Depend on the condition of your fascia board, if the wood fascia is free of rots then a L-shape upvc fascia will do over the old fascia board. If the old fascia board is coming off for whatever reason then you need a approximately 25mm thickness upvc fascia board. I don't use screw & cap as they can be a bit of a eyesore plus they do dis-coloured after a while. The white plastic cover nail head are the best for fixing or whatever colour you need.
