I've had a quote for the following work and would like some feedback on whether it seems reasonable or not.
Rake out and re-point brickwork, supply & fit dry verge system £2,490 incl VAT
Including:
• Scaffolding to be erected to gable end to allow access to area in question
• Loose perished mortar to be raked out and renewed from area of gable end roughly from line at horizontal level to bottom of first floor windows upward to verge
• Rake out mortar from verge as required, fit timber batten and supply and fit sectional dry verge system
• Replace any damp insulation to loft
• Brush down internal brickwork to inside of loft, and ensure rafter is not ‘bridging’ to brick work via blown or perished pointing
• Works estimated to be undertaken over three days
Any advice, thoughts etc welcome.
