I've recently refurbished and replaced some sections of my timber fascias and box ends etc. On the new sections i treated all sides with 2-3 coats of this. Existing timbers where the paint was flaky got a thorough rub down to expose the wood and then applied the treatment. Make sure you give...

Cheers. Would you tuck the additional flashing piece down into the gap between the end of the ridge tile and wall as per how its already been done (obvious making sure to cover the lap)?

I wasnt around to see the work as the flat is rented out but spoke to him on the phone. He cleared out the blockage which was mostly tissue/soft obstructions. But he advised the pipe has got a fair amount of scaling and hard sediment build up which would need removing with special equipment...
