How much to rebuild two chimneys?

Hi
I have very big problems going on at the moment, which I would like to discuss later (long story). In the meantime, are there any builders on here who could give me a rough figure for putting up scaffolding on the front of a large detached house, and removing two chimney stacks' then rebuilding them and putting render on them?
Also, how many days work would that take, approximately?
It is a big house on the London/Surrey borders, built in 1904, and although a new roof was fitted 12 years ago, the chimneys stacks, which are quite high were left alone, so they're the original ones built in 1904.
Would anyone have a rough idea of cost of job?
Many thanks in advance

Why would you render them? if they have render on, it will have been to extend their lives cheaply. If you're doing it, enjoy the brickwork!
Do you have a picture? The way you describe, they sound like some we're having to do in Chiswick and the two are going to come happily into five figures, but it is a very big house with very big chimneys.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
