Fascia and eaves repairSydney
The fascia is what your gutters hang from. When a leaking gutter rots it, the gutter starts to pull away. We replace damaged fascia and eaves so the whole roof edge is sound again.
- Timber fascia replaced and primed
- Colorbond metal fascia and fascia covers
- Eaves lining repaired and sealed
How fascia damage happens
Timber fascia boards rot where water gets behind the gutter: at leaking joints, where the gutter overflows at the back, and at the ends where boards meet. Paint hides it for a while. The first visible signs are usually bubbling paint, a gutter bracket working loose, or a soft spot you can push a screwdriver into.
Eaves lining suffers next. Sheets sag, stain or drop when water tracks in from above.
Our fascia and eaves repairs
Short sections of rot can be cut out and replaced with primed timber. Where damage is widespread, the board is replaced in full or covered with a Colorbond metal fascia that never needs painting. Eaves lining is replaced with new fibre cement sheet and finished ready to paint.
About asbestos. Eaves on many Sydney homes built before 1990 are lined with asbestos cement sheet. It is safe when intact and painted, but must not be drilled, sanded or broken. If we suspect asbestos we will say so, and removal is done by a licensed asbestos contractor.
Fascia repairs are best done at the same time as gutter replacement, while the gutters are off.

Fascia & eaves repair: common questions
Can new gutters be fixed to an old fascia?
Only if the timber is sound. Brackets screwed into rotten fascia will loosen and the gutter will lose its fall. We check the fascia during every replacement and quote any repairs up front.
Is metal fascia better than timber?
Colorbond metal fascia does not rot and needs no painting, so it is the usual choice on newer homes and for covering tired timber. Timber is still used where a period home needs to keep its original look.
Do my eaves contain asbestos?
If the house was built before 1990 it is possible. Only a laboratory test can confirm it. Intact, painted sheets are low risk, but any work that disturbs them must follow NSW asbestos rules.
