Fascias and soffits cost £80 on average in the UK. Most jobs fall between £50 and £130 per metre. Job type: uPVC capping over sound timber £50 to £70, uPVC fascia only £55 to £85, uPVC fascia and soffit £70 to £105. Prices reviewed June 2026.
Replacing fascias and soffits is priced by the metre of roofline, supplied and fitted. Access and the number of storeys drive the cost as much as the materials, which is why it is often done with the guttering.

Fascias and soffits cost by job type
What gets replaced matters more than the material. Capping over sound timber is the cheapest route. A full strip-and-replace with new guttering is the dearest, and the best value per metre while the access is already up.
| Job type | Cost per metre of roofline | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| uPVC capping over sound timber | £50 to £70 | Cheapest. Only if the timber underneath is sound |
| uPVC fascia only, fully replaced | £55 to £85 | Old timber stripped out, new board fitted |
| uPVC fascia and soffit | £70 to £105 | The usual full job, with eaves ventilation |
| Timber, replaced and painted | £75 to £125 | Conservation areas and period homes. Needs repainting |
| Fascia, soffit and guttering together | £90 to £130 | Most work for the money while the scaffold is up |

Common questions
How much do fascias and soffits cost?
Supplied and fitted, uPVC fascias and soffits are typically £50 to £130 per metre including access, so a typical semi of around 25 metres is roughly £1,200 to £2,800.
How long do uPVC fascias last?
A uPVC roofline is generally put at 25 to 35 years, and a premium system more, against 10 to 20 years for painted timber that is actually kept painted. That gap is the whole reason for capping or replacing in uPVC: timber wants sanding and repainting roughly every three years, and once the paint fails and water gets behind a board the rot spreads to the ones next to it. Worth knowing that the published figures for uPVC come mostly from the firms who fit it, so treat the top of that range as a sheltered-elevation best case rather than a promise.
Do you need scaffolding to replace fascias and soffits?
On anything above a bungalow, usually yes: it is roofline work done at the eaves, and towers or scaffold add £10 to £30 per metre to the job. This is why fascias, soffits and guttering are usually done together, one lot of access for all three.
How much does it cost to replace fascias, soffits and guttering together?
Roughly £75 to £190 per metre all-in: fascias and soffits at £50 to £130 per metre plus £25 to £60 for new guttering while the access is up. For a typical semi with about 25 metres of roofline that lands around £1,900 to £4,700, comfortably cheaper than doing the two jobs separately.
Is capping over old fascias a good idea?
Cap-over boards are cheaper because the old timber stays put, and they are fine when that timber is sound and dry. Capping damp or rotten fascia traps the problem where you can no longer see it, and the rot continues into the rafter feet. If a fitter proposes capping, ask them to show you the timber condition first.
Can I replace fascias and soffits myself?
It is doable on a bungalow or single-storey section, and doing your own labour saves a chunk of the £50 to £130 per metre. The problem is height and access, since this is roofline work usually needing a tower or scaffold, and a fall from a ladder is a serious risk. Tucking the felt and boards in neatly at the eaves is fiddly, so on a two-storey house most people are better paying a roofline fitter.
