Great video thank you has helped me a lot I’d have panicked lifting tiles and finding rotten felt now I know about the trays to deflect the water

Thanks for info. Some of my UPVC soffit on the gable end started to collapse. I assumed it was as a result of strong winds. I examined it today expecting to re-nail it but found the old wooden soffit underneath totally rotten and the wooden facia under the UPVC facia rotten. Some of ends of the supporting timbers are rotten also the actual roof tiles (Marley Ludlow type) are all fine and in good condition so I think that a small gap between the tile felt and facia has allowed driving rain to get in. Im only a 72 yr old DIYer, but with the hire of tower and your video I feel confident that I can replace the whole of the gable end myself. I have done a temporary repair which I think will last until the spring when it will be more sensible for me to do the work. Thanks again. VERY helpful

Sounds great mate. I’m sure you’ll do a grand job. Just make sure you have scaffolding up. Can’t really do fascia replacements off a ladder. Stay safe on the job! 😃👍

My first job as a fitters mate, I helped install the fascia for a window company. One day we turned up to a job and the idiot i worked with smashed all the asbestos soffit with a hammer and had me pick it all up. Was not happy one bit and i never got paid for it.

Oh dear okay, well if its any consulation this type of asbestos is very low grade and one of the less harmful. Although should still be treated with care due its nature.

this was great!

Good video, I usually get the fascia with the protective plastic that has the guidelines on it, such a time saver for getting the pins level all the way!

Good work. Thinking of doing mine. However roof is metal and cannot remove it. If some rafter ends are rotten how would I repair them ? As less access as removed tiles would give?

@davesalter

Жыл бұрын

Hi and thanks. Yeah well I guess you’ll have to remove the fascia and see what you have. If you do have to replace rafter ends the general rule is whatever the distance is from the wall plate to the rafter end is multiplied by 3 and that’s the length of the timber to fix to the side of your dodgy rafter. But it you can’t remove the roof it may be tricky, never had to do that on a metal roof before but hopefully the fascia not in place will give some access. 🤷‍♂️ Do your best.

Nooice!

How much was it to do this job

Great video! Could you explain how do you deal with a situation when the old Fascia board is wooden and only about 100mm wide? I’ve got a similar semi detached house to the one from the video and can’t find a fascia board 100mm wide. If I go for a wider one let’s say 175mm then I end up having my soffit lower then my neighbours one and had to do some boxing. Is there another way of doing it? Also will the eaves support tray cause the tiles to go a bit higher resulting in a gap between my last tile and neighbours first one - does this make sense?

@davesalter

Ай бұрын

You can get 100mm capping board, if the timber is sound it can go over it and fixed with Polytop pins. Failing that get a 150mm and cut it down to the size you need. Eaves trays will not affect tile height to any degree that would be a problem with joining to next door. It’s the new fascia height that may cause that problem. So do it the same height.

Amazing work, thank you for sharing the knowledge, may I please ask how much is the cost to replacing fascia and soffit bya professional? Thanks

@davesalter

7 ай бұрын

Thanks for your comment. Prices will vary a lot depending on skill and experience of the person doing it, be wary of very cheap prices as at the end of the day you get what you pay for. Look into each contractor for reviews or references for previous work. But average costs would be ball park £120 per meter. But costs can vary a lot depending on the state of the roof line or size of it. Many variables so its not a straight forward question to answer. That’s not including scaffolding .

Do the eves trays have to overlap?

@davesalter

9 ай бұрын

Yes they do, about 100mm.

I would imagine the wood behind most plastic fascia's is rotten. Once it's wet it will never dry out. Do you use eaves felt at all?

@davesalter

6 ай бұрын

Rots only if constantly getting wet over a long time. I use eaves support trays a regular roofing felt membrane. Not sure what eaves felt is? Unless it’s for shingles which we don’t use on domestic houses in the UK.

Great video. I’m looking to get fascia, soffit and gutter replaced on a side lean-to extension. It’s 5.5 metres long. What sort of price should I be paying? I know someone has asked the question before and you said it varies but any help would be appreciated mate!

What would a job of this size cost roughly

@davesalter

So many variables on this there is no exact answer. Materials plus other costs plus day rate and as needed a profit margin for an expanding business are factors to determine pricing.

Roughly how much would you quote a job like this mate I'm self employed doing the same work, but always struggle on pricing.

@davesalter

Get materials costs from supplier, send lists via email, and add 20% to cover any extras needed, fuel, insurance etc. Work out how many days you will do the job in , if a big job err on the side of an extra day etc. Add your day rate to how many days. As needed add company profits. You learn as you go.

I would have done it for free!!🤷🏽‍♀️
