Cover screw holes in UPVC Fascia

[anonymous-user]

I’m looking to move a CCTV Camera. What would be best to cover the screw holes in the UPVC Fascia?

[sherman]

Put screws back in the hole using one of these screw caps to neaten it up.

You can get white plastic screw covers id just put the screws bad in with one of those on.

Ah beaten to it.

I’ve seen those caps. Plus the nails you can use. I’ve seen this

Because it’s round it has 4 holes either corner.

I would probably just neaten the rough edges and use a decent white silicone to fill.

I’ll try a bit of silicon. There is this company:

Either screws with covers or a bit of silicone. The rest of it isn’t very tidy anyway

I may get one just to see if it will fit.

Dummy camera over the top?

There may well be a larger hole behind the camera where the cable comes through.

There is. It may have to be a new fascia board.

Anything else will look a mess.

Leave that camera where it is, buy another one for the new location.

Just cut a rectangle of upvc the depth of the soffit and slightly wider than the camera then stick on top. The existing piece of upvc has probably been stuck on to an old piece of ply which has been nailed down into from the top, which may all come off when you try and remove the fascia. Depends how big a job you want to give yourself.

Get some Polynails as they have plastic head covers. Several years ago we had new upvc soffits/gutters and the fitter gave me some as spares. Still got some in a box. Be careful hitting them though as the plastic can break easily.
