some people also refer to it by the name of the main board that carries the gutter – the fascia or fascia board.

Fascia Board

The long straight board that runs along the lower edge of your roof – it is fixed directly to the roof trusses and supports the bottom row of tiles and all the guttering. That makes it really important – in heavy rain, the roof of a standard semi could be moving several gallons of water per second into its gutters.

Bargeboard

Used on the gable end of a house it is the part that most spoils the look of your property when it deteriorates.

Soffit Board

Tucked away under the fascia board, this is the part of the roofline that you see most of from ground level. Ventilation of the soffit board is crucial to allow the flow of air into the roof area and prevent condensation from forming in the roof void.

Boxend

The finishing touch – sometimes a work of art. It brings together the many different angles, planes and heights of the fascia, soffit and bargeboard at each corner of the house where there is a gable end.
