Rotten Fascia Replacement
Soft, split or rotting fascia boards are removed and replaced with new treated timber, cut and joined neatly at corners. Rafter ends are checked while exposed, and any minor rot is addressed before the new board goes on.

The fascia is the board along the edge of the roof that your gutters are fixed to. On many West Auckland homes it's timber, and after decades of wet winters, overflowing spouting and the odd missed paint job, it can rot from behind where you can't see it. Once that happens, gutter brackets lose their grip, runs start to sag, and water gets into the rafter ends and soffit linings. Our fascia and gutter replacement in West Auckland renews both together, fixing the whole roofline in one go.
Doing both at once makes practical sense. The gutters have to come off to replace the fascia anyway, so it's the ideal time to fit new spouting rather than putting old, tired gutters back up on fresh timber. You get one set of access equipment, one tidy-up and a roofline that looks new. If only the soffits or a short length of fascia need attention, our fascia and soffit repair service may suit better.
We replace timber fascia with new treated, pre-primed timber, or with steel systems where the gutter and fascia are combined into one COLORSTEEL® profile. Steel fascia-gutter systems suit modern homes and remove the need to ever paint that edge again. Whichever route you choose, we check the rafter ends while everything is open, and coordinate with your re-roofing project if the roof is being replaced at the same time.

A complete roof-edge renewal, from the timber behind the gutters to the downpipes below.
Soft, split or rotting fascia boards are removed and replaced with new treated timber, cut and joined neatly at corners. Rafter ends are checked while exposed, and any minor rot is addressed before the new board goes on.
With fresh fascia in place, we install new spouting in the profile and colour of your choice, set to a proper fall. Brackets are fixed into sound timber, so the gutters stay straight and secure for the long term.
Combined COLORSTEEL® fascia-gutter systems replace both timber fascia and external spouting with a single clean profile. They suit modern homes, never need painting and give a crisp, continuous line along the roof edge that stays sharp for years.
Water damage from failed gutters often reaches the soffit lining under the eaves. We replace stained, sagging or damaged soffit panels while the roofline is open, leaving the underside of the eaves as tidy as the edge.
Barge boards on gable ends suffer the same rot as fascia, especially where they meet the gutter. We replace them as part of the job where needed, so the whole roofline is renewed in one consistent material and finish.
If you're re-roofing, fascia and gutters are best replaced at the same time. We coordinate the work with the roof so flashings, gutters and the roof edge all finish together properly, with no awkward patch-ups later.
Most fascia rot starts with the gutter. When spouting overflows, leaks at joints or holds water against the board, the back of the fascia stays damp for long periods. Paint can't protect timber that's wet from behind, and in West Auckland's mild, humid climate decay sets in quickly. Older homes built with untreated or lightly treated timber are especially prone.
Signs to look for include paint peeling or bubbling along the roof edge, gutters that have pulled away or sag, gaps opening between the fascia and soffit, and soft timber you can push a screwdriver into. Left unchecked, rot can spread into rafter ends and the top of the wall framing, turning a straightforward roofline job into more involved structural repairs.
We handle the timber and the gutters in one job, so there's no waiting between trades and no gap between the fascia going up and the new spouting being fitted. Your roof edge is never left exposed for long.
With the old boards off, we check rafter ends and wall tops for decay. Anything beyond routine replacement is shown to you and discussed with you before work continues, along with options and costs for fixing it.
Choose new treated timber fascia with your preferred gutters, or a combined COLORSTEEL® fascia-gutter system. We'll explain the look, cost and long-term maintenance of each so you can choose what suits your home.
New fascia, gutters, barge boards and soffits together give the outside of your home a crisp, straight edge that lifts its whole appearance from the street and protects the timber behind for years to come.

Answers to the questions West Auckland homeowners ask us most about fascia and gutter replacement.
Yes, if the fascia is sound, straight and well fixed. We check it when the old gutters come off. If it's rotten or split, fixing new gutters to it is a false economy, because the brackets won't hold and the timber will keep deteriorating.
Look for peeling or blistered paint, dark staining, sagging gutters and gaps where the fascia meets the soffit. If you can reach it safely, press a screwdriver into the timber. If it sinks in easily, the board is likely rotten.
Steel fascia-gutter systems don't rot and never need painting, and they give a clean modern look. Timber suits character homes and lets you keep the traditional appearance of separate fascia and spouting. The best choice depends on your house style and budget.
Minor rot at the rafter ends can often be cut back and repaired as part of the job. If damage is more extensive, we'll show you what we've found and discuss the repair before carrying on, so there are no surprises on the final bill.
Replacing fascia and gutters like-for-like is generally maintenance work that doesn't need a building consent. Structural repairs to rafters or changes to the roof may be different, and we'll let you know if anything in your job falls outside routine replacement.
Peeling paint along the roof edge, sagging gutters or soft fascia boards are all signs your roofline needs attention.
