Thanks for this.
I think the lowest price is assuming the flashing and fascia boards can be retained but I'll need to dig in a bit and make sure the top end is 100% new everything.

Why can't tradesman give proper itemised quotes? It's a right ball ache.

No itemised quotes so they can charge extra.
And if you ask for itemised, they walk away.

I'm sure they'll also request to be paid cash to save you the VAT when they're not even VAT registered.

That's what's been happening with most of my tradesmen and they get pissy when I flag up that
1) they are not VAT registered
2) the banking details they've given me are personal and not business

Can I do anything about it? No

It’s a shit game, isn’t it?

I’m guessing they can play it as another job or some tasty medium term subbing is just around the corner.
