Fascias, soffit and downpipes/gutter replacement

[TryC]

Hi,

 

Sorry if this is in the wrong section buy I'm not sure where it belongs if not in this section.

 

I'm wanting to have our current gutters replaced on a semi, and we've just been quoted nearly £4k for nee fascias, soffits and downpipes/guttering.

 

This seems exceptionally high...is this the norm? as I know little of gutters, fascias and soffits and the like!

 

For a quote such as rhis, for ehere I'm based, in a town outside in Lancashire,  not Manchester...is this sound about right?

 

thanks in advance

That sounds quite expensive.  I would have thought that £2,000 would be doable, plus the cost of the scaffold.  Maybe get another couple of quotes.

thanks! will be asking for more quotes.

 

also, just a thought, is it better to get the guttering sorted before a possible extension or perhaps the people doing the extension could do it at the same time, or get it done after the extension?
