The Challenge

When the homeowner first explained their vision for closing off the open eaves with black gloss materials, we weren’t sure how it would look on their specific house style. Open eaves are a traditional feature on many UK homes, letting air flow through the roof space. Removing this feature for a sleek, closed design was an unusual request, but the homeowner was set on giving their home a more contemporary appearance.

Our Solution

Custom Measurements

We took exact measurements of the existing eaves to design a fascia and soffit system that would properly fit the roof structure. This careful planning helped make sure the roof’s ventilation would still work correctly despite the visual change.

Black Gloss Installation

We fitted high-quality black gloss fascia boards and soffit panels along the entire roofline. The shiny black finish created a sharp contrast against the home’s exterior walls. We paid special attention to corners and joins to keep everything looking neat.

Changed Perspective

Though we started with some doubts about the design choice, the completed project changed our minds. The sleek black trim added a modern touch that really updated the home’s appearance while offering better protection from birds and weather.

The Results

The finished project transformed the house more dramatically than we expected. The black gloss fascia created clean, defined lines against the roof and walls, giving the whole property a more current look. This relatively small change had a big impact on the home’s curb appeal.

The homeowner plans to make other updates to the property, and this new roofline will set the style for those future changes. The black trim provides a striking accent that can be picked up in other exterior features like doors, windows, or guttering.
