Should eaves trays/eaves protection run the full length of the fascia?

"Yes. This will stop water collecting on membrane and allow it to run into the gutter."

"Hi, eaves trays are 1.5m long. You do have to overlap them 100-150mm so i would always count and extra length per side.

They go under the tiles/ slates and over the top of the fascias and into the gutters so completely protect the top of the fascias.
