    Hi, was just up at the roof on our new build and noticed I could see the timber between the gutter and the tiles. In parts the roofing felt is tacked down to cover the wood but in other parts like the attached image has none. Is it ok to have the timber exposed like this or should it be covered in?

    firstly I would rather a pressure treated facia board


    the aluminium fascia should go a lot higher than that

    those nails are a disaster for bringing water back into the wood. the clip fixing is a lot better

    why is the gutter so far down from the tiles


    I would expect an eases tray there to support the felt and to make sure any water has to drip off into the gutter.

    Thanks for that. Will be contacting the builder once they are back working and will see what he says. Thanks for the input!
