Quote for fascia and guttering

Hi,

I've been quoted £500 to replace guttering and fascia on the back of my terraced house. I've measured and it is approximately 5 metres. I have a flat roof extension and they have said they need to put scaffolding up on extension to reach the roof. The quote is to remove the old stuff (although this is already hanging off) and replace with white UPVC fascia and black guttering.
I want to move soon so don't really want to spend too much but it does need sorting.

Opinions would be appreciated - does this seem reasonable?? (I'm in North West)

Thanks

    Sounds OK when include cost of scaffolding which us required due to Working At Height Regs from which there is no escape. £ 150 for guttering plus iro £ 100 for fascia plus the balance for the scaffolding is my guess

    Cheers

  • I just wanted to say thank you very much for the replies. I decided to get another couple of quotes and they are closer to £360 including the scaffolding so will go for one of those.
