So looking at the pic, the side nearest the trees faces south. Well it looks like the trees are sheltering (from sun and wind)that side, so possibly that side remains wetter for longer than the front or rear?
Having said that, the soffets on the front look pretty ratty.
*edit* are you also trying to suggest the trees on that side have caused a DG Window seal to go as well?
You need to stop trying to find someone to blame for everything FFS.
I reckon those trees made your car tyres wear out, your last bike not fit you, and your new one not steer properly you know. I'd totes be suing the trees if I was you, there's no way it can be the fault of any other action or lack of.
😉
OP - have you done as stimpy has suggested about 5 times now???
Lets just get one thing straight.... Im not trying blame anyone for anything, I am merely stating facts.
All of the house windows were replaced at the same time. The only one that has blown and has two inches of water at the bottom is the one on the side of the house the tree's are.
All of the soffits and gutterings are fine apart from the gable end and the corners on the side the tree's are, whether or not that is down to poor maintenance from the previous owners I dont know ?
It may be a coincidence or not ??
All I want to is have new soffits and guttering all round the house and I know its going to cost quite a bit to do, I dont want someone elses trees damaging them once I have done.
For me to cut the branches back will be very hard and if I pay someone else to do it will cost quite a bit to do.
Oh and you maybe onto something with the tyre wear etc 🙄
According to my local council website there are no TPO on the trees.
Don't know why you're getting so much grief over this, to be honest.
The trees could be providing more shade along that side of the house, so the soffits aren't drying out when they get wet; they are staying wet/damp for longer so they have rotted quicker. It could be a factor.
Whether getting the branches trimmed back enough to prevent it happening again; I am not so sure about.
But, I would want the trees trimming if the branches are actually hitting the house on occasion.
Hope you get it sorted.
Is there a smilie for banging your head against a brick wall?
