om...
when replacing soffits and fascias with upvc is it acceptable to just
cut away the rotten wood and then clad over the rest or will I just be
storing up problems for the future.

Yes, of course you will. Is that not obvious??!!



Take care when ripping out bargeboards.The support for the verge tiles often
collapses as it is attached to the edge of the barge board.
All of a suydden you are not just cladding but stripping off an re-fixing
roof tiles.
That said rotten wood must be removed and the remaining wood saturated with
preservative before cladding.
