When putting up new soffits or replacing them, the best option is to fit SGK PVC soffits. Our PVC soffits material will save maintenance and looks great - there will be no need for repainting every other year, just wiping them down with a damp cloth should bring them back to their original glory.
When replacing wooden soffits, it is recommended that the old soffits are all removed. Some 'professionals' will clad over existing wood but this risks trapping moisture which could cause serious rot in the structure.
Current building regulations require ventilation in the soffits for new buildings (equivalent to a one inch gap along the whole perimeter), although not absolutely necessary, when fitting replacement soffits, it is worth considering fitting ventilated soffits to improve ventilation of the roof void
Removing the Soffits
If you decide to use the method of wooden fascias with UPVC, it is best to remove the existing soffit. As most existing soffits fit into a slot on the inside of the fascia, it is possible to release the soffit by cutting off the bottom of the fascia.
Attaching the Soffits
Once the fascias have been fixed into position
The building side of the replacement soffit can now be attached in the following ways:
- Into a uPVC channel fixed to the wall of the house.
- Screwed to a wooden batten fixed above the soffit to the wall of the house.
- To the top of the outer brickwork using either a batten down from the rafters or structural glue between the soffit and the top of the wall.
In Summary
- As mentioned above, to do the job properly, the original timber soffits must be removed before fitting replacements.
- Any rot in the ends of the rafter should be repaired using good quality timber treated with preservative.
- Make sure that any old nails in the ends of the rafters are removed (or knocked in below the surface).
- The eaves felt should be checked and repaired.
