Bargeboard/Fascia hanging off gable end

Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 2.34 PM

I have a bargeboard/fascia hanging off gable end of house. Every roofer i've called automatically says its rotted without getting a ladder and climbing up to check. From the pictures - see links: http://flic.kr/p/zQxhQy http://flic.kr/p/AMyXhn http://flic.kr/p/AKgDq7 It doesnt look like its rotted but more like its come loose from the fixings to the rafter ends. From the images above does this look like a rotted bargeboard requiring a full replacement or can it be repaired? Also if new bargeboard is required is a timber or upvc one better. Reading the following article : http://www.fixmyroof.co.uk/trusted-fascia-company/ it seems timber would be more stronger. Any roofers here who can provide some advice if the above is easy to fix or does it requires a full replacement?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

As above it will require a scaffolding. I would say it was a very bad installation not rotten. Take it down re paint and re fit correctly. Ron
