Fascia capping boards

stuart45

The nails are really sharp and fix well, but being ring shank are hard to pull out if one goes wrong e.g. hitting another nail head.

I'd use 40-50mm and nailed to the rafters through the existing board.

Do you realise that the capping board will move the gutter about 10mm away from the tiles? Is the existing overhanging big enough?

Yes there will be just enough clearance.  Do you need to pilot drill them or just hammer them straight through.stuart45 said:

An overcap depends on the condition of the fascia, soffit etc. If it's rotten it needs to come off. If it's in good condition and the HO just wants something that doesn't needs painting it's OK.

All wood is in good condition, it's my mothers bungalow and she wants it doing after having new one's on the back 3 years ago.
She was quoted £600  can get it for £90 from suppliers.

£90, does that include joints, end caps, poly pop nails, panel adhesive, gutters and brackets

Gutters and brackets don't necessarily need to be changed.

£90 includes capping boards jointing strip and polytop nails gutters look fine but will have a better look when i take them off, not seen anything anywhere about using adhesive ? no need for end caps it butts up to stone.

Some people stick the joint on instead of nailing. If you nail only do one side to allow for expansion.
