Hi all

I am considering getting the outside of the place tidied up with
the ubiquitous plastic make over.

The fascia boards on the gable ends are solid and I am concerned
that if these are rived off, the boards above will be damaged.
Can anyone tell me the name of the asbestos(?) boards that
project from the roof about 8" at the gable end and support the
tile overhang and mortar infill?

I thought that was called *undertile* but Google doesn't seem to have
heard of it.

I don't think it is asbestos cement as the stuff I used was quite soft.

It would seem a reasonable idea to cover rather than replace the
good timber to avoid collateral damage.
The boxing at the end
of the eaves is rotting and will certainly need removal.

Any thoughts on mixing replacement with cladding appreciated.

Thanks

Phil

I had my wooden fascia boards clad with L-section uPVC about 24 years
ago, and they're still fine. A few rotten bits - particularly at the
corners - were replaced prior to cladding, but the vast majority of the
wood is original, from when the house was built in the 1960's.
