Recently Hyndburn Homes have 'repaired' the soffit boards.
They replaced half of the frontage of this block of flats with white PVC, and 'repaired' my half by scraping:eek: off flaking paint and repainting with black.
It looks odd - money scrimping in the extreme.

I kept my windows closed while they scraped.:rolleyes:

Last year when we had a new TV ariel installation, they said that all existing ariels and wiring would be removed - they haven't done that.
So the 'decorators' painted over all the spaghetti wiring clipped to the soffit boarding - so that when it is eventually removed it will need repainting again.:rolleyes:
