Quote advice please

Hi,

I was after some advice as to whether I have been quoted too much for a guttering job of which I have detailed below.

The house is a detached bungalow with guttering running along the front & rear of the property which is approx 22 ft in length both sides. The downpipe height's are approx 9 foot.

We have had a quote which invlolves the following: -

(1) - To remove existing gutters, fascia boards & soffit boards to front & rear of property.

(2) - To supply & fit new timber fascia boards & cover with black ash U.P.V.C fascia boards.

(3) - To supply & fit new black ash U.P.V.C soffit boards.

(4) - To supply & fit new felting to go under existing felt & go into new gutter.

(5) - To supply & fit new black half round guttering & round downpipes to front & rear of property.

Before I reveal how much I have been quoted how much should I expect to pay for this work?

Thx.
Lee.

Not the right way to do it. Get a quote for replacement black ash boards which are thicker than the thin covering boards and are nailed directly onto the rafters so no need for backing wood.

Bear in mind black is very expensive

Ok so you wouldn't use U.P.V.C covering at all then?

£1600-1800. But as stated by mw roofline just get 18mm pvc fascia then there is no need for timber.

Ok thanks for the advice.

The reason I am asking is because 1 guy quoted £1,280 & another guy quoted me £360.00.

So obviously I'm very confused.

you would be lucky to get the material for £360.00.
and as stated replacement upvc fascia can be fitted without a backing board.
get more estimates!

£1280 is still very cheap(I wouldnt enetertain it fot that price) but then again some people have no work on and in that situation you better of out making some thing than sitting at home making nothing.Like alsiter said,get more quotes.

£360.00.

That will probably be for gloss black fascias which have zero guarantee. I wouldn't put gloss black fascias on my dog's kennel.

Make sure its black ash/blackgrain (the white stuff with the laminate over it)

We'll do it for £1900 [We're in Manchester in October ]
