Or a nice new drive with divots from the ladders of the soffit

Discussing renewing garage fascias and soffits with my tenant
carpenter, he suggested overfitting with plastic on the basis that
the existing softwood is sound (brown paint and Ivy notwithstanding)
and removal may lead to further work with roof tiles.



Nothing wrong with that, but will you be able to push back the
tiles that overhang the fascia board to put a run of dpc or
epdm cut into long strips, that goes under any existing roofing
felt and overhangs the fascia and new UPVC so that no water can
get in between timber and upvc ?.

25 year old roofing felt! Unlikely. For an otherwise sound concrete roll
tiled roof, how important is the felt anyway?
