Ive just capped my house and learnt there is no real art to this if retrofitting! As long as you've secured it you'll be fine. You can buy variant sizes of polypins let alone worrying it'll fall off you try getting one out of wood when it's bent knocking it in and you need it out to replace it.

I'm going to need this section of capped fascia tarted up. I. can put a 90 degree corner on the top board but it's the angled bit I'm scratching my head on to cover the end of the gable section of fascia??? It is up on the roofline so doesn't need to look perfect so was thinking I would cut up...

Im capping my wood facias and i have a bit of a wood bend situation. When the box end meets the front of the house when ive put a test bit of upvc on its got a 3-5degree bend when using a spirit level. Am i worrying about too much here when capping and it having a gap underneath? Options...

Thankfully I wear specs, although they've needed to be replaced after getting knocked off when bending through the tower I hired lol.

Apologies I meant Dot & Dabbed! Thank you @Wayners lot of good P&D tips there, I did think it just needed to get put back to good, and suspected it might be a blob of D&B underneath causing the area aggro. When it's next decorated I'll review some options from Bin maybe to prime/seal it?

I've got a bit of upstairs external wall stud side thats peeling. Is this potentially down to someone on the external wall? PS not cracks cobwebs!

I will be capping my gable ends as the next leg of my capping journey. Upon inspection of them they appear to have a very wide drop between soffit line and bottom Questions I've got seeking help; 1. Is this this deep for Aesthetics or this deep to provide enough coverage to the timbers? 2...

Ok, so job was done in about 3 days on/off over the bank holiday. Used an old line of fascia cut off to provide a jigsaw run of the fascia, i've saved 5M worth for the front of the house as taking it off every metre or so at a time got rather time consuming. Pain in the ars regardless...

I use an online retail that then comes from Eurocell/GAP and it is cheaper than buying from Eurocell/GAP....clueless how. I've had problems with fulfilment though, e.g. took delivery of 1k of order for my house and they (GAP) ended up missing most of the guttering attachments needed. OP...

Thanks for the tips. I agree, at height on the ladder for the test section it did wander, I am going to use a guide screwed in. Doing it on the ladder wasn't ideal so I'm hoping when my tower arrives Thursday it will be easier to manage the jig, plus the Makita Jig I've bought for this job...

Would this be suitable...

I've done a window section to test and this works with a jigsaw. I'm going to need to run a guide (Old bit of facia cut off thats straight enough screwed on temporarily) to get the Jigsaw running straight. I'm assuming I won't need to treat the cut end of the fascia wood if being covered up???

Hiya, yes agree, This is what I've got

Hi, I have currently got wood facia board grooved with a ply soffit in. I did my downstairs garage to learn all the requirements to cap/add soffit trim etc and that went ok, I just screwed the soffit on the lip of existing fascia and threw the capping over to support it. I'm doing the roof...

Get yourself an SDS, I'll be honest mines been used a dozen times but it will cut through what you need.

I'm sorry OP, I'd hate to be in this position. It's why I've not put dry verge on my existing wet verge that cracked when moving tiles to add eaves protectors. You now are in the position where you know more than the cowboy installing it. Maybe contact citizens advice bureau for some free...

It's one of these...

I've got a Maki and the hex key on the bolt has gone so it's stuck. Thinking I grind down either side and get a wrench on the actual bolt OR get a screw extractor. Are there any other options for me to get the bolt off easily or is it this primitive?

What an absolute joke, hope you get them to sort it out properly.

The owner had patio laid to about 30cm then had concrete in the gap (push push push all the time). They just had decking installed over the patio and concrete with a pergola with slanted roof directly running off towards the wall with no gutter. No cavity in there.
