    Sorry for the delay in replying - it's 5m at the front and 5m at the back, adding up to 10m. And on reflection it will be the same at the side, i.e. 2 x 5m lengths making up the inverted 'V' shape at side of house.

    Does this seem reasonable? What am I looking for in a quote - been told on another thread that there should be a minimum thickness for the PVC used.

    For full replacement the fascia board should be a minimum thickness of 16mm

    They can go up to 25mm thick but that board is normally used for new build projects where its been specified by the architect, it can be used on replacement fine but its a little unessercery & a tad more expensive.

    In your price you should really be getting;
    New boards installed
    Existing boards removed
    Over fascia protection
    10 year insurance guarante
    All waste & ruble removed

    Was that including the tile end covers (individual dry verge)?
    Was the soffit vented, flat or hollow (3 plank effect)?
    Was the guttering square/round or ogee (swirly face to it)?

    20 mtrs of full replacement fascia, 9mm thick soffit, over fascia protection & square/round gutter all in white would be around £1150-£1250 + vat from a reputable company with all the right scaffolding, trained fitters & insurances
  • I used this company and they were really good for ordering parts if you need them. Search BuildingPlasticsUK on google.
