I meet with the builders snag fixing person on Thursday to review the work his team have done based on my snag list. Will be interesting to see what they have done with this. What would be your suggestion? Take down the soffit board and refit it correctly. I assume it shouldn’t be a difficult job.

Cheers Ker-plunk. I’ve just looked at a youtube vid showing fitting of soffit and fasia boards and i understand the fitting process better now. This definitely looks like poor workmanship.

Here is another photo. What do you mean by different profiles? The soffit on the rugby side in the photo is coming in at an angle to the wall. The other one at least looks like it’s level / no angle. Appreciate your inputs.

Thanks for your feedback. The first photo with the bad soffit join is my actual house “to be.” It’s a new build in a development and I snagged it a few weeks ago. The other photo with the white soffit boards is not my house. It’s just an example I used to show what I expect the soffit on my...

Ok. Cheers for your input.

Ok. If I had some technical knowledge in his area it’d be no problem for me to outline the issue. Anyway, I’ll stand my ground and see what they say. Thanks!

Can you see any technical reason why the soffit on the right side of my house photo is fitted at an angle? I will be rechecking the house on Thursdays to recheck the house and snags. The builder may have just sealed the gap and not rejigged the soffit board (lease one on right side), so it makes...

Thanks 23cv. I go back to the site on Thursday to recheck the house and snags to see if all is fixed. If the builder house finishing team have just sealed the gap with mastic and not rejigged the badly soffit board, do you think I have a good argument to not accept the workaround fix, and ask...

I’ve very little experience with building standard tbh. This is my first house. My snagger just added it to the snag list stating that the gap needs to be sealed. Am I right in saying it is bad workmanship and that the soffit board coming in at an angle is fitted wrong? I’m not keen on a big...

I have no experience with house finishing foremen tbh. Appreciate if you could offer some advice on my inquiry. That’s my main objective.

I would expect the 2 boards to be fitted like in this example photo, and forming a nice close joint. The house is a timber house with cement block outer wall if that matters at all.

Can some knowledge person advise if the builder has messed up the soffit board alignment on my new house? This is the back room of the house. Builder house finishing foreman said it was normal but I don’t tend to agree. The issue is the angle of the 2 soffit boards. You can see soffit board on...

Can some knowledge person advise if the builder has messed up the soffit board alignment on my new house? This issue is with the back room of the house (see photo).
