Around the country
Prices we've seen county by county
Prices follow the house more than the county, but these are real quotes from around Ireland, so you can see the spread. Most semis land between €1,000 and €2,500 for the boards before anything unexpected turns up.
- Cork: A Cork quote for fascia, soffit, gutters and a downpipe on a 3-bed semi, in standard white or black, came to €1,600 to €1,800 plus VAT, with any backing-board repairs extra.
- Offaly: Offaly quotes we've seen: €1,200 to €1,500 ex VAT for the boards on a single-storey semi (front, back and one gable), and €2,000 to €2,500 for boards and gutters on a two-storey semi.
- Dublin: Dublin quotes we've seen: €1,500 to €2,500 for a three-sided roofline on a semi, and about €180 a metre for new gutters, fascia and soffit together. A 4-bed semi with a single-storey garage came to about €3,000 all in.
- Laois: Laois quotes we've seen run from about €1,000 plus VAT for white boards, gutters and downpipes on a 3-bed semi to €6,500 plus VAT for a large house, which is why a written price after a look matters.
- Wexford: One Wexford price list: €1,500 for a mid-terrace, €2,150 for a semi and €2,750 for a detached house, in white or black. Dark brown can fade, so most people pick white, black or anthracite.
- Meath: A Meath quote for fascia and soffit on a standard 3-bed semi was €1,000 to €1,300 ex VAT, with half paid up front and half on completion.
- Kilkenny: A Kilkenny quote for fascia, soffit and gutters on a semi came to between €2,500 and €3,000.
What moves the price
Five things that change it
- Metres of roofline. A mid-terrace has eaves front and back. A detached house has four sides and often bargeboards on the gables. Boards cost €45 to €98 a metre fitted.
- Height and access. A two-storey or awkward roofline may need a tower or scaffold: a few hundred euro to about €2,000.
- Gutters. Doing them at the same time takes a semi to €1,000 to €4,500. See gutters and fascia.
- Rot. Rotten rafter ends or backing boards only show once the old boards come off. Agree in writing how they'll be priced before work starts.
- Colour and finish. Standard white or black is the base price. Oak woodgrain can be up to twice that.
VAT
Ask if VAT is in
Repair and maintenance of a house is charged at the reduced VAT rate of 13.5%. Plenty of quotes are "plus VAT". On a €2,000 job the difference is €270, so ask for the written price to state it.
Comparing quotes
How to compare two prices
Two quotes for the same house can be €1,000 apart because they're not for the same job. Check each one lists: fascia, soffit and bargeboards; vented soffit; gutters and downpipes, new or refitted; taking away the old boards; scaffolding; what happens if rot is found; the guarantee; and VAT. The same list, line for line, makes the price clear.

FAQ
Questions we get asked
How much is fascia and soffit per metre in Ireland?
€45 to €98 a metre for the boards, supplied and fitted. New gutters, fascia and soffit together come to about €180 a metre.
Does the price include scaffolding?
Not always. A two-storey or awkward roofline may need a tower or scaffold, adding a few hundred euro to about €2,000. Ask for it as its own line.
Why are quotes so different?
Different scope. One price may include gutters, downpipes, bargeboards, scaffolding and VAT, and another none of them.
How should I pay?
Agree it in writing before work starts. A common split is half up front and half on completion, against a fixed written price.
Is there a grant?
Not for fascia and soffit on its own. With SEAI's external wall insulation grant the soffits usually need adjusting anyway, so plan the two together.
