The Complete Guide to Soffit & Fascia Painting

Soffits and fascias are key elements of your home’s exterior, protecting your roof, walls, and guttering from the elements. Over time, they can fade, peel, or become weathered, affecting both appearance and durability.

At JUSTHIRE, we make it easy to book professional soffit and fascia painting services. Whether you’re refreshing worn surfaces or protecting timber and PVC, this guide will help you understand the process and what to expect.

What Is Soffit & Fascia Painting?

Soffit and fascia painting involves cleaning, preparing, and applying protective paint to the horizontal and vertical boards under the roofline.

Common surfaces include:

🪵 Fascia Boards – Vertical boards that hold gutters and cover roof ends.
🪵 Soffit Boards – Horizontal boards under the eaves that allow ventilation.
🪵 Gutter Edges and Timber Trim – Paint can extend the life and improve the appearance.

Proper painting not only enhances curb appeal but also protects against rot, damp, and UV damage.

Why Paint Soffits and Fascias?

Painting soffits and fascias is more than cosmetic. It helps protect key parts of your home’s structure.

✅ Weather Protection – Shields timber and PVC from rain, sun, and frost.
✅ Prevent Rot & Decay – Stops moisture from penetrating timber boards.
✅ Improve Appearance – Fresh paint keeps your roofline looking neat and maintained.
✅ Extend Lifespan – Proper maintenance can save costly repairs in the future.

Steps to Paint Soffits and Fascias

Professional painters follow these steps to ensure a durable finish:

1. Inspect & Clean – Remove dirt, debris, moss, and any loose paint.

2. Repair Surfaces – Fill cracks or replace damaged sections before painting.

3. Sand & Smooth – Smooth timber or PVC surfaces for better paint adhesion.

4. Prime – Apply a primer suitable for timber or PVC surfaces.

5. Paint – Two coats of high-quality exterior paint or specialist PVC paint for long-lasting protection.

Proper preparation ensures your soffits and fascias not only look good but remain protected for years.

Choosing the Right Paint

Not all paints are suitable for soffits and fascias. Consider:

🎨 Exterior Acrylic Paint – Durable and weather-resistant for timber surfaces.
🎨 PVC or UPVC Paint – Specifically formulated for plastic soffits and fascias.
🎨 UV-Resistant Coatings – Helps prevent fading and discolouration in sunny areas.
