Fascia and Soffit in Dublin at a Glance
- Fascia and soffit in Dublin are supplied and installed from €55 to €90 per metre in uPVC, with the exact rate confirmed free after a site survey.
- The work is almost always combined with gutter renewal on the same elevation, because the gutter must be removed to replace the board behind it.
- A standard Dublin three-bed semi carries roughly 15 to 20 metres of fascia front and rear combined, and most whole-house jobs take one to two days on site.
- Every full roofline replacement by Recommended Roofing & Guttering carries a 10-year written workmanship guarantee and the Lifetime Leak Guarantee.
- Rotten fascia is the most common reason a new gutter bracket will not hold on 1930s–1970s Dublin semis, where original timber board was fitted behind the gutter.
- Quotes are free with no call-out fee, and we go up and look rather than price from the driveway.
Who fits fascia and soffit in Dublin?
Recommended Roofing & Guttering fits fascia and soffit across Dublin city and county from a base at 24A Baggot Street Upper, Dublin 4. The business was founded in 2019 by Patrick Foley, employs its crews directly rather than subcontracting, and holds a 5.0★ rating across 20+ Google reviews. It is registered with the Construction Industry Register Ireland (CIRI), carries €6.5M public liability and €13M employer liability insurance, and is a member of the National Guild of Master Craftsmen and Guaranteed Irish.
The firm covers 78 named areas across North and South Dublin, from Howth, Sutton and Malahide on the north coast to Dun Laoghaire, Sandymount and Dalkey on the south. Georgian redbricks in Rathmines and Ranelagh, 1930s semis in Cabra and Terenure, 1970s estates in Tallaght and Coolock, and newer developments in Citywest and Adamstown all come with their own fascia and soffit patterns, and the crew works with each.
How much does fascia and soffit installation cost in Dublin?
Fascia and soffit are priced with the guttering when the two are done together, which is the usual case, because the gutter has to come off to reach the board. The combined roofline rate for uPVC runs from €55 to €90 per metre supplied and fitted, with the figure moving on the length of the run, the height, the access, and whether the downpipes and outlets are being renewed at the same time.
| Property type | Typical fascia/soffit length | Indicative uPVC installed |
|---|---|---|
| Terrace or small semi | ~10–15 metres | €550 – €1,300 |
| Standard three-bed semi | ~15–20 metres | €825 – €1,800 |
| Larger or detached | ~30–50 metres | €1,650 – €4,500 |
These are indicative Dublin rates for 2026, confirmed free after a site survey. Doing fascia, soffit and gutter together in one visit is considerably cheaper than doing them in two, because the scaffolding or tower is up once and the roofline is opened once.
Why fascia and soffit are almost always done with the gutter
The gutter is screwed to the fascia. If the board behind it has gone soft, there is nothing for a new bracket to bite into, and a new gutter fitted to rotten timber will pull away inside a winter. On the Dublin housing stock the firm works on most often — 1930s and 1940s semis in Cabra, Crumlin, Terenure and Clontarf — the original timber fascia has frequently taken forty years of eastern-coast weather and failed at the back edge where it meets the felt.
Where that is the case, the honest quote is one visit that strips the gutter, renews the fascia and soffit in uPVC, and refits new gutter, brackets, unions and outlets to sound board. More work on the day, but the only version of the job that stands over itself for ten years.
How do I tell if my fascia has rotted?
Four signs that mean the board has gone and a repaint will not save it:
- The gutter is sagging between brackets, especially where the bracket screws can be seen pulling out of the fascia.
- Paint is lifting or flaking in long strips rather than small patches, with soft or spongy timber underneath when pressed.
- Dark staining or green growth down the fascia below the gutter line, pointing to water tracking behind the gutter onto the board.
- Visible gaps between the fascia and the soffit, or a soffit that has started to drop at one end.
On a coastal gable in Howth, Sutton, Malahide, Clontarf, Sandymount or Dun Laoghaire the back edge of the fascia takes the worst of it, and the rot often starts there before anything shows from the ground. That is why the survey is done from a ladder, not a driveway.
What is the difference between fascia and soffit?
The fascia is the vertical board that runs along the ends of the rafters at the edge of the roof. It carries the gutter and closes the roof off at the eaves. The soffit is the horizontal board tucked underneath the fascia, bridging the gap from the fascia back to the wall, and it usually carries the vents that let the roof space breathe.
Both are replaced in uPVC on modern renewals, colour-matched to black, brown, grey or white in the common profiles. Ventilated soffit is standard on anything but a cold-roof extension, because blocking the eaves vents is the quickest way to put condensation into a loft.
How long does fascia and soffit installation take in Dublin?
Most whole-house roofline replacements on a standard Dublin three-bed semi are one to two days on site with a directly employed crew. A single elevation, say the front of a terrace in Phibsborough or a rear extension in Rathgar, is usually a day. Larger detached houses in Castleknock, Malahide or Dalkey, or any job that needs tower access rather than ladders, run longer and are quoted accordingly.
The run is tested with water before the crew leaves, so the gutter is proven to clear rather than being described as cleared.
What guarantee comes with fascia and soffit work?
Every piece of installed work carries a 10-year written workmanship guarantee, handed over in writing before contracts are signed, not promised afterwards. Where the fascia, soffit and guttering are being fully replaced together, the job also carries the Lifetime Leak Guarantee on top of the ten-year cover. A repair to a short section of rotten board, where the rest of the roofline is being left in place, is covered by the written workmanship guarantee rather than the Lifetime Leak Guarantee, which applies to full replacements only.
Insurance certificates, the CIRI registration and the VAT number (IE04393055LH) are available on request before the job is appointed, and the firm actively encourages people to check them.
How a Dublin fascia and soffit job runs
- You call or send the form. (01) 265 8463, Monday to Saturday 08:00–18:00. The form reaches the office rather than a queue.
- A free survey. No call-out fee. The crew goes up and inspects the board behind the gutter rather than pricing from the ground.
- A written quote. A breakdown of what is being renewed and what it costs, with the guarantee terms in writing before anything is signed.
- The work. Directly employed crews, usually one to two days on a semi. Old gutter and board down, new uPVC fascia and soffit fitted, new gutter, brackets, unions and outlets refitted.
- Flush and check. Water through the run before the crew leaves.
- The guarantee is handed over. Ten years in writing, plus the Lifetime Leak Guarantee where the roofline has been fully replaced.
Dublin housing stock and what it means for fascia work
- Georgian and Victorian redbrick in Rathmines, Phibsborough, Drumcondra, Portobello and Ranelagh usually carries original cast iron gutter on timber fascia. Where the cast iron is worth saving in matching sections, the fascia behind it is often the item that needs renewing.
- 1930s and 1940s semis in Cabra, Crumlin, Terenure and Clontarf are the single most common fascia and soffit job. The uPVC gutter fitted decades ago is brittle, and the timber behind it has usually gone at the back edge.
- 1970s estates in Tallaght, Clondalkin, Coolock and Ballymun often have sound board but undersized 112mm half-round gutter that overflows even clean. Here the roofline is replaced to a 125mm deep-flow profile on new or sound fascia.
- Newer developments in Citywest, Clonsilla and Adamstown are generally sound; fascia work here is usually storm-related rather than age-related.
