I'm in the process of building an extension with a flat roof. Looking to recreate a metal fascia/soffit like the picture below. My google searches have been a little unsuccessful. Most of the fascia's I find are designed for pictched roofs. Would I be looking for off-the shelf fascia/soffits or are these usually something you get fabricated? What should I be searching for? Fascia, soffit, overhang, coping or something else? I'm still in the design phase so would be easy for me to adjust the depths etc of the timber the metal face will be attached to if that saves money on bespoke.

Hi, We are getting conflicting advice so any thoughts that might help us get through this very much appreciated. We are building a 4m deep x11m long single story extension on the back of our house, mono-pitched roof joined to the exiting house. Due to the lay of the land and upper story windows we are limited for height at the back/house side (3m) and still want to achieve a fall above 5 degrees. There are two questions this raises. 1. One installer recommended a vented or cold roof zinc installation (something to do with moisture trapped during installation of the zinc) where as our design/architect guy recommended a warm roof i.e. unvented. Has anyone got views on which is better and/or any advantages of each? 2. If we were to go down the vented route. I have been unable to see how the back/house side of the venting would work and upstand for that matter. I have seen venting details on roof ridges. Has anyone got any experience of how that might work? Again any help much appreciated. Thanks Graeme Extension 26-01-21 - Drive side view.tif
