When it comes to adding a look to the exterior of your house, it could be either wood or the new uPVC facias and uPVC soffits. However, using wood is an older approach and it has to be replaced with a more modern element. Whether you want to just clad over your older material or want to replace it completely with the new one, the UPVC sure proves to be cost effective, longer lasting and better looking.
However, just cladding over the older material is the most ideal way to protect your roofline. It is a complete replacement which will ensure complete protection. Though the older material may not have any visible damage at the time of change or replacement it may rot fast due to the trapped moisture. After all it is wood and it may have attracted some worms or pest infections. While changing over by stripping the older thing, you may need to change the tile row and put a rubbery strip above the guttering.
If your wooden structure is not too old and checked against any rotting or damage, it is also fine to go for just a
cladwork. The wood will offer a very steady and flat surface for the cladding material to be fitted over. This will save a lot of time and money. There are some readymade fascias and soffits joints to be installed which are easy to fit, especially if you have decided to do it yourself. Cladding work can be handled well by you if you take due care while being on the height and nailing and fixing the ventilation and badger boards.
If you want the complete stripping job done for replacing your older elements with the newer ones, you would need to call the expert professionals to do the job. However, the aim is to provide your house a practical, easy to handle and effective roofline protection.
