rotten fascia boards

Your Fascia Boards might look sound when viewed from the ground but as you can see from the photo opposite, the decay has started from the top and is then only evident upon stripping down the roof area immediately above the Fascia Board. This is caused by the roof felt rotting away which allows water to penetrate the top of the boards.

In fact around 90% of all the fascias we change have decayed this way.

 


 

As we can see here some other companies prefer to take shortcuts and simply clad over the existing timber.

On the left if you see soffits installed like this, then this is almost certainly overclad by cowboys!

Quick easy and very profitable! to the firm but not to the customer.

A totally unacceptable method.

Cladding over existing timber only boxes the problem in and makes matters worse.

 

 


 

Here at Derby  Fascia & Soffit Company we do not take shortcuts, we completely strip the roofline area, which enables us to inspect and repair if necessary the damaged joist ends, we then re-build the roofline using new over vented PVCu fascia boards and eaves guard on all our installations.

The eaves guard fixes underneath the existing roof felt.

Bird protector strip is then fitted where applicable to prohibit birds from entering the roof space.
