Roofing, Fascias & Soffits

Fascias
Fascias are the long, straight boards that run along the lower edge of the roof. Fixed directly to your roof truss, they do the important job of supporting the bottom row of roof tiles, carrying all of your guttering, which may need to cope with several gallons of water per second in a heavy downpour.

Soffits, tucked away under your fascias, are the boarding strips that can be seen from street level and typically allow for ventilation in your roof. This is particularly important, as without this ventilation, condensation can form in your roof's structure, resulting in timber decay, weakening your roof.

In order to protect your roof, it is essential that your fascias and soffits are in good condition. More Build can replace your fascias and soffits as part of a larger building project.

Internal doors
Internal doors are traditionally made from solid wood, in a range of different styles and timbers and finished in different ways. The most common are panel, flush and pressed.

Panel doors are the traditional choice and are usually made from soft or hard wood. They vary widely in terms of number and style of panel, and often include intricately carved details, which may suit period homes.

Flush types suit more contemporary homes. They are made up of a softwood frame covered with plywood or hardboard with a hollow centre and finished with hardwood edging or wood veneers.

Pressed doors are a cheaper alternative to panelled doors but mimic their look and are produced in a similar way to flush doors. They’re made from softwood or a manmade board, and are embossed to give the effect of a panelled door.
