Concrete guttering job / double glazing order & prices.

Just purchased a house which has this very dated concrete guttering system to front and back which has a few leaks.
I am looking to have it removed and a upvc fascia board and guttering installed.
I will also be getting new double glazing installed in the house.
I have had a couple of roofers take a look, they have both mentioned that the concrete guttering acts as a lintel to the double glazing so will have to be very carefully removed to ensure it can stay in place to act as a lintel for the windows.
One guy said get the roof job done first and another guy said get the windows replaced first so that any problems with the new guttering can be addressed to match the new windows. I am not sure which order it should be in, roof or windows first?
I am also looking to get a dry verge system installed at the gable end at the same time.
Can anyone advise of what sort of price I should be paying for this job?
- remove and replace the concrete guttering (including scaffolding)
-install upvc fascia board (not sure if i need a soffit)
- install new guttering and downpipes
- replace wet verge to dry verge on gable end
Any other advice I should take into consideration before I hire someone?
Thankyou in advance.
