Fascias, soffits and gutters are important for protecting your home against water ingress and damage. Consequently, it is vital to choose high-quality products which offer the best level of performance. However, gutters, fascias and soffits also affect the look of your Portsmouth or Worthing property, so you will want products which enhance kerb appeal.

Metal

Metal fascias, soffits and gutters are more expensive but offer excellent strength, longevity and style. Metal products can experience rust, but the risk of this is minimised with professional installation and maintenance.

Types of metal gutters, fascias and soffits are:

  • Aluminium

    affordable, low maintenance and recyclable

  • Cast iron

    traditional appearance, durable and recyclable but heavy

  • Galvanised steel

    relatively cheap, strong and attractive but can be prone to rust

  • Copper

    low maintenance and develops a natural patina

  • Zinc

    grey patina which is resistant to UV and corrosion

Metal rooflines are fire-resistant and offer excellent protection against pests such as insects and rodents. Furthermore, metal roofline products are available in a range of colours and styles, making it easy to find a product that complements the look of your home in Portsmouth or Worthing.

However, metal fascias, soffits and gutters are typically more expensive than uPVC or wood, so may not be suitable for those on a tighter budget. Additionally, some types of metal require more maintenance than others, such as cast iron which needs painting periodically to prevent rust.

When it comes to choosing a material for your new gutters, fascias and soffits, there are a few factors to consider:

  • Your budget

  • The style of your property

  • Maintenance requirements

  • Durability and lifespan

  • Environmental impact

It is always worth talking to the professionals for advice to find the best fit for your home in Portsmouth or Worthing.
