I could always go back and ask question(s) to clarify anything or even suggest, if you could let me know what specification i should ask for?
Secondly it would help me to know what would be fair price for the work?
I guess you probably gathered that its a new built not replacement job.0 -
Buy materials then get a joiner to quote. ?
we did our own, best quality upvc cost under 200!0 -
thanks for your response, we are just unable to go through this as we are both working and finding a joiner to quote and securing the material does require time, something we both struggle with.0

How can anybody give an idea of the cost from what you have given ie its for a porch and extension .you need to ask for full replacement fascia at least 16mm thick although we do 16mm and 22mm and 10mm soffit board not the hollow cladding this company was usingif you think peoples advice is helpfull please take the time to clicking the thank you button it gives great satisfaction0 -
Hi I have just had new facias, soffits and guttering done but I can not open my window now as it hits of the soffits. Was told by person who done it , it's fine and can't be fixed as boards are to low. Who should be reasonable for putting this right me or the company?0
