I am in the process of getting quotes for new soffits and facias.
The current ones are wood, rotting in a number of places, plus the guttering has seen better days.
I have had two quotes so far, one £300 more expensive than the other. both providing different ways to fit the new soffits and facias.
The first quote he will remove all old soffits and facias, replace with UPVC with eves trays and replace the felt to the first batten. He wants to use scafolding for safety. 10 year insurance backed guarentee.
The second quote, he will remove old soffits and facias, replace with tannilised wood then UPVC over the top, no mention of eves trays, but did say they would replace felt. They will use ladders.
The more expensive quote is the one with the scaffold.
Can anyone advise which is the correct way? Should new wood be put up first? or just UPVC.
Many thanks
Adam
