Fascia and Soffit Replacement in Galway

Just over half the homes in Galway are detached (59%), against 41% nationally. The towns are estates of semis and terraces; the countryside is detached houses and bungalows with four sides of eaves.

33% of Galway homes were built before 1981, 29% between 1981 and 2000 and 30% between 2001 and 2010. That's a lot of houses from the 1980s to the 2000s, the third highest share of the 26 counties: their first uPVC or painted timber boards are now 15 to 45 years old, and that's where most replacement work comes from.

Galway city gets about 1,289 mm of rain a year, December the wettest month, and Clifden about 1,526 mm. That's one of the wettest county towns in Ireland. Gutters here carry a lot of water, so the fascia behind them takes the strain: sagging gutters and soft timber show up sooner. On the Atlantic coast, wind-driven rain and salt are hard on painted timber and on cheap fixings: ask for stainless steel screws.
