Fascia and Soffit Condition in Roselands
Fascias and soffits on Roselands properties face accelerated deterioration from Eastbourne's coastal salt air. Standard inland-spec UPVC shows joint failure and brittleness within 15–20 years in this environment; marine-grade UV-stabilised UPVC with stainless fixings lasts 25–35 years. UPVC installed on Roselands properties in the 1990s and early 2000s is now at or approaching end of service life. Hip mortar on 1930s stock; nail sickness on post-war; cast iron guttering assessment on period streets.
Stainless steel fixings are non-negotiable in Roselands's coastal position. Galvanised screws corrode visibly within 10 years in salt air, leaving rust staining and losing grip. Standard galvanised fixings are not appropriate for any Roselands fascia installation.
Rafter Foot Inspection in Roselands
Every fascia replacement in Roselands includes rafter foot inspection. Fascia deterioration often means the rafter feet behind have absorbed moisture. We document condition with photographs and include any required repairs in the quote before work proceeds. Fitting new fascia to a rotten rafter foot solves nothing and creates the same problem again within 2–3 years.
