Soffits and Fascias - roofing company vs. windows company

[Rufus77]

The title says it all really. We need to replace our soffits and fascias on a period property. Having looked around, it seems that both roofing companies and double glazing companies offer replacement services but which ones are best? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What material would you like to use for the replacement?

 

Is your property subject to any special control or in a conservation area?

 

Is there any fancy late Victorian or Edwardian detailing in the eaves?

If you say period property, are you now changing to plastic. 

For timber you want a carpenter, either of the above can stick some up can up and smear some silicone around.

Thanks for the replies. By period, I mean it's an old farmhouse (1930s). The existing fascias are wooden but there's no real detail in them. We'd be looking to switch to plastic (possibly wood effect) so I just wondered what type of company would be best.

1930's timber is often slow grown and in suprisingly good condition even if the paintwork is a bit flaky,  are they in poor condition as plastic can look out of place on older properties?

I would not use a large national double glazing type company under any circumstances, use a local installer who has recommendations and examples of many satisfied customers.
