uPVC soffits and fascia

tiggerkid

Hi all,

Can anyone give me a ballpark figure to replace uPVC soffits and fascia boards on a 4-bed detached house? I live in Bucks.

Had a quote to paint existing old wooden ones over £2.5K, which I think is ridiculous, so wondering if considering a replacement is a better option in this case.

So if anyone can share their experience, it'd be much appreciated.

Thanks

Our house is a semi, but we had the house and detached garage done, including down spouts and drains for £1400, two years ago.

Had mine done two weeks ago, three bed semi, including gutters and down pipes, £1800.00. Live in Cheshire.

Bear in mind if the house was build pre 1990, the soffits/fascia's have the potential to be asbestos. If they are asbestos, depending on the condition of them, you could put the UPVC ones over them as opposed to completely removing them. However if they are asbestos and they do need removing, that might cost you a little bit more as you'll probably need an asbestos contractor in to do the job.

I have a two bedroom semi in East Midlands with a high gable end and requires scaffolding just been quoted £1700

Also in bucks

Had ours painted £400, rubbed undercoat, topcoat, two gables probably between 120-150ft worth around the house.

There is another guy doing paint work in our street could ask them.

If you google plastic skirting I got a load of companies that also do the roofline products, some quite nice profiles if you have a gable end to do

Three bed semi in SW England - replaced with new soffits, downpipes etc - £850 (4 years ago)
Make sure that they do replace them - not just cover them up (hiding all sorts of future problems)
