Signs that your wooden gables and soffits need restoration

Not as much as a sash or casement windows, wooden gables and soffits are exposed to the elements and can experience damage over time.

It’s important to watch for signs of wear and tear, as neglecting these issues can lead to more extensive damage and costly repairs down the line to roof structures.

Here are some visible signs that your wooden gables and soffits may need restoration:

Rotting or decay: If you notice soft spots, discolouration, or fungus growth on your gables or soffits, this could be a sign of rotting or decay. This can weaken the structure and compromise its integrity.
Cracks or splits: Wooden gables and soffits can develop cracks or splits over time. These can allow moisture to seep in, leading to further damage and decay.
Peeling or chipping paint: Peeling or chipping paint can indicate that your wooden gables and soffits are exposed to moisture and may be at risk for rotting or decay.
Pest infestations: Insects such as termites or carpenter ants can cause damage to wooden gables and soffits, leading to structural issues if not addressed.
Sagging or warping: If your wooden gables or soffits are sagging or warping, this can be a sign of structural damage that requires restoration.

The Restoration Process

At Surrey Sash Windows Specialists, we take pride in our meticulous restoration process:

Step 1: Inspection

The first step in our restoration process is to conduct a thorough inspection of the exterior woodwork and soffits – we do this during our first quote meeting.

This involves identifying any signs of rot, cracks or other wear and tear that require attention.

Step 3: Repair

Our technicians then proceed with any necessary repairs, which can involve replacing entire sections of the gables and soffits or simply filling in small cracks or holes.

We use high-quality materials such as repair care wood fillers and other types of epoxy wood fillers to ensure that the repairs are long-lasting and structurally sound.

Step 4: Priming and Painting

The wooden soffits and gables undergo a priming and painting process aimed at achieving a durable and attractive finish.

Our team uses top-quality primer to enhance paint adhesion and prevent moisture intrusion.
