Soffit fallen

[Pocster]

Assume this isn’t a major issue ? I.e won’t cause a leak and can be fixed from outside via a ladder ?

[Onoff]

Vermin, particularly birds WILL get in. Ask me how I know.

Freak, driving rain maybe.

If you have a scaffold tower it would be much better than a ladder.  Are you just putting back the bits that came off, or renewing the whole thing?

[epsilonGreedy]

Did it fall due to general rotting in the eaves? Just saying.

Don’t call him a freak! Fixable from outside, tower would be best, should not let wet in.

Presumably you were able to examine the broken bit? Not asbestos?

Looks a Rachman rental.

 

My insulation got disturbed and ended up sitting over the vent in the soffit.

Sucked in wind drive rain, then wet the plasterboard below.

So may be a problem, get it fixed.

And a lick of paint on the window would not go a miss.

Wire brush and a lick of paint will make it fine.

Easy from a scaffold tower.

the cause of water getting in, it does look black under there , needs to be addressed. I'd go for ventilated soffet as well.
