cost of Soffits and Fascia replacement
Greetings all!
I was wondering what sort of price you'd expect to pay to have soffits and fascias done.
It's a square house with good access on 3 sides and easy ladder access on the 4th. Each side it 9m so a total of 36m of materials.
150mm x 16mm fascia
250mm soffit
Guttering and 2 downpipes.
I went to a place that just does supplies and it was about £500 in materials.
The quote to do a 'proper' job was £2200+vat
The guy who I thought would bodge it said £1700 cash
Anyone got any ideas on prices they've been quoted or have paid? At these prices I'll do it myself but I'm rather short of time for
the foreseeable future!
Cheers,
James

If you go on £90 a meter supplied and fixed you won't go to wrong, this is for removal of existing and replace with materials you listed above,
NOT nail over!, has the roof got felt fitted under your tiles James?
If it has what type ?

Blimey!  So you're saying that's quite a good quote then!
The felt is the crappy stuff falls apart when touched... so I guess I should've factored 'eaves protectors' in as well.

Some of our neighbours have gone for the fly-by-night, nail over the existing to make it look good approach. I must take a photo of the neighbours
porch, the new fascia isn't actually long enough to cover the old wood!!

We paid £2500 just before Christmas, they removed and replaced the last two layers of slates and replaced a lot of wood. Has an insurance backed 25
years labour and 50 year materials warranty.

Did mine last year, cost me about £350 in materials exc. vat.
Also took off the bottom few rows of tiles and under tucked new felt.
A roofer mate charges £55 per meter (excluding access if needed) it's the going rate around here!

Im not too far away in Berkshire and I paid £50 a metre for soffits and guttering. Really good professional job but it was about 18 months ago. Job
still looks great but I had easy access (single story flat roof) and only needed about 10 metres. He may be more expensive now but he wasn't the
cheapest I found but had good feedback and was very local to me.
