Gutters, fascia and soffit: what the job involves

Repairing or replacing gutters, downpipes, fascia and soffit boards — the rainwater goods and the boards behind them at the eaves. Most Irish houses now have uPVC; older ones may have cast iron or timber fascia that has rotted.

How long it takes: One or two days for a typical house; a full fascia and soffit replacement, a third storey or rotten rafter ends add time.

County Kerry: what the figures say

38.8% of households in County Kerry live in homes built before 1981 — below the national figure of 40.7%, and the 12th highest share of the 26 counties.
Roofs on houses of that age were usually laid on bitumen felt rather than a breathable membrane and many are on their original covering, so one repair often turns up others — ask for photographs.
