Changing soffits (and maybe fascias and gutters) before a re-roof. Is that stupid?

Hi folks

Hope you're all enjoying the nice weather.

I've almost finished hacking off the concrete render from our stone building. We'll be having it re-pointed, but not rendered, and as such the soffits are no longer wide enough. Plus, they need to be the ventilated type on some sections. So once the pointing is finished, the plan is to put in new soffits to the correct width and with ventilation slots where needed.

While I'm at it, I might change or at least paint the fascias and barge boards, and I hope to put in deeper/better gutters.

The thing is, at some point in the future we are likely to need a re-roof. It could be soon, it could be a few years time. Would it be daft to put in new soffits/fascias/gutters and THEN have a re-roof? Or are they pretty separate things? Is there a usual order of events?

Many thanks

Do it.

Thanks @^woody^ ... But do what? Change it all now and don't worry about the future re-roof? If we do that, will they need taking down and re-doing again when we have the re-roof?

Cheers

Do what you proposed, soffits and fascias (and gutters, and eaves protector) first and re-roof when you like.
