Welcome to part 32 in my series of DIY loft conversion videos where I show you my loft conversion from start to finish. In this video I fit the remainder of the timber soffit board and install uPVC over fascia and soffit cladding board to cover the timber. I show in detail how I fit the fascia and soffit and give some tips and trips along the way.

Why did you leave a huge dirty looking cap at the bottom of the fascia, It should be pushed up tight!! Did you not want to cut the fascia to the correct size?

@johncoppock3823 3 года назад

Top job and a very Happy New Year to you. Was interested in the gap between the fascia underhang lip and the soffit boards, and how you decided how big to make that gap, and benefits. Assume for the front of the gable you will get a box end sheet and cut up for the box ends to get a tidy finish, rather than make up from bits and bobs. Weather cold and dry ahead (and plastic doesn't mind that) so hope you get a good run to finish it. Cheers 🍺🍺🍺

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 3 года назад

Hi John, it's actually all done now. This was filmed Almost 2 years ago. I'm a bit behind on the video editing! The gap on the fascia is because where I added the soffit cladding it extended the depth of the fascias. This meant a 150mm fascia was just too short to cover the soffit board but the next size up which I think was 175mm gave an overhang. I could have cut it down but seemed like a lot of hassle given that from the ground it all looks fine. It's easier on a new build as you can cut your new timber to suit. Always tricky retro fitting on old buildings as they are never straight forward! Thanks for the comment and happy new year!

This has beens a fantastic watch! Really answered a lot of questions and explained the whole process in detail. Just one question. I wondered what you think you have spent so far? I'm considering doing this to my house and wondered how it stacks up against builders quotes. Thanks in advance.

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 3 года назад

Probably around 13K including painting my house and fully re-slating, soffits, fascias etc. I gave the house a bit of an exterior makeover while scaffolding was up. That's including the end of my house which isn't part of the loft which you will see in later videos. A lot of man hours working alone though. Thanks for watching.

@davidbennett2171 3 года назад

Hi, watched all the loft vids very useful tips throughout. What happened to vid 33 on though? Next thing I can find you have the stairs in and the plaster boarding done

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 2 года назад

@dewialunedwards 3 года назад

Love watching youre videos. Can anyone tell me when installing the new floor joists for attic dormer is there a way i can install joists without opening up the roof on dormer side, cheers

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 3 года назад

It's tricky if they are long. You usually need to remove some part of the lower roof to slide them in. Depends on your roof shape, size etc. Best of luck with it!

@gordonhunter4249 3 года назад

Building a loft convention myself. Was wondering if you had drawings for building regs or can you do without. Great videos by the way

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 3 года назад

If you do a building notice, they will inspect regularly at agreed stages and no drawings required, just some calculations for structural stuff and certificates like electrical sign off for example. If you do a full application then drawings required but they tend to inspect less I think. I went with a building notice. Best to speak to your building control officer and ask them advice as these things change all the time. My officer was very helpful. Best of luck with it.

@richardhennah7329 3 года назад

Looking good, love your vids. Out of curiosity, can I ask why you didn't trim the facia boards down so there wasn't a gap between the sofit and edge of the facia?

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 3 года назад

It seemed like a lot of hassle given the appearance from the ground looks fine. I also wanted this depth of fascia to look right so I could have built the soffit lower but again this would have been a lot of hassle for something you never really notice once it's up. So in short, I got lazy! Thanks for watching and happy new year!

@gak2008 3 года назад

Amazing! You did a great job. How much would it cost to do this on a 1200 sq ft home with vaulted ceilings?

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 3 года назад

No idea. This was a DIY project. It depends on material costs, how much material you need, what material you use etc so impossible to give a price sorry. Best of luck with it and thanks for watching.

@MrAas41 3 года назад

great vid! i dont know if i missed you mentioning it but can you not put the soffit length ways? so then it saves time on all that cutting?

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 3 года назад

Yes you can if your walls are straight but then you could just use the smooth lengths of soffit. The tongue and groove is designed to retro fit like I did on old houses where walls and timber soffits aren't straight, eliminating gaps either side. Hope that helps.

@ep91monster 2 года назад

If you had cut that capping board down to fit properly, it would have looked good.

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 2 года назад

@mrai9199 4 месяца назад

Should the Soffits have vents? I'm gussing you are relying on fascia strip vents?? Did you put in eave ventilation to allow airflow between insulation boards or rockwool? Thanks for sharing the video.

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 4 месяца назад

Yes, if you watch my earlier loft videos I installed fascia vents, and left 25mm air gap above insulation with a new breathable membrane. 50mm gap is required for old non breathable roof felts. You could use soffit vents instead of fascia vents. Hope that helps.

@ek6868 3 года назад

Hi pouse great video tanx for the upload what type,size screw you using for the j strip and what size nails for the fascia board?

I think I used a 3.5 x 30mm for j trim and maybe a a 40mm poly cap nail for the fascia. Check out the links in description section below video for products and tools used in the video. Best of luck and happy new year!

Shouldn't the bottom of the facia board be up tight to the soffit? it is on my house.

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 3 года назад

It usually does, but to save cutting half an inch I left it manufacturers size. It also matches my neighbours. Thanks for watching.

@pauldavison7105 11 месяцев назад

Can depend on many variables. If the facia is fitted in a location where it can be subject to being open to rain or water getting in the top , in some applications, then water will run down the facia passed the soffit and out the bottom. If butted together the water can seep across the back of the soffit. It's ok if you've got a nice watertight modern pitched roof that has no risk of water. But always consider the weather tightness of a given application.

@dreddwailing5505 2 года назад

What happens if the board expands and contracts when it's nailed up there? Do the nails wear a slot into the board after a while?

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 2 года назад

If you space the nails correctly then any expansion should only cause tge board between the nails to flex slightly. You shouldn't have problems with the nail holes.

@johnbower Год назад

@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE If you need a 6mm gap at end of boards for expansion what happens to the nails near the end of the board, they certainly won't flex 6mm :(

@johnbower Год назад

dredd waiing, Very good question, I don't think anyone can give a good answer to that, I think the only answer is hope for the best :(

@pauldavison7105 11 месяцев назад

@@johnbowerthe expansion gap is there to cope with the plastic AND the timber it's mounted to. The moister level in the timber open to the elements has to be accounted for. Once covered and drying out the timber will contract. In changing seasons the timber will expand and contract far more than the plastic. The plastic is just along for the ride and if the joints are too tight will cause issues.

Sorry, i die a little inside when i see people cut uPVC with any type of saw blade. Admit it or not you know it's going to chip/snap sometimes. A steady hand (the way i like) or a straight edge and use a grinder with a smooth diamond blade. Plus! it's loads quicker!

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE Год назад

I do use a grinder now, but a tiny rough edge was no issue for what I was doing as the edge is hidden in the j trim or above the fascia overhang. Thanks for watching.

@MarkAShaw64 3 года назад

Shouldn’t the lip on the facia be up tight to the soffit?

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 3 года назад

It often is done that way but problem is if you use fascia vents like me, it makes over fascia too short for same size timber, and next size fascia up is bigger than the timber. Whilst I could have trimmed it down along the whole length, it just wasn't worth as it looks fine from the ground and keeps nice straight lines. Great question, thanks for watching and happy new year!
