My soffit and facia boards were replaced by the previous owner (Everest I think) with UPVC ones and they are of the non-vented no holes anywhere variety. I am now replacing the UPVC cladding which was on the wall below with render. This means we will have to build the outside leaf of the wall up to the bottom of the soffit boards, which they hadn't bothered to do when the house was built, as they knew they could fill the gap with batons and cladding above the top of the upstairs windows.
So, in filling in what is quite a large gap I am concerned that the roof is sufficiently ventilated. Should I replace the soffit boards with vented ones? Is there something else I can do to vent the roof properly?
Many thanks
