Over fascia ventilation

[Matt182]

Hi,

We have just had new fascia and soffits installed and we asked for over fascia ventilation, I was boarding the loft out last 2 days and noticed there is zero airflow even with a breeze outside.

Used a smoke machine, and couldn't see any smoke exit, that I could see anyway.

I wouldn't normally question if it was installed correctly. However we have had lots of problems, so wanted to check it was indeed installed correctly as I cant see any vents.

I can only see eave trays.

That was my fear, assuming from my photos that if it was fitted you would be able to see the vents?

As above, underlay support trays , no ofv. They would have been clearly visible

And you wouldn't need to get that close either as you would see daylight as well as a breeze!

Thank you for your replies, I can't understand why its not been fitted... makes no sense.

Now the fun job of bringing yet another problem up.

I think is some sort of pvc, house was built in 1990.

Lap vents?

I do have them already but for some reason they don't work, can never feel any air coming through

We phoned him and he admitted to not fitting them, said he can cut holes in the soffits lol his coming back to fit ofv.
