Our local roofers’ core services include:
As professional roofing contractors, we perform vital installation and repair work on roofline systems. The roofline is the area where the roof meets the wall. Below, the team at Abingdon Felt Roofing will explain the core components of a roofline system and the functions each serves for your roof.
Fascia boards run horizontally along the roof's edge and are attached to the ends of the rafters. Functionally, they support the bottom row of roof tiles and hold up the guttering. Additionally, given their visibility on the side of your Banbury property, fascias should also be aesthetically appealing, like flat roofing installations. Like our flat, pitched, and felt roof repairs, our local roofers install fascias in a variety of materials. Some options include wood, PVC and aluminium. We offer roof cleaning to keep your roof in top condition.
Soffit boards are similar in design and manufacture to fascias. They’re long boards that run underneath the edge of the roof, sealing the overhang between the fascias and the wall. Soffits provide vital protection for the rafters, preventing rain, moisture and wildlife from entering your roof space. Soffits are available in different weights, sizes and ventilated and non-ventilated options. However, under current building regulations, new roof installations and roof replacements are supposed to have adequate ventilation to help prevent the build-up of condensation. Therefore, installing ventilated soffits is a way to ensure this for your roofing system.
Probably the most well-recognised component of a roofline system, gutters are shallow troughs attached to the fascia boards that line the edge of the roof. Their purpose is to divert water, waste and other substances away from the roofing system and into the property’s drainage system. This prevents your roof from becoming damaged and experiencing leaks. Like fascias and soffits, guttering can be made from many different materials, including aluminium, steel, vinyl and copper.
