If you stand on your front doorstep and look up at your roof, the first thing you are likely to see is the soffit.  The soffit is a key part of the roofline the most visible element from the ground apart from the guttering itself.  If you need replacement soffits in Southampton, then The Fascia Company are your local experts to carry out the work.

What does a soffit do?

Soffit is a French term that means ‘something fixed underneath’ but it does a bit more than that.  Soffits are most often seen on roofs, but they can also be under porches, columns or even under a flight of stairs.  They can be made from lots of materials but in the roofline, they are often made from timber.  In recent times, though, experts in roofs have been recommending a new material for soffits – PVC.

The soffit is designed to protect the eaves of the house, the last of the roof beams that would otherwise be exposed to the weather.  They work alongside the fascias to protect the internal parts of the house and create a space for guttering to be attached.
