Completely strip off gutters, downpipes, wooden fascias and bargeboards and replace with white UPVC ventilated soffits, UPVC fascia & bargeboards, guttering and downpipes. 4 bed detached house with gutters front and back. £3250, they did my neighbors with the exact style house as ours in two days, 3 men all done off ladders. Does it sound too cheap? My neighbor said he another quote for £7500. I am in Lancashire

We had a similar job done on our house (4 bed detached - Wirral) about 18 months ago for £3750 so the price you have been quoted is not ridiculously cheap but is at the lower end of what I would expect.
As always, do some research and ask to see other local jobs they have completed ( and knock on the doors to speak to the householder for feedback).
Good luck1 -
It's the 'all done off ladders' bit that is the red flag for me.
Ditto 4 bed detached, with high gable ends - and scaffolding all round. This was pre-covid, so quoting what we paid wouldn't help, but the extra cost for the scaffolding wasn't cheap.

I'm in the same position as you - 4 bed detached in Lancashire.
£3250 is a very good price. I'm getting quotes around £6-6500 but that's with scaffolding where I think a lot of the costs go.0 -
No Harribo1 I did not go ahead, still thinking about it but I don't think I will be using that company

Mine was done by 'lads on ladders' and they were brilliant. The fact they were also firefighters may have helped!0
