Extra Fascia support on roof corner

[georgejoss]

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 battons?? (which would include breaking & re cementing on the verge/underlay on the edge).

Have tried "sistering"/fixing to the concrete block with 5x100 screw and 6x150 nail but its very difficult to use drill/hammer in this small area. impact driver [makita TD110D] cannot drive into this concrete.

Originally they put in 1 support only for the fascia and it was propped up by the soffit

Any ideas at all guys? Thanks.....

Double up and fix a dummy rafter end to the concealed rafter in the corner. Whist the eaves are open, make sure you trap the soffit down with some vertical struts, fixed to the rafter ends...
