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 Otley
Otley is a gritstone market town centre with Victorian terraces and a spread of later housing along the valley. A valley town with a genuinely mixed roofscape, so the right method here is decided property by property rather than street by street.
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 Otley
What we are usually quoting in Otley is a mix of stone terraces in the centre and post-war semis on the estates around it — and that is half the price on its own, because it sets the size of the job.
The other half is access: straightforward on the estates; tighter in the old centre, where the yards behind the terraces are narrow and some are shared.
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 Chevin shelters part of the town and shades the rest, and the Wharfe keeps the valley floor damp. Otley is about 11 miles from our base in Harrogate, comfortably inside the patch we cover.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How often should fascia be replaced?
uPVC fascias last twenty-five years or more and often outlive the guttering on them. Timber needs painting every four to six years and lasts as long as that is kept up. In practice most replacements happen because a gutter leaked for years and rotted the board behind it, not because the board reached an age.
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.
