Rotten fascia and soffit timber is best replaced in maintenance-free uPVC with ventilation built in in Melksham. Melksham is a riverside market town with a Georgian and Victorian core by the Avon and extensive 1960s–90s estates spreading out from it. On this kind of stock, the common problems are accelerated moss on riverside roofs, nail sickness on the estates, and blocked valleys under the town's mature tree cover — and knowing which you are dealing with is the difference between a lasting fix and money wasted.
Fascia and soffit replacement in Melksham is driven primarily by the age of the housing stock. The Victorian mill town and Bowerhill estates properties make up the bulk of calls — original timber fascia boards that have been painted repeatedly and finally allowed moisture to penetrate behind the paint film. Rotten fascia causes gutters to pull away, allows water ingress behind the eaves, and provides access for birds and vermin into the roof space.
UPVC fascia and soffit is our standard recommendation on most Melksham properties — no maintenance, 25-year product guarantee, and available in profiles that match most original fascia dimensions. We always assess fascia condition when attending for guttering repairs — new gutters fixed to rotten fascia boards will pull away within a few years.
We check fascia, soffit and bargeboard condition — genuinely, not through the paint — and the eaves ventilation.
Sound timber can be capped; rotten timber is replaced. We won't cap over rot.
A fixed price with fascia, soffit, guttering and access itemised.
New uPVC fitted with ventilated soffit strips or over-fascia vents to keep the loft dry.
Gutters come off to access the fascia anyway, so we renew them at the same time.

| Full roofline (three-bed semi) | 1–2 days |

Roofline work runs year-round; uPVC installation isn't weather-critical, though we won't work the eaves in high wind.
Melksham's riverside town-centre streets are tight; the outer estates off the Bath and Devizes roads have good access. Pavement scaffold and skip permits in Melksham go through Wiltshire Council; on tight streets like Bank Street, Church Street, the Market Place we allow extra time for setup and access.
Fascia and soffit work runs £100–£150 per linear metre, or £1,500–£4,000 for a full roofline. Melksham pricing tracks Chippenham, adjusted for access on Melksham's stock.

Workmanship carries our 10-year guarantee; uPVC fascia and soffit carry a 25-year manufacturer product guarantee — no painting, no maintenance.
A day or two at the eaves with some old-timber debris and gutter removal — we sheet below, protect the beds, and clear all waste. You do not need to stay home for external work.
Fascia and soffit work runs in most weather; the ventilated soffits we fit as standard protect Chippenham's older lofts from condensation. Melksham sits low on the Avon, so riverside properties see higher humidity, faster moss growth and slower drying into autumn.
"Full UPVC fascia and soffit replacement — original timber completely rotten. Done in two days, gutters repositioned to correct fall. Excellent finish."
"Soffit boards replaced after birds had been accessing the eaves. New ventilated soffit, correctly sealed. Quick, tidy job."
"Partial fascia replacement — two sections rotten. They correctly identified only two boards needed doing, not the full run. Honest and fair."
