Do I need particular roofline dentals in windy area?

Would I need to purchase particular roofline dentils for my home as I live in the highlands and it can get quite windy here, especially during the winter?

"Yes, in exposed or high-wind areas you should use:

• Securely fixed fascia and soffits
• Stronger brackets and closer fixing centres
• High-quality fixings (stainless or galvanised)
• Properly secured guttering

In very exposed areas, some systems are rated for higher wind loads. It’s worth mentioning your location to the installer so they allow for this."

"Yes there is a specialist roofing company that will specialise in high wind areas, if you use standard roofing lintels, I once used them on a roof and the first time a strong wind hit them they was gone"
