Perhaps I am catastrophizing? It doesn't look good though. This is fresh lime btw.
Thanks for looking anyway.

ok cool, so any old plastic trim should be fine. what do I use to glue the lime render to the trim and to the trim and the soffit though? Thanks.Or ad a thin make up strip
Get a tradesman to sort it
YeahMy roofer will do it, ima muppet it likely. Still curious what dangers are for this to be left out of curiosity? Is it just insects n critters getting in more easily or can the new render actually get blown after enough years left like that?
Thanks all.
Is a viccy terrace, no cavity and granite. Lime render tooWhat is the render applied to?
Some render systems need to be open at the top, for ventilation of what is the structure behind…
If this is needed, there should be an insect mesh up there somewhere…
You can drop the facia down below it, and still leave a gap for ventilation…
Good luck
my roofer said its not bad being at most 1.5cm gap in some places and to just use exterior caulk to fill it. Got some ordered up.

Hes the only one to see it in person though, but I guess he isnt responsible for fitting the render to the soffit in his work. It was only small stretches of the front that had that big a gap. Oh man I'll look again tomorrow. Think half the width had no gap at all, some 1 cm. small portion 1.5.You've render specialists & qualified folk on here and you prefer to believe a roofer???
I hear electricity will be too expensive for tradesmen's tools by then.In six months time somthing else will be more important.
