Additional tip: run two string lines on the packers, one on the corner and another on the face edge or underside. This will make sure the packers are not just in line but also at a perfect right angle. Personally I would not fix in the middle of the soffit with a polytop, this looks unsightly. Far better to pin with a cladding pin near the front edge where it is hidden by the fascia lip, and wedge the back down on to the top of the brick with and additional packer if needed. Obviously if the soffit butts up to the wall then a polytop is needed but closer to the wall where far less visible.
Genuine question: there seem to be a fair few critics on the responses - can you please suggest a better video for replacing fascia and gutters on an older house? Cheers
The wooden rafters do look to be in good condition still mostly and the installers in this case have strengthened them by attaching pvc flat fascia noggins to the rafter feet. However, if some rafters have rotted, best practice is to cut back the affected area and bolt a new section of the same size treated timber to the rafter.
@@slowdown3787 Oh, we see now. Well, since the installers put a new breather membrane in, we don't believe it's necessarily essential for them to have put new wood sheeting in too. However, as we didn't undertake the job ourselves, it's hard to comment further on whether or not that was the best practice in this case.
I’m glad they hired a professional voice over as their work is pish
This is a very good video. Clear and informative detail. Well done.

Mans wart is the star of the show

You could take a look at our latest Fascia and Soffit fitting video here:

Great video , however so many Health & Safety issues, e.g the way fascias are cut holding them in hand etc, I was scared just watching it
Totally agree.. pretty poor examples of how to work safely there …
Good video. Thanks.
Very good
OMG what a cowboy job. You are having a laugh aren't you?! All that felt scrunched up in a wad!
Only apply glue to one side of the fascia trim so that you allow for expansion
Very good point, thanks for pointing it out!
Were they external screws? Nope.
Cheapest verges and done wrong as well ment to strip cement verge out extend battens and nail verge into that
Genuine question, not being picky. Shouldn't the rotten wood that supports the tiles have also been replaced as well as the membrane?

@@nbpltd Thanks for the reply. I was referring to the rotten wood sheeting that was removed with the membrane early in the video.

Not sure about the look of the dry verge. Too chunky.
I wouldn't have posted this as an example of my work. That unsupported wavy soffit tells the story from 50 yards away.
Is Superglue suitable for outdoors where repeated exposure to moisture can soften it?
Silicone the best
They should have only glued one side of the joint to allow for expansion and contraction. Theirs will pop off eventually.
so, there is no place for air intake? How about the breathing system for the attic area?
They installed vents,between the fasica and the tile tray
@@sopissedoff ok so it is underneath the gutter. Got it. Thanks!
@@chuckshu9662 no, it's above the gutter on top of the fascia boards. They sit under the eave trays
@@Landofhopeandglory575 I've seen this done, but why not just use vents on soffits?
What the price like full guttering
Tut tut tut ... dry verge fitted all wrong , oh dear
Was the customer expected to pay for that
Shame about that silicone work at the end
Where’s the Indian’s?
This is a right crap job. State of that silicone !!
That dry verge will have come off in the first gust of wind. Poor.
Jesus christ. How to cover a beautiful old house in revolting plastic and tonnes of mastic. 🤯
Or just staple dpc to the back of the fascia
9:26 , 9:57, 10:04 🙁
9:26 and 10:03 stressed me out thought the guy was going to saw his hand off! Great video otherwise!!
Giving zero fucks about anything.
