Soffit board replacement
The soffit boards on my house are looking a bit ropey and I want to do
something to smarten them up, so would be grateful for a bit of advice about what I am thinking of doing. The paint is peeling off them but I don't fancy repainting them because they would need sanding down and I gather the old boards are made of asbestos. Because of this I don't really want to disturb anything that's there if I can help it, so I am thinking of fitting new upvc soffit boards on top. The problem is how do I go about it, and that's where I'd be interested to hear what you think here? Upvc soffit boards are very light, particularly the hollow ones, so I was thinking of just glueing them to the existing boards, with perhaps a couple of nails here and there. Any views? |
