Why it matters
The fascia is what the gutter hangs on. Once the timber behind it has gone soft the brackets have nothing to hold, and the problem stops being the boards and starts being the roof edge.
Working in Ilkley
Ilkley is stone-built Victorian spa villas and substantial detached houses, with a well-preserved centre. Moor-edge properties green up fastest on this patch — the same roof here will carry visibly more growth than its twin fifteen miles east.
How the job runs
Strip the old boards and expose the rafter feet, which is the only way to see what state they are actually in.
From there the method is the same wherever we do it — the fascias and soffits page sets out all five stages, and what a proper job includes.
What it costs in Ilkley
What we are usually quoting in Ilkley is substantial stone detached houses and Victorian villas, generally larger than the patch average — and that is half the price on its own, because it sets the size of the job.
The other half is access: usually generous — big plots and room to work — but the properties are tall, so the reach is the limiting factor rather than the space.
Every quote is free and fixed before anything starts, and there is no call-out fee. As a guide, £1,200–£3,000 for a typical three-bedroom house is the typical range for this work in the UK — including guttering; rafter repairs are additional. That is the market rather than a quote: yours is priced on your actual property, and the fascias and soffits page lists everything that moves it.
When to do it
Any time of year, weather permitting. It wants a dry run because the roof edge is open while the work is going on.
The town sits directly under the moor, which means more rain, more shade and appreciably more moss than the towns out in the Vale. Ilkley is about 13 miles from our base in Harrogate, comfortably inside the patch we cover.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How to tell if fascia board is rotten?
Press it. Sound timber resists; rotten timber gives, and a screwdriver goes in without much effort. The other signs are paint flaking in sheets, a gutter that has started to sag away from the boards, dark staining running down from the gutter line, and birds getting in at the soffit.
How much does it cost to fit new soffits and fascias?
Typically £1,200 to £3,000 for a three-bedroom house including new guttering. What moves it is the length of the run, the number of gables and corners, the access, and how much of the rafter ends behind the boards turn out to need cutting back.
