Hi,
Can anyone tell me if it is better to clad or fully replace existing wooden facias and soffits with PVC? As far as I can see, the facias and soffits are sound i.e. no rot is present and they are painted.
I've heard that that it is better to replace rather than clad but also heard that cladding is fine as long as the underlying wood is sound. If any wood is defective then this can be cut out and replaced with treated timber before it is cladded over.
Any thoughts?
