I thought the groove was just a Routed run for the soffit? Didn’t realise the whole board had grooves in it? Why is PVC smooth then?

What’s the best timber to use for fascia? I’m leaning towards planed redwood 9x1. Would have thought treated would be better but noone seems to do treated that except in 2x3 etc

Yep thats looks like what I will have to do which seems silly as the whole point of the edge trim it to do away with the up-stand!

yep good idea, bit of extra cost but probably the best solution. Thanks

Thanks higgy but that creates another issue with how to finish the EPDM. I guess I could run the EPDM over the upstand (and lose the trims) and lose the edge of the EPDM under the fascia. Not sure that would look as good as the EPDM trim though

So the question remains, is a fascia board required and if so how to fix it?

Yep I guess I won’t tell until I start stripping it back I think that’s attached to the wooden upstand that won’t be replaced with as I’m using a Modern EPDM roof as edge trim. I took a photo looks like what I said above,

I can’t add an overhang on the other side as it’s up against a road and trucks will hit it.

Photos for reference

I've seen plenty of flat roof garage's with no overhang its pretty standard I believe.

Yes exactly. Usually I would fascia then trim but as from my (badly drawn) diagram you can see that the Joists run parallel to the wall and the top of the joist is level with the wall hence when I add 18mm OSB I will run it over the joist/wall to the edge. how would I fix the fascia? unless I...

anyone any idea how to finish the detailing on this flat roof? I won't have an 'upstand' on the edge or the roof as plan on using these EPDM trims: https://www.rubber4roofs.co.uk/shop/sure-edge-kerb-trim-2-5m as such shall I just leave it at that or will it look a bit odd? Don't really have...

Ive got a split level flat roof im going to replace with EPDM. Question is do I treat it as two separate roofs and facia the step down and chase the wall for the lower roof or overlap the EPDM and join the two roofs? Any pros/cons or either method?

Sorry Hugh, yep you were right but it was sourcing the right type of adapters that proved hard, phoned flopast in the end and got the codes even then Had to order online as all my local places didn’t have them, go figure?

Found the answer to this. They don’t make a cap so you need an adapter (sp21) and bit of pipe and cap (ws31). Or else cut it out and fit a new one!

Yep said because I’m on heavy clay and 7m from a load of trees. ☹️

I have an old single skin garage and was hoping to add a room above it. How ever I’ve Just had the BCO round and he want 2.4m foundations so it looks like the whole thing will have to come down and be rebuilt. I’m also adding a garden room on the side so it’s around 35 linear meters. That is a...

Have you tried ”kicking” it. Try to stamp and push your foot down and forward hard on it it force it together, use a “grippy” shoe like a trainer. Worked a treat on one on mine.

Oh yeah I guess that makes sense, must be tired! Lol.

At the risk of answering my own question I’ve found information taht says I can run the furring strips at 90’ to the rafters but over 8m might be a stretch? Anyone seen 8m furring strips that arn’t stupid money? It there an alternative?
