I can't comment if the quote is fair.  BUT I see no mention of insulation.

 

So I would stop and think what you want.

 

Dormers, particularly old ones are poorly built and poorly insulated.  If you are going to the trouble of replacing rotten cladding, I would first stop and think is that all you want to do, or would you rather use the opportunity to upgrade it more and make it a much better insulated space, quite possibly for little extra cost compared to just re cladding it?
