painting facia boards

Post by bungalow123 » Wed Jun 10, 2009 8:09 am

Is it necessary to remove the guttering when painting facia boards as it is plastic and could crack or fail to seal when replaced? If not how do I paint without getting it on the guttering?

No but its a good idea. Unless the guttering is very old and britle I wouldn't worry. If its in that bad nick anyway it probably needs replacing so you now have a good excuse to do so.

Carefully. And you'll only be able to do the bits that show anyway.

Cheers
