Entrance Soffit Replacement — 29 Dean Road, Portsmouth PO6 3DG

Project Overview

British Builders was appointed to carry out targeted improvement works to the entrance area of a residential property in Portsmouth. The existing soffit above the front door had deteriorated, exposing structural framing and insulation, requiring a safe and aesthetically improved replacement.

Scope of Work

• Removal of the old, damaged soffit and ceiling panels above the front entrance door
• Inspection of exposed structural timbers, insulation and brickwork for stability and safety
• Installation of a new white uPVC soffit system, durable and low-maintenance
• Sealing and securing all joints and fixings to ensure full weather protection
• Improvement of the entrance appearance with a clean, modern finish that integrates with existing exterior elements

Challenges & Solutions

• Exposed insulation and ageing timber framing — Completed additional inspections and reinforced fixings to ensure safe structural support before installation.
• Weather-sensitive exterior work — Scheduled works during suitable conditions and used uPVC materials designed for long-term exterior performance.
• Maintaining resident access — Carried out all works with minimal disruption, ensuring the front entrance remained safely usable throughout the installation.

Final Outcome

The new soffit was installed within one working day, providing a stronger, safer and significantly improved entrance. The clean white uPVC finish delivers long-term weather resistance, reduced maintenance needs and a more modern appearance. The property now benefits from a tidy and fully protected entrance area.
