Metal Fascia Installation and Repairs
Fascia Installation
Do you need professional metal fascia installation or roof repair services? Fascia is the part of the house where the roof meets the walls. The bottom edge of the roof is supported by fascia and the gutters are fixed to it to take away the rainwater effectively.
Why fascia installation is important?
Installation of a new fascia is an integral part of a new home build. Earlier, it was done with timber by the carpentry team. Now metal fascia installation is used in most new builds and is installed by an experienced plumber often specialised in roof plumbing.
Advances in Colorbond and Durakote roofing steel technology, improved fire rating protections and improvements in installation techniques make steel fascia a much better long-term solution, not to mention being more cost-effective in the short and long term.
Colorbond and Durakote fascia are stronger than timber, yet more adjustable. It is impervious to weather and does not need re-painting as timber fascia often does, and often comes with a 20-year manufacturer’s warranty
Fascia Repair
Assessing the state of your fascia is a key service that Bennett’s Gutters provides, as the fascia is so integral to the overall performance of your roof in keeping your house and your family dry and healthy.
At Bennett’s Gutters, we offer a range of fascia repair solutions including repairs or replacement of both timber and steel fascia, but also installing a protective steel fascia cover in the colour of your choice can often be an option.
Fascia Board Cover
There is a readily available product that we often recommend called fascia board cover. It is specially designed to be installed over top of existing damaged fascias. This product comes highly recommended for many uses and we can explain the details during our free consultations.
When to go for fascia repair?
1.Moisture Damage
Leaking gutters are the number one cause of damage to timber fascia’s. General exposure to the outside elements can also cause damage to timber fascia. Wet and rotted fascia can allow birds and possums to get into your roof and nest. Steel fascia will tolerate leaking gutters for a longer period of time, but a leaky gutter can still cause damage and should be repaired on time.
2.Mould
Fascia board covers that are routinely wet are more susceptible to mould and rot problems.
3.Holes
Small holes may occur over time in your Fascia. The good part is that the very small holes can be covered. But in the event of facing large holes, it would be ideal to go for a new fascia installation.
4.Animal Damage
Animals in your roof can lead to general damage and issues. Not to forget the thumping and squawking noises at all hours. Animals can also get through rotted timber.
5.Sun Damage
The sun can also contribute to the damage and deterioration of timber fascia. Metal fascia and Fascia board covers are much more resistant to the above issues and should be considered for both new and existing homes.
