Capping type
Capping fascias and soffits should only be installed when the existing roofline materials are in excellent condition, and are completely rot free. This involves covering over, or ‘capping’ the existing timber leaving it in place, thus keeping all visible areas maintenance free. Care should be taken if selecting this method to ensure that any future problems are not merely covered over. This process is often used inappropriately by ‘cowboys’ as a cheap, quick fix, and Duchy Ltd will only use this method under very limited circumstances.
