New fascia boards / soffits.

Options
Has anyone had this done recently and can tell me what they paid please?
Ours will be 6 linear metres x 2.
I’ll have to add scaffolding for the back but I already know the cost for that as we recently had a roof / chimney repair,  should have had the fascias done at the time really 🙄
I woke up to bits of rotten wood on the conservatory roof , when we had the fascias/gutters replaced 20 years ago they must have pinned the new fascias to the old wooden ones and because the sarking into the guttering degraded over the years, the water had obviously got in between,  that’s been solved with new sarking and battens but I’m concerned the fascias are going to fall off !

    Well, IMO with scaffolding and without any unexpected complications it's a simple 1-day job for one person. Max 2 days.
    I replaced my fascia and refitted the guttering on one side with a ladder and without any help.
    And if you want your new fascia to last, pay extra for plastic. And add felt support trays if you don't have them.
