Fascias Soffits and Guttering

[DanieLouize]

We have just had a quote of £3600 for new guttering and downpipes and that spiky hedgehog-like stuff to stop the debris etc settling in the guttering!
Ours is a detached 1930 house with three different roof types (scaffolding to accommodate this is approx 1/3 of the quote!).
It's a lot more than we anticipated since it doesn't include fascias.. we have the iron guttering (x2 cracks at joints noted) and wooden fascias (no rot) and have now decided to repair and prep/paint the original... I don't envy my poor husband the job! 👍😂😱

Your quote seems very reasonable!

It is not a bad price, I worked for 6 years in a roofing company so got to know quite a lot about fascia's etc. If you don't need them doing right now wait as they will come back to you in a couple of months with a better price.

Our quote was around £5k two years ago. Big house, but more expensive than I’d anticipated.

We have clear Perspex things in the apex where the swifts used to try and nest every year. We also have spiky things to keep the debris. We had our old rotten fascias completely removed and replaced with plastic/upvc - all of the boards under, including the porch, the end bits and all new guttering. It looks really good - 😀
