Guttering/fascias/soffits + garage roof

Options
Just had a quote for roofing work which surprised me quite a lot.
Three bed detached house with garage at side.
Replace all Guttering/fascias/soffits  &  fix leaks on garage roof (Needs some new sections + flashing replaced).
But it does need a fair bit of scaffolding put up to access the roof over the garage and at the back of the house.
Quote is £5500 - is that high?
How long would you expect the work to take?

    We just had our gutters soffits fascias bargeboards replaced and end caps put on. Old bits removed including the old timber beneath being replaced. We paid £1850 for a 3 bed semi with attached garage, no garage roof issues and they had minimal scaffolding materials. Our highest quote was £2250. It took 2 of them 2 days 9am-4pm ish. 
  • I’ve just had a quote of £3360 for similar work for 4 bed detached in the East Midlands. No garage issues.

    Recently paid just under £4k for 4 bed detached/integral garage.  Very high eaves, so substantial scaffolding all round.

    Could have used a cheaper company, but this one had done some work for us before (doors and windows) so we trusted them to do a good job again.
