So why do fascias rot or rust in Perth homes, and how long should they actually last?
The main cause is moisture. When gutters are blocked or overflowing, water backs up and sits against the timber. It rots from the inside out, so by the time you can see it, the damage is already done.
They should last 20 to 30 years. We see timber gone in under 10, almost always because gutters weren’t maintained or the timber wasn’t properly sealed on installation.
