Cost of updates on new house purchase

I've been viewing a few houses and they all need differing degrees of work done which I'm trying to quantify.
I was hoping people could help me with a few ball park figures rather than getting a range of generic quotes.
Any idea on a price range for the following would be great :
Middle of the range kitchen
White Goods
Double glazing PVC for approx 8 windows
Double glazing French Patio doors
Guttering
Fascias
Boiler
Mid range bathroom (bath/shower, toilet and wash basin)
WC (toilet and wash basin)
Thanks for any help, just want to build up a quick mental picture.

Including fitting, too many years in rented accomodation have dulled my skills !0

Thankyou, thats great info.
Mostly as I expected but I am surprised by the double glazing.
An estate agent (shouldn't trust them) told me I'd pay about 1.5k0 -
Yes 5k is right for the double glazing, I just paid a similar amount for 7 windows in London, but one was a huge bay with a fancy tilt mechanism.0

That's useful to know.
Can I ask how much a good-quality - ie last a lifetime/sturdy/German then maybe? kitchen would be. Can I hazard a guess at £15,000 and be somewhere in the right region? (probably without building-in any of the "white goods"/cooker).0
