Painting exterior of 4 bed house

Weve been quoted £600 to prepare and paint the outside of an average size 4 bed detached house. All windows, sofits, fascias, porch, but no masonry how does this sound? We are in Essex. Thanks.

    Check what your getting as it does sound _very_ good! Most trades expect 150->200 per day so works out as 3 or 4 days work. hmmm
