Nice to see someone using hand tools with skill! Probably quicker than cordless certainly cheaper, without the hassel of charging or theft. Also no verbal bull crap! Well done 👍

If you set that box section back a bit on the right you can use the ripped down corner piece to fully cover where the barge board meets it.

@leer798 3 ай бұрын

Not too bad that. Better cutting the box end first , then the return, so the return butts against the box end, so it allows you to cover the barge board to box end straight joints with the long corner, as the barge board comes past the return piece and sits against the box end, by just notching out the lip on the barge to pass the return.

@jonbarrie7002 4 ай бұрын

Great tutorial. Appreciated the extra time it takes to do the more indepth videos, but they are a lot more helpful. Gives a great insight for people entering the trade or re training. How do you calculate the facia upstand? Is it specified or is it just the correct depth for each property? I think i read somewhere it was a calculation of the depth of the roof covering plus a bit to allow the last tile to kick up a bit? Keep up the great work.

@ashleydavenport3794 4 ай бұрын

Thanks mate! The upstand on the fascia is sometimes hard to achieve all depends on high of brickwork and how far the tails stick out. We’ve added a 4x1 sub fascia here to allow it to hang over more to give it slightly more kick but I think it could have done with at least an inch. I’d say it always wants to be about 2/3” above the rafter so that’s a inch for the batten and like you say abit to kick the last tile up, if the roof is steeper it would probably want more kick still! Cheers for your comment 👌

No mate the barge is 150mm so hangs down past the soffit by quite abit. And it’s cut in to that corner then I put a pin in the bottom edge to keep it up tight, never had an issue with a gap appearing and been doing it that way for about 15 years haha 🤞. Cheers for your comment 👍👌

beautiful Neat workmanship Ash .. what brand ? of fascia/ softia Do you think 🤔 is the Best Quality? and if you use the thinner fascia Do you build a (sub-fascia boarding )for strength & support .

@ashleydavenport3794 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for your comment! Not tooo sure on brands tbh every job I go to the site supply the materials and I’m guessing they probably go as cheap as possible haha but it’s all pretty similar! We used a sub fascia on this roof to push the fascia out more as there wasn’t much kick but don’t usually fit the sub! Some sites want it fitting all the time, I guess it gives a better fix for guttering etc etc, but need to have the spare 4x1 todo it! Haha

I built a wooden frame for my box ends on my extension so that they were a lot more rigid and supported than what you've done here but my roof overhang is 800mm so I suppose needs more than the fascia to support itself. But looking at the roof construction on that newbuild you are on, the timber used is about similar dimensions as my roof battens.
