uPVC or wooden fascias on period cottage

Hi Lucy With the 2 options Wooden fascia will need treating/maintaining and will have to have the old fully removed and new installed but will look more suitable for a cottage property Upvc fascia will need cleaning maintenance every now and then but the old timber fascia can be left in place and capped off or remove the old timber and install a thicker upvc fascia board , you can get various different shapes for example concave,convex decorative which will bring some character to the property Hope this information has helped Many thanks D&L's Flat Roofing Limited

got to be wood upvc too moding

Manufacturing is so advanced these days you can now purchase upvc products which have been foil wrapped which gives you the colour and texture of wood (grain). Wouldn't recommend cladding over existing wood unless timber is still in good condition. I would recommend replacing wooden fascias with an 18mm thick replacement board

Personally myself for an old cottage property I would try to stick to wood facias and soffits but they do have to be maintained more than UPVC porch UPVC also needs to be maintained but not as much as wooden

With it been a Cottage id advise that you try and stick to the original wood as possible. However you can get top quality Upvc nowadays that looks great, and obviously doesn't require as much maintenance. Suppliers will supply short sample pieces so you can check your happy with the quality before having the job done
