Looks pretty good.

Did it work out expensive doing the soffits and fascias yourself ? what i mean is, is it worth it, did you save quite a lot of money ?

Thanks.

No answer ?

Can't anyone tell me if you save a lot on your soffit and fascias if you DIY ?

Or is the saving that small it isnt worth it?

Thanks

depends on where you get your materials, always go to a upvc supplier and pay cash, strike a deal.
and remember to space out the gutter hangers at the correct spaces, and and angle the gutter towards the downpipe.

Thanks for that

Had a quote of £1800 for a semi, (three sides)

i have a roofing company near me think its called proos or something. They have a UPVC outlet at the side of them. Is that the type you mean ?

Thanks.

Yes, it's big saving if you can do it. Mr Plastic are good quality and it's cheaper.

I've done my neighbour big bungalow a couple of years ago, all for sides including gable front, fascia, a box section soffit on the front, (no soffit on three sides) & all guttering, materials approximately £420 didn't need scaffolding though.


Beware of cowboy & rip off

I think i will get a price for materials and see if its worth having a go.
