fascia

Hi, I am a first time shed builder for my garden. I have simply tried to copy the steps of the shed my builder made for me some time ago. Now, I am a little confused. I am reading in some places to add fascia boards around the top where the felt is nailed and in other places not to. Can...

Should I fill the gap between fascia and render with expanding foam or mastic, such as, Everbuild Everflex 115 GP Building Mastic, or something else?

Fascia/soffit rotted away on a roof corner and collapsed ..... the fascia was fixed on 1 rafter tail only. the working space is only 230m wide/height to fix an extra support (a 2/4 with a 240mm torx) - "FIX 2" in the image.. impossible to drill into that space without removing any tiles or...

Hi, A month ago we have been scammed by a bogus tradesman and then we have to find someone who can do the job as quickly as possible. We went ahead with a firm that was recommended by a colleague and neighbour. Now that we have been scammed I'm not sure I can trust anyone yet. At the moment...

Hello I'm looking for some advice for how to remedy what appears to be a bodge by a previous owner. I have a standalone single story garage which I'll soon be renovating into a workshop (new plasterboard, insulation, flooring...) but I want to be sure the structure is sound and secure before...

Hello! DIyer here.. however this job seems beyond me.. I'd really appreciate some opinions on what you guys think would be a reasonable solution - some context/knowledge/insight, before I'm swamped in quotes. Or in the event I decide to do it myself. This is my mum's house, and the diagonal...

I'm rebuilding a flat roofed garage and am wondering what the point in fascia boards are here because the rafters don't overhang the wall, instead they finish flush with the edge of the wall. Is there any reason I shouldn't clad right up to the roof line? A rubber roof will be installed with a...

Sorry, think I posted this in the wrong place in "Building" and here would be more suitable. Wondering about the logic/sense of providing ventilation through the fascia boards. I realise that usually you would vent through the soffits or have some over-fascia ventilation but I have neither...

Hi, For an outbuilding, we have 9inch (220mm) roof joists and 4in (100mm) insulation and 18mm OSB3 boards for a warm flat roof. Based on this I think I will need at least 340mm Fascia boards - but I can't seem to find any; most seem to go up to 225mm only.. I was planning on using 18m fascia...

Hi, I've got the roof joists in place now for my out-building and just wanted to check next step for fitting the Fascia Boards. Am planning on putting 100m celotex / kingspan ontop of the joists, then OSB3 boards on top of the insulation then finish it with either fibreglass or rubber roof. I...

Replacing rotten fascia. Detached bungalow with half hip slate/tile roof. Existing fascia's in two pieces all the way around. Bottom pieces look like upside down skirting board. Above this there's a narrower strip (about 35mm wide). You can see this in the photo. Anyone please know if there...

I've been looking around (and on-line) for uPVC roof line products (fascias, soffits and guttering). I've been to Eurocell in Birmingham and their stuff looks very good. However, it seems the highest cost of anything I've managed to find on line. Swish, Freefoam and Wickes all seem to be...

Unfortunately we are already amidst our renovation job, which includes also the redoing of a flat roof and upgrading it to a warm roof and I have a question regarding the insulation of the fascia, I find shocking that there isn't really much material on the web about it! The new joists have been...

Hi - I have a small issue with some part falling off the fascia on our garage and was hoping I could get some advice and info on how I might source and fix. I've attached 2 images - one side of the garage where the end cap is located ok and the other where it has fallen off. Ideally I don't...

I am trying to replace the timer on a Lamona HJA3650 oven (think its a Howdens make). The problem is that to remove the timer you need to remove the stainless steel fascia and I cannot see how its held on. Taking the two rotary knobs off do NOT reveal any screws and I cannot see any screws...

Hi all, I've just done my first flat roof and I've left noggins to pick up the Fascia's where the joists run parallel to the wall. The joists overhang at the front also for the fascia. The brickwork is two course higher on the outside so I could have a smaller fascia board by the time the warm...

As my builder buggered off without putting in the soffit vents I had BC out last week and lo and behold it's changed and we need cross ventilation on the flat roof of my extension and we're not able to just put in the soffit vents on the front overhang, but rather being asked to do it from side...

Hi all, I have a problem with my roof. The tiles on the right hand side need replacing, and I had a roofer round yesterday who said this wooden bar I have running along the edge of the roof tiles doesn't need to be there as my attached neighbour doesn't have it on her side, although the building...

I have a bargeboard/fascia hanging off gable end of house. Every roofer i've called automatically says its rotted without getting a ladder and climbing up to check. From the pictures - see images: It doesnt look like its rotted but more like its come loose from the fixings to the rafter...
