UPVC Capping
Existing timber boards still sound? We cap them with UPVC for a fresh, maintenance-free finish.
- No need for full replacement if timber is sound
- Maintenance-free — no painting ever again
- Fixed pricing with no hidden extras
A Cost-Effective Alternative to Full Replacement
If your timber fascias, soffits and bargeboards are structurally sound but tired-looking — peeling paint, faded colour, surface weathering — full replacement may not be necessary. UPVC capping involves fitting slim UPVC cover boards over your existing timber, giving you a clean, fresh finish that never needs painting and will last for decades.
Radiant Roofing carries out UPVC capping across Kent, Sussex and Surrey. We inspect your existing timber boards to confirm they are structurally suitable for capping, prepare the surfaces and fit colour-matched UPVC capping boards over the top. The result is a maintenance-free roofline at a lower cost than full replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
UPVC capping typically costs between £200 and £2,000 depending on how much roofline needs covering. Capping the fascias on a single elevation costs £200 to £500, while a full-property fascia, soffit and bargeboard capping job runs £1,000 to £2,000. It is typically 30 to 50 percent cheaper than full replacement.
If the timber underneath is structurally sound, capping gives you the same weatherproof, maintenance-free finish as full replacement at a lower cost. However, if the timber is rotten, soft or significantly damaged, capping is not suitable — the new UPVC needs a solid base to fix to. We always inspect the timber first and will be honest about which approach is right.
UPVC capping boards typically last 20 to 30 years with no maintenance. They will not rot, peel, crack or need painting. The longevity depends partly on the condition of the timber underneath, which is why we inspect it carefully before recommending capping.
We cover Kent, East Sussex, West Sussex and Surrey. Our teams regularly carry out UPVC capping in Tunbridge Wells, Crowborough, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Uckfield, Haywards Heath, East Grinstead and surrounding areas.
