Replacing the eaves felt is not normally a job done on its own, usually you would only notice the eaves felt when carrying out other jobs such as replacing fascia boards or roof tiles. We’re proud to offer a selection of eaves vents from a number of high quality and trusted brands, including Gildevale, KLOBER and Timloc. Our products span over-fascia ventilators, eaves comb fillers, fascia vent strips and felt underlay support trays. You’ll find a variety of sizes available too, so you can select the best fit for your project. Supporting the guttering – Gutters run along the bottom of the eaves, gathering rainwater or melted snow, and guiding it away from the structure.

The loft was insulated 20+ years ago with that vacuum cleaner fluff stuff, piped in from the ground. There is a board floor in there now as I use it for storage and The Train Set (every man has to have a railway layout), compacting the fluff. Now I think about it, it might be a good idea to vacuum any fluff out of the soffits in case water gets into them to give them a chance to dry out (Also, if it comes out damp, I will know there is a problem) Martin Lewis: What the Autumn Statement means for you – including wages, benefits, pensions, ISAs, housing, national insurance and more Abbreviated eaves – This is when the eaves end as close to the edge of the building as possible. There is almost no overhang at all with this type of eaves. Fascia – The fascia runs vertically under the horizontal edges of a roofline. It is fixed directly to the roof trusses and supports the bottom row of tiles. It is also the fixing point for guttering. When planning a roof structure, there are four main types of eaves to consider. The right choice will depend on aesthetic preferences as well as the rest of the roof structure. The four main types are:

Features & Benefits: Eaves Guard Felt Support Tray

Eaves protectors must be installed with the felt running over the top of them. I would recommend the eaves protector is combined with a ventilation tray, unless you already have a well ventilated roof - most roofs are not well ventilated. Ideally ridge venting or tile vents would also be installed. Autumn Statement: State pension confirmed to rise by 8.5% from April 2024 – while some benefits will go up by 6.7% To replace the eaves felt/tray requires erecting access equipment to roof height then removing the first course of roof tiles, then the old eaves felt is cut away a few inches above the fascia, and an eaves felt tray can be slid under the existing roofing felt, ensuring it overlaps into the guttering, then secured into place with nails into the rafters. Older felt is not UV stable so will rot where the felt is exposed to the sun and break down its structure allowing water to penetrate behind the fascia boards and possibly causing damage to the rafters and any timber fascias.

Providing ventilation – Roof ventilationcan be incorporated along the entire length of the eaves, providing low-level ventilation to the roof space and helping prevent condensation; a requirement of BS 5250:2021. The tail of felt clearly hasn't been needed for many years, and I think the watermarks are a red herring, as I don't imagine water going uphill from the tiles to run down the fascia, I'm 90% sure it is overflow from the gutter: I hope that doesn't get over the fascia! With the state of the internal felt, if a torrent was running down under the tiles it would have got in the loft by now. I've declined the job, I'm hoping the Summer will be dry to give me time to find out/make my mind up.
