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 TH-cam. Me and my daughter changed the pipes to my the main drain cast iron by watching TH-cam. 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.
@@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?
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.
"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..."
@@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.
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.

TrADIES, THEY DO LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. i BET THEY CHARGED FOR REPLACING THE TIMBERS THEN DIDN'T BOTHER "yEAH LOVE WE REPLACED EVERYTHING..."

how is it going to be able to expand if its superglued on the joints??
The glue still gives and expands
@@mde1953 while you're there. Why are soffits not run parallel to wall? Would save a lot of cutting
@@TheSubpremeState Rafters protrude through the wall plus it allows tile overhang into all the guttering work if not it would just be wood anyhow
@@mde1953 yes but can I put a 5 metre length up in one peice ?

How much does something like this cost to do yourself?
Yo Haze £12.50
I thought the verge tiles had to be mechanicaly fixed now and was expecting them to use dry verge instead.

@@stephenwivverp5599 Looks better with a wet verge, especially on classic buildings. Dry verges are for council houses :)
Do you need a permit to do this work yourself on your own house?
No , the fact u need to ask says to me that you shouldn’t do it bye yourself unfortunately
@@bobbycrispy5459 The fact that you spelt ''by'' as ''bye'' says to me that you shouldn't be giving advice.
@@wiganer9912 who gives a fuck how I spelt bye

What are you on about? Shiplap gets used for cladding. Not Soffits ahahaha
No it will not

On top of the facial board
Where are soffit vents??
They fitted strip vents on the tops of the fascia boards. It was in the video.
Not necessary

This pvc board not long life
Wipe it down, yeah right as if these scamming wankers would do that!
Where the fuck are the dry verges?!
Looks flimsy.
Let's see your video, see how good you are
Ooooo meow!
ForestCat_Peter meow indeed 💅🏻💅🏻
Not only looks flimsy, it is actually flimsy. When the wind blows, it will be hard to get to sleep.
