PVC fascias and covers

I'm tearing my hair out trying to find some competatively priced covers for my roof fascias. Does anyone know of anyone online I could try? I've done a google but everyone seems so far away (so expensive postage) or really really expensive. I'm in South Wales btw.

    Umm, not necessarily - it depends on the condition of the timber.

    All down to budget really. You can cover exisitng timber fascias at a reasonable cost and DIY. Screwfix sell them and deliver as well. You can drill vents into the existing timber if you wish. It is also useful if you have asbestos soffit boards and just wish to cover them. You basically just offewr up the board and fix to exisiting surface.

    In an ideal world all existing stuff would be removed first and replaced, but it is very expensive. If the existing timber is of sound condition you should be ok. If it is in bad repair then as sneakymum said it would be a bad idea.

    All IMO of course
