[QUOTE="chris, post: 809875, member: 1"] We are looking to have our old wooden fascias replaced with UPVc soffits and fascias. Anyone know what the average cost should be for a detached house ? We have had a quote off a local double glazing company and they have quoted us £3600 which seems very high to me :eek: after all its only a plastic trim that is placed over the wood. We also had a quote to have the current fascias painted which was £500 so at that rate if I needed to have the outside painted every 5 years it would be 30 years before I reach the same cost as the replacement by which time the UPVc soffits and fascias would probably have dis-coloured anyway and need replacing again. Your feedback appreciated. [/QUOTE]
