Thanks. My neighbour has built right upto the dpc line with no drain so was concerned.

Other option is I can clamp on the box ends. Just been out to see how the works gone on my garage, eaves protectors work perfectly not a drip on the fascia so they will definately worth the effort.

Hi, Is this normal for a row below the DPC line?

I have a ladder to manoeuvre on the opposite sides and it's only 9mm capping not full board. Also The soffit will be hollow board so T&G. The platform is more to get above the gutter line and do the Eaves protectors and get the tiles pushed back. Mitower two man is 1.6M Wide, i've got an 8m...

I've only just done the back of my garage to learn how to do it. Once you have it punched in with two pins it will be stable. Put an overhanging bit of soffit or fascia on box end side so it lines up. Towers can take two people so I might rope in someone after a crate of beer lol.

This is my problem area, I may just get a quote for this side of the property. It's in the pictures (google maps crp sorry) The apex starts 3/4 over the side of the house so a cherry may work and I could work on the tiles, not preferred though. Hire for a platform for 19 days is 500 odd, on...

I think I will keep an eye out for a used tower.

Hi, Ive started fascia/guttering and am seeking some scaffold options. Had a quote for my detached 4 bed @ 1800 quid for a month . That included; -Front back that is two storey working height -Side that is 6m to a flat gable section -Over apex garage Sounded expensive to me. Other...

It was a national builder in the late 90's.

I was intending on patching up, I went in a bit ham fisted on the first tile here and it manifested. On the dry verge option I am looking into this and on how to install these on existing tiles and I am not sure it will work based on the battens only running up to the end of the fascia.

Doing fascias and guttering and tried getting the Eaves trays on....just crumbled like fudge. I'll be filling in the gaps as I'm a DIY'er. Is there a particular method to removing tiles (shown) to get eaves trays on? feels like buddy hard work to get them off at the moment. I'm working at...

Yeh, and it was ****...like jelly and didn't bond enough to the fascia.

Yes, it's possible to do that but it slants at the difference in the batten and bottom of existing fascia. It looked a bit heath Robinson when I've done the back of the garage. Not too bothered about two storeys up though.

Its plywood

I've got some sticks like Sht is that suitable?

Sorry I apologise, I've not given the whole story as I'm rushing around. I originally ordered normal soffit but have now gone with Hollow to tounge and groove it. Reason being it's lighter and I wasn't sure normal soffit would sit in the trim weight wise. So I'll be using hollow soffit...

Thanks, maybe I'll seek an alternative. 2 hours bonding is a bit too long. it was more to ensure it's in place right.

Im glueing UPVC fascia joints.

Still not sure I want to do the soffits this way on the roof of my house, drilling in it a pain in the arse and I'll need to do an awful lot of it for the four sides of the property. Should I just put screwed battens down between existing batten on the wall side and the existing soffit ?

Wow, this stuff instantly cured when doing some testing with it. Worries me tad I won't have any working time with it. Do you need to use the activator with it? It seemed to not be instant cure and bit workable without it. OR do I need to know what I'm doing for once lol.
