What is a bargeboard?

Bargeboards are available in a variety of colours, with a range of finishing options, so can make a great addition to any property no matter what style it is. You can choose to have it match your guttering, fascia and soffit colours.
Can you replace bargeboards?
Yes, we can replace bargeboards if they are damaged or look old and worn on the side of your home. However, the tiles that are cemented in place and attached to the bargeboard may also need to be replaced before fitting your new bargeboard – this entirely depends on the condition of the fascia and the roof timber underneath.
Benefits
A major functional benefit of bargeboards is that they will keep your roof lining dry and free of any gaps or holes around the edges of your roofing. The main benefit of adding bargeboards to your property is for aesthetic purposes, however, adding a great look and character to the roof line of the property.
