• The first step is to remove the first row of tiles to enable us to remove the fascia board, soffit board and guttering.

• Once all the timber fascia and soffit has been removed, any rotten timber to the spar ends can be cut out and replaced.

• The soffit and fascia can then be replaced with 16mm replacement fascia and soffit to suit your home. All fixings used are stainless steel poly-top nails. As fixings are face fixed and visible, they are measured so as to keep the work symmetrical.

• The guttering and fall pipes of your choice can then be installed, after which a sheet of PVC is installed under the felt and falling into the gutter. Not only does this protect roof spar ends, but also keeps birds and other rodents out of your roofline.
