Roofline conditions in St. Thomas
St. Thomas sits roughly 15 km inland from Lake Erie on the Elgin plateau. The practical effect is south and southwest driven rain: the lake-side elevation of a house here takes more wind-driven water than the equivalent wall in London, and that is where seam and J-channel detailing matters most.
At the roof edge that translates into ice and snow loading on the trough and the fascia, and into how much intake air the soffit has to carry through a long heating season.
About 30 minutes south of London down Highbury Avenue or Wellington Road.
How soffit and fascia is done properly
- Soffit is attic intake air. Undersizing the vented percentage starves the roof of intake and shows up as ice damming and attic frost in February, not as a siding problem.
- Fascia capping over rotted wood fascia hides the rot rather than fixing it. The board gets checked and replaced before capping goes on.

Where soffit and fascia goes wrong
- Capping run over a fascia board that was never checked, so the rot continues out of sight and the trough it carries starts to pull away two winters later.

Frequently asked questions
Soffit and Fascia in St. Thomas
Can soffit and fascia be replaced without touching the siding?
Yes, they are separate systems. The usual reason to do them together is scaffolding — the setup cost is already paid for.
Do you need a permit for soffit and fascia in St. Thomas?
St. Thomas administers its own building department separately from London, so permit questions go to City Hall on Talbot Street rather than to Middlesex County or the City of London. Like-for-like siding replacement with no structural change is generally exempt, but confirm directly before scheduling — the exemption does not extend to structural work or to changes affecting spatial separation on a tight lot.
What makes St. Thomas different from London for this work?
St. Thomas sits roughly 15 km inland from Lake Erie on the Elgin plateau. The practical effect is south and southwest driven rain: the lake-side elevation of a house here takes more wind-driven water than the equivalent wall in London, and that is where seam and J-channel detailing matters most.
