Fascia & Soffit Repairs Stop Rot Before It Takes Your Gutters Down

Fascia boards carry the weight of every gutter, downpipe and litres of stormwater that hits the roof. When the timber starts to rot - usually from gutter overflow, blocked downpipes or birds nesting in damaged soffits - the gutters lose their fixing, water tracks behind them into the wall cavity, and what started as a $1,500 fascia replacement becomes a $15,000 ceiling-and-wall-cavity repair.

Tradetek's roofers replace damaged fascia in three main materials: Colorbond steel (most common - 30+ year life, matches gutter profiles), uPVC (lowest maintenance, ideal for hard-to-access two-storey eaves), and treated H3 hardwood (heritage and federation homes where the look matters). Soffit replacement uses 4.5mm fibre cement (Hardiflex/Villaboard) or vented uPVC sheet where additional roof ventilation is needed - particularly important in Sydney's winter condensation conditions.

Typical 2026 Sydney pricing: Colorbond fascia from $90-$130 per linear metre supplied and installed, uPVC fascia $110-$160/lm, treated hardwood $140-$220/lm. Soffit replacement runs $75-$140/m² depending on access and whether vented panels are used. Most single-storey jobs are completed in 1-2 days; two-storey work needs scaffold and runs 3-5 days.

We coordinate fascia work with gutter and downpipe replacement when both are due - it's 20-30% cheaper to do them together than as separate jobs, and you only pay one scaffold/access charge. Every replacement is sealed at the wall junction with appropriate flashing, and you receive photos of the structural timber underneath so there's no doubt about what was found and what was fixed.

We service Sydney metro, Northern Beaches, North Shore, Hills District, Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, Sutherland Shire, the Central Coast and Newcastle. All work backed by 10-year workmanship warranty plus manufacturer warranty on the boards themselves.
