The replacement plastic alternatives for the roofline are UPVC fascia and soffit boards. With a great pace, they are becoming the norm in roof edge construction and renovation.

They are designed and manufactured so that they do rot, and in most cases, they last for a lifetime. A usual replacement project will include organizing an arena tower or work platform, removing the first course of roof tiles, and then removing the existing timber roofline before installing the new plastic boards. The operation is concluded by putting a new gutter system and strong eaves felt tray before the tiles are laid back onto the roof. Furthermore, concerning all the building work, techniques can reduce the amount of work ramified – saving the homeowner money. Hence, these options are preferred by the homeowner to go economical. One of the known procedures is Capping.

Capping is commonly also known as over-cladding. It is a method of roof edge construction where the initial timber boards are left in position, and the upgraded UPVC plastic system is conveniently fixed upon the old structure. This method is comparatively more economical as compared to the removal of the old timber. Despite a catch in My Update System, this may seem like a tempting alternative for the homeowner.

There is a probability that the existing boards will be replaced because they are on the verge of life, and the painting is no longer working. Fixation of a thin capping board to an unsound substructure is like an uncalled blunder. This will lead to the spreading of any existing rot that would spread quickly due to poor ventilation.

Many other obstacles are related to the over-clad method, such as how the completed work will look if you live in a terraced or semi-detached property. The overhang of the roof tiles at the eaves level is shrunk by the capping method. This, in turn, would result in rainwater running behind the guttering. This type of felt is extensively utilized to cover over into the guttering. It can prevent water from running behind the guttering, and should the property suffer a broken tile, any water will be guided down the roof and into the gutter, not onto the ceiling.

UPVC products are designed in such a way that they can last for many years. Almost all manufacturers and installers provide a ten-year guarantee on the materials. Furthermore, we have yet to find a company that will offer a warranty on the timber structure these UPVC boards are fixed to.
