Preventing Rafter Rot, Peeling Paint & Foundation Water Damage
Old wooden fascia boards rot quickly under relentless Irish rain. When wood rot takes hold, heavy gutters sag, pulling loose from the eaves and dumping thousands of gallons of rainwater directly down external wall render and foundation footings.
Elevate Roofing & Building provides full roofline overhauls. We strip back rotten timber fascias, inspect the rafter feet, treat or sister timber ends, and install solid 18mm full-replacement uPVC fascia boards with hidden ventilation. On our seamless aluminium setups, gutter runs are roll-formed on-site directly from our mobile workshop up to 30 metres in a single continuous piece — 100% leak-free with zero joint seals to ever perish.

Our Roofline Replacement Process
Old Gutter Stripping & Rafter Assessment
Old plastic/cast-iron gutters and decayed timber boards are stripped. We check and treat all structural rafter feet.
Eaves Felt Protector Tray Installation
We slide rigid PVC felt support trays beneath the lowest slate row to ensure rainwater drips squarely into the new gutter, preventing rot behind the board.
Fascia & Vented Soffit Installation
Heavy solid 18mm fascia boards and vented soffits are laser-aligned and fixed with stainless steel ring-shank nails.
Seamless Gutter Extrusion & Water Test
Gutters are roll-formed, hung with heavy internal brackets at a 1:350 fall, water flow tested, and your 20-year guarantee certificate issued.
