capping vs replacement of barge board

removing the existing board will unfortunately disturb the tiles and the undercloaking will come away with board in most cases as it is usually nailed on to the board capping is fine as long as the existing board is in a good condition. although if you requested full replacement and this was agreed then that is what you should of got

If the timber is v.rotten it will be a quick fix to avoid added cost of re mucking in the gable but I would suggest the best fix would be to bite the bullet replace the rotten timber and re point the eaves if damaged! They are right in what they are saying. it’s down to you how far you want to go with it quick fix and it will last some time is to cap over it but proper job would be to rip out rotten timber treat the ends of any rotten. Rafters and replace with new fascia soffit. Rot spreads at the end of the day you need to eradicate it or you will continue to have issues

Only if the wood is in good condition bot if not it will need to be replaced thanks felix Doran from profascia home improvement limited

Capping over the timber barge board is fine as long as the timber is in good condition and no rot is present, if so then that has to be treated property. Removal is a bigger job and almost definitely result in further work to under cloak and cement to tiles
