This is very useful. I was on the point of just replacing old wooden fascia but builder friend suggested underlying roof felt along edge is likely rotting away too. This gives me a very clear expectation of what i might find and need to deal with whilst scaffolding is in place and before replacing old fascia boards. I have the same concrete tiles as per this video so good to see that aswell. Thanks for sharing 👍

Waters gonna trap behind batten put back on top of fascia board then seep down behind gutter,, should have gone underneath new felt with felt support trays going into gutter, at least two tiles should have been replaced in that section alone , the fascia capping board didn't need cutting down at all and as for the scaffolding 🥴
@everlastbuilders3 жыл бұрын
Hi Rok A lot. Thank you for taking the time to watch, comment and explaining how you would have done the repair. Obvoiusly ever situation is different. On this particular instance I could have done a few things differnt like add felt support trays, changed tiles and had full scaffolding. But it was only a repair to get them by. (1 day before christmas) I believe the repair I carried out will last atleast 5 years which is probably longer than the rest of the roof will hold out. I informed the customer roof will need to be replaced in the near future.
@TheToolnut2 жыл бұрын
There should be a tilting fillet behind the fascia board or an eaves protector or an eaves support tray. There shouldn't be a batten fixed to the top of the fascia. A 2" upstand on the fascia is correct for tile. That scaffolding tower looked very sketchy. That said it was a repair and the budget was probably minimal.

Great video for roof repairs. Why was the insulation aspect totally ignored just because its not a roofing job? The loft insulation is clearly visible and so is the exposed face of the concrete blockwork which may form part of the room wall inside the building; for example the internal wall above a window. Why was that important part of the wall totally ignored? The absence of loft insulation in this area often results in damp just below the ceiling, often accompanied by mould. This problem can be made worse when soffitt vents are fitted and the air behind the fascia is even colder All for the sake of a small amount of insulation. So many videos about insulating lofts; so many about ventilating lofts; many about roofs and their repairs; non that join up the dots and create a total view on all aspects of a very important part of a building structure. Excellent video all the same!
@everlastbuilders10 ай бұрын
Hi thanks for your comment. You are correct! Insulation is poor in this whole roof. I actually recently when back to this property and done more work on the roof. I did advise the landlord of the property insulation in the loft is poor. But you know what landlords are like 😝 thanks for watching and your feed back

@everlastbuilders9 ай бұрын
Hi Lesley. Thanks for watching. In my option. Higher up will last a lot longer. If you can get a roofer round for a day or so and replace lower felt using a tower scaffhold or ladders. Your on to a winner. But if you have to fork out for full Scaffholding it will properly be worth replacing the whole lot. Hope that helps

Hi my roofer used TRAYS but he also used thin boards to stop the felt sagging. Now the tiny drips of condensation have turned to running water all along the wall and condensation. Is this caused by the boards? I’ve been told be another roofer they need to come out. Because the new felt is breathable. He’s going to charge me £5000 for a new roof. ???? Hasn’t been right since I had fashers and gutters put on.
@everlastbuilders2 жыл бұрын
Good Morning. Oh no what a pickle! Surely the boards wouldn’t have caused that much of an issue! When fascia’s and soffits are removed and replaced roof felt sometimes does get damaged and should be repaired as they go. Unless they put the new fascia’s on top of the old ones and not disturbed the roof felt? If it is defiantly condensation. It will be a ventilation issue? Has a vented soffit not been used? If not you may have to get the fascia guys back to drill holes in your soffits and add round vents to allow air to circulate in roof. Hope that helps George.
