Top tip is go uPVC! I think you can get everything you need from Wickes and it will be far less faff.
Yup I was planning too as you say less hassle and would match the house, I'm just not sure about the "L" shape part.

The L-Shape is intended to cap a wooden board, which means you don't have to faff to with finishing it so long as you have treated timber.
So there is another wooden board behind the Fascia?

No, the L-shape is intended to cap existing fascia boards. But if yours are rotten then you could simply replace them with treated timber and then cap them with uPVC so that you don't have the faff of all that gloss work and the maintenance is practically non-existent.
Righto. The way I read it the 9mm replacement boards went over the existing wood boards but the 18mm boards are complete replacement. But what you say makes more sense.

I see what your saying but can't see how that would work out...
Indeed, hence my confusion. (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/up.gif)
