well done lads my land lord is so cheap been making excuses for months about doing fascia's told him last night iv had enough ill figure it out myself with a youtube guide video.
Yes I'm thinking of doing it myself along with my daughter. My front and side where I can reach not to high. Scared of height. I've learn a lot watching RU-vid. Me and my daughter changed the pipes to my the main drain cast iron by watching RU-vid. Saved myself about 7,000.00 dollars. About 5 years ago and no more problems since.
How can you fix new soffit over rotten roof timbers, these should be replaced /repaired and treated with suitable wood preservative prior to the replacement taking place
It’s alright, the firm will be long gone by the time the householder realises the problem, and that the rest of the timbers have also gone rotten due to the plastic stopping the timbers breathing.
Good point. Verge tiles would have been mechanically fixed or nailed in layman's terms in days gone by but if a dry verge system is incorporated (now a standard practice) to the build the dry verge units or continuous dry verge system will hold verge tiles securely in place therefore eliminating the need to nail down tiles on the verge. And just who beds down and points verge tiles on a roof these days? CAVEMEN!
Come on lads, don’t use hollow on a huge overhang like that, use a solid 150mm shiplap instead. That will bend all over the place when someone tries to clean it.
@@mde1953 I think u misunderstood my question. As far as I've seen the soffit is cut in to small pieces and fitted side by side. Why not run one peice with the grooves in the same direction as the wall?
"Eh, Dan. we need do a good job as we're on camera. No dodgy scam tradie jobs like we normally do then fuck off home leaving behind a shit job a mess and ripping the customer off..."
Houses in Britain used to be rock solid but thanks to cheap American construction materials, they're now making more and more things of cheap grade plastic.
@@taffytop It is necessary. On my leaking roof, the roof felt is designed to drip water into the soffit and soffit let the water out from vents at the bottom.
