This is helpful thankyou! One question is what if you have to repair both corners of the fascia underneath, eaves AND the gutter corner? What order of things would you do? Got both corners of my roof looking like this :(
Generally, you start from the bottom and work up. So, Facia corner then gutter corner then tiles. If your fascia corner is leaking however, it will usually be coming from the gutter corner leaking onto the fascia
This might sound like a stupid question, is it OK if I just put silicone straight on (without removing the existing silicone and unscrewing the gutter)?
it can be done but it is not as good and can leak. also make sure you really clean the existing silicone as any dirt will stop it adhering tithe existing. it is not the best method though
Thanks for another realistic repair video. Qustion: do you apply sealant between the metal before pop rivetting the tabs?
Yes I do . It just makes it hold better.
Is the piece call ed roof tile starter, the one you lift it on on 0:45?
Thanks for sharing, the video is easy to follow.

Thank you very much. Every corner on our entire house is leaking terribly. House is less than 6 years old.
What kind of screw did you use to joint the piece together

What sealant do you recommend?
Use a roof plumbing silicone. A supplier or hardware store should have some just make sure it says roofing on the tube.
