St Ives sits on the Great Ouse, and the damp riverside microclimate means fascias and soffits on properties here take a harder beating than many people expect.
The town has a strong stock of Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses in the older streets near the famous medieval bridge, as well as extensive 1970s and 1980s estates on the outskirts toward Hemingford Grey and Houghton. Older timber fascias on the period properties are frequently found to be soft with rot once the paint is stripped back, while the original uPVC on 1980s homes has often become brittle and discoloured after 40 years of UV exposure.
Overflowing gutters on riverside and low-lying roads in St Ives can push water back into soffits and wall cavities remarkably quickly. We replace and re-run guttering systems to ensure proper fall and drainage, and we leave no mess behind. Book a free roofline inspection with our team.
