Rebed roof verge, fix wonky fascia boards, realign guttering


Hi,
was hoping to check a roofing quote for SE England... I've had the
roofer in question do work for me before and he's always struck me as a
great bloke and honest, but I can't help but feel like the quote is
high and was hoping to sanity check it. I think there are a few things that complicate the job that I can't describe well because I just don't really understand, so as long as the quote isn't crazy I'm happy to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Scaffolding included
Remove existing gable end tiles and re-bed
Make good the fascia boards on the gable end
Re-align the guttering to the front of the property
Quote is for £2280 inc. VAT
Many thanks to anyone who has time to comment

Clarifying the fascia board point... at the moment they're quite poorly aligned and stick out below the roof verge in two places. I tried to post links to the photos but just realised I can attach them so have done so to this comment

Scaffolding £800, two days labour for two roofers, £900, £200 for materials/waste disposal, is £1,900 plus vat, £2,280 in total.
That's exactly what I would quote, if the plastics are being re-used, it's quite time consuming as extra care needs to be taken not to damage it all.
Hope it's not the same person that did the original installation because it's pretty poor!1 -
Thanks @Tucosalamanca much appreciated
