Cost of fascia, soffit & gutters

Curiousness99

Thanks, the second quote was for treated board rather than marine ply, according to the fitter it’s better, heard some say marine and some say treated is better, I’ve no idea

Hi all,

I'm looking to get the fascia, soffit and gutters done on a 2 storey house in Tipperary.

Would anyone have any recommendations on who to price with?

Thanks

Yes got done for 3k all in for upvc gutters, downpipes, fascia, soffit. Not the cheapest quote I got at all but very happy with the workmanship and the finish. I have a 4 bed two story semi detached house with a single story garage and playroom to the side in dublin just an FYI for reference. You can pm me if you want the name of the company. Hope that helps.

got something similar done last year, Co Clare removed 3 rows of tiles from the gable end and from bottom, front and back. Replaced some timbers, new felt (or whatever material it is), replaced about 40 tiles that were damaged and then put everything back. Total cost was 5k including scaffolding. An excellent job , we are happy with it.

Hi everyone, just looking to clarify……with this type of job, is it standard practice to just cover the existing wooden fascia and soffit with new UPVC, or is it more usual to remove and fully replace the old timber first?

I got a quote for just under €3,000, and when I asked if that included disposal of the old wood fascia and soffit, the contractor said there’d be no disposal — they simply tack the new UPVC over the existing timber thats there allready

I'm a bit confused — is that normal?

Also, in regard to replacing the soffits etc before the work, the contractor recommended actually replacing these at the end of the job when the EWI was in place so as the plaster / render doesnt splash on the new UPVC so he wants to time it till the last day or so of job while the scaffolding is in place.

If the wood is sound, I can't see the issue with it, that's how most are done (including my own). The only issue i would have had is that they place the "vent" pieces in the new PVC soffit and there was no ventilation cut in the wood behind them.

When I was getting EWI fitted I removed the soffit pieces, let the lads do the EWI up to the timber, cut all of the soffit pieces down to 110mm and re-fitted them. Turned out quite well. I also used a hole saw and cut vents into the soffit as I went along. So your contractor is correct there, get the EWI done first.

The soffit vents were about €0.80/each and an old hole saw set from lidl cut the timer perfectly. (https://www.goodwins.ie/products/Circular-Soffit-Vent-70mm-White.html?name=soffit%20vent&type=simple)

If I was doing it over, I would remove the timber soffits, bring the EWI insulation as high as possible, then replace the soffits with PVC soffits, which would be a slightly better job over all, but needs a bit more coordination.

Ah sound Dilbert, thank you for the info, I didnt realise it was just simply attaching to exisiting trim . Im sure they will make proper holes in it, hopefully 😁.
