 The main difference with Virtual Replacement and Full Replacement is that most, if not all of the wood remains in place.Where the existing fascia board and soffit are solid we recommend the Virtual Replacement. The reasons for this are simple, firstly we do not need scaffold towers to work from, making the installation quicker and more cost effective (no scaffold hire). Secondly what better structure could you have to build on than what is already there?With all Virtual Replacement installations we first carry out a thorough survey to asses any wet wood. This is done so that the wet wood can be removed and replaced with treated wood before the application of the new products, ensuring that the installed goods are being fitted to a sound structure.As you can see in the diagram, we firstly fit tidy trim (F trim in diagram), this is to enable a straight and neat finish to the soffit board.the soffit board is then cut to size depending on the depth. Tongue and groove soffit is then installed along the existing lengths of wooden soffit. We use stainless steel Polytop nails at the tongue and groove point, this neatly hides away the nails and enhances the finish.The 10mm Fascia board is then fitted to the existing wooden fascia using stainless steel Polytop nails and neatly fits over the newly fitted soffit board.All corners and joints are then finished off with matching trim and the whole installation is sealed.Where possible we will install an Eaves Protection System (E.P.S) which is a non-biodegradable sheet that we slide under the tiles. This ensures that any rainwater will be directed where it belongs, in the gutter!For more information or a FREE no obligation quotation CONTACT US now on
