What should I expect to pay for new gutters and fascias?

Hi,
I need to replace the gutters on my property, back and front along with the fascias.
The gutter has been leaking and so the paint is peeling off the wooden fascia board. I think the wood is still sound and am hoping to just have the clip on plastic fascia fixed to the original wood. On top of that I need black bog standard guttering renewing too.
I would say size is roughly 10 mtrs long, at back and front. I don't need to renew downpipes as neighbour did these when he moved in next door, they are shared. My house is a semi and there are no fascias at the side.
Can anyone give me an idea what I can expect to pay to have this work done? Just so I have an idea of price in my head when I ask for quotes.
I'd love to try and do it myself, but there's no chance I can get up the ladder :/
I live on the border Merseyside / Lancashire (just in case there is a North / South price change!!)
Thanks for any help

    Update:-
    I posted a job on rated people.
    Two companies came and quoted.
    Apparently the soffits and fascias are fine just paint peeling.
    First company quoted for replacing guttering, and sanding and repainting the soffits and fascias for £280
    Second one quoted for same above but also to scrape all the moss off the tiled roof )as that it what is affecting the gutters, they are full of old moss which has fell of the roof).
    He charged £240, so cheaper, but also includes scraping the moss off.
    Sounds like a fair price to me.
  • I live in Buckinghamshire I had several quotes but went with a local firm . They did a fantastic job at £90 per meter. MG ROOFLINE in Milton keynes

    I'd want to ascertain that for myself. Many of the installers are bodge-it merchants. Fixing rotting woodwork costs them time and money, so they'll happily just mount UPVC onto the dodgy woodwork, where it will be fine for a year or so. When it detaches, they'll be long gone.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    the quotes are for sanding and painting, not UPVC covering, but you are right that a upvc bodge is all too common
