Frequently Asked Questions Handyman
How do I know if my weatherboards need replacing?
Key signs include visible rot or soft spots when you press on the board, paint that is peeling or bubbling repeatedly, gaps opening between boards, or boards that are cracked and no longer sitting flat. If you’re unsure, JFM can assess the extent of the damage and let you know whether repair or replacement is the better option.
Can you repair rotting external timber and fascia boards?
Yes. Rotting fascia boards, external timber, posts and cladding are some of our most common repair jobs. We remove the damaged sections, treat or replace the affected timber, and paint or stain to match the existing finish so the repair blends in.
