Wow, prices of FSB materials must have gone down a lot since I was buying them 10 years ago! If only other prices had done the same.

Guttering will be around that facia and soffit will be £100 then then cladding and fixings how much is there?

[chrisgixer]

Cladding is just a PVC sheet about 1ft by 6ft above two windows.

Another £20 should cover that then, so around £500-£550 should be a fair estimate.  but I suspect it will be well over the grand.

Sharp intake of breath and a tut  that'll need scaffolding.  that's what they will say. 

[chrisgixer]

Yep, then they'll scamper up there on a ladder and bounce it across as required.

Oh yes, scaffolding needed.. I stand by my original number..

BTW my next door neighbour does roofing/guttering/etc/etc if you want a second quote

[chrisgixer]

Yes first quote was 1200.

Down to £890 so far.

The PVC-U cost bugger all, bought a stack of it to do the MIL's large double garage and front and had change from 200 notes.

Guttering costs very little.

Yes, it's always the taking of the wee wee which forms the most expensive part of these quotes.  Often comes under the heading of labour or miscellaneous
