Is Fascias & Soffits the Right Fix?
The roofline — fascias, soffits and the guttering they carry — protects the whole roof edge. On Winchester’s post-war estates the original softwood is now often at end of life. Here is how to tell. On Oliver’s Battery properties, oliver’s Battery mixes post-war and modern housing on a hilltop, with generally good access.
Peeling paint and visibly soft or rotten fascia timber
Guttering sagging because the fascia behind it has failed
Gaps or holes in the soffit where birds or wasps get in
Staining on the wall below the roofline
Original painted softwood on a 1960s–80s estate property
When it is not needed: If the timber is dry and sound, capping over it in uPVC is a valid, cheaper option — full replacement is only necessary once the timber has rotted. Read the full guide.

Access
Getting Safely onto Oliver’s Battery Roofs
Roofline work runs from towers or ladders on most semis; taller or detached properties may need scaffold. Scaffold is specified for: two-storey detached fronts, three-storey terraces, or combined roofline-and-roof work - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Oliver’s Battery mixes post-war and modern housing on a hilltop, with generally good access. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Winchester City Council; allow a few working days on streets like Oliver’s Battery Road, Ridgeway where space is tight.

Good to know
Living Around the Work
A day or two of eaves-level work, no internal access, a modest amount of old-timber debris cleared as we go. You do not need to stay home for external work — just power and access agreed in advance.
The work is external and largely weatherproof, but we protect open eaves overnight if a run is not finished. One of the highest points around the city — notably wind-exposed on ridges and verges.
