Covering CCTV holes on Facia

[Erm yeah that’s hard to pick one]

We’re selling the gaff and wifey wants the CCTV taking down. As a result the 3 mounting holes and the CAT5 cable hole need to be covered. What can I use?

Cat 5 hole I think is 25mm. Facia is white as well. What can I use.

Thank you

white insulation tape? or white silicon works for me

Can’t see the tape staying if I am honest and with the silicon you just fill it and smooth it off.

Buy some of those fake CCTV “security” lights and be done with it?

You could probably even buy some old used analog cameras for a pittance and just throw them up.

have to ask how high are these facias? i was assuming 2 storey, silicone would be the answer but if you have plenty of access and can be bothered you could always use filler and prime and paint. most people wouldnt be bothered if they spotted silicone.

Expanding foam?

I've thought long and hard and a full house rebuild is all you can do really.

That's quite a sizeable hole for a single cat5 cable? Only realising this as I've been doing cable runs and managed to squeeze through 9 cat6 cables through a 25mm hole.

You have the RJ45, coupler and waterproof housing all inline that then is tucked back inside.

For a quick fix for I would just get some thin plastic sheet, cut to size and stick over with a small amount of silicone or other suitable glue.

If you needed UV resistance for years then you need to choose a UV stable plastic, but for selling something like white plasticard which is sold down to 0.25mm and 0.5mm thicknesses is ideal as it won't show much and you can cut with scissors.
