    Replacement soffits and fascias

    Hi folks. Bit of a random question, but here goes. I just had the rotten old wooden soffits/fascias/gutters replaced on my house with new PVCu units. This includes fascias on the flat-roofed extension at the back of the house. On the back wall the fascia stands out from the rear wall by a centimetre or two. It's attached to the beams ('rafters'?), so I don't think it's badly fitted. However, I can see into the flat roof i.e. there's insulation and wooden beams visible. There's no mesh or anything to stop insects crawling up. Is this normal? I appreciate that it should probably be open for ventilation, but is it normal to use a mesh or filler of some type?

    Well

    You should have a grilled typed soffit around the top end underneath the facier, this is how it is usually done(from experience) for ventilation, it shouldnt be left just bear (GRRR), as this would probably lead to a infestation of some sort... so i would deffo get onto whoever installed it a ask them why they have not done it, if they say you dont need it, dont listen insist that they do it.


    Hope that helps
