Soffits fascias and guttering for 2 bed semi

Evening all!
I’m in dire need of new soffits fascias and gutters (it’s wooden, rotten in some places and is causing damp) - having real difficulties finding companies who will quote me, only had one and I’m torn.
Two independent companies didn’t turn up to the appointment at my house to quote. I’ve called three more and they have said they will get back to me but haven’t. Only one has, the nation wide company - quoted £3800 (£800 is scaffolding alone) - that’s the lot - all materials, VAT, labour, new felt for under the roof tiles, all new fascias guttering and soffits, two new down pipes, scaffolding, disposal of all old material.

I can’t work out if I’m being ripped off or not! It needs doing badly. I’ve got two weeks Grace period to confirm. I’m trying to get other quotes to compare and really struggling! Measurements is 15 meters x 2 and then the side (which I can’t remember but my house is quite wide)

Am I being conned? Or is this reasonable? Internet search of average costs is fairly mixed. If anyone has had it done in the last year or so and can compare their price I would be really grateful. Thank you!

I paid £1200 for mine but it was a new build, so nothing to remove and there was already scaffolding in place.
It's detached with 2 sides at 8 m each plus a porch area at 2 x 1.2 m lengths.

Not an exact match by any means but hopefully helps a bit.

I see so you just had to pay for it to be put on to your new house as it was being built? It’s so hard when you genuinely aren’t sure what the cost should be - and who to trust!
