Default How's this quote for a dormer re-roof?

Hi all
The roof of a dormer window is completely shot and leaking badly so needs
redoing. I got a local roofing company in to quote for redoing using
fibreglass (I've used them before and I rate them). Bit surprised at the
figure though - 1200 GBP all in. That includes scaffolding which I'm told
is necessary. Also; they wanted to do the job with a forward-tilting roof
and guttering installed; but because this is a period property I want it
doing as is, ie matching the other (original) dormers; that is, built with
no gutters and the roof tilting rearwards towards the tiles.

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a breakdown of costs by
scaffolding/materials/labour; but before I do, what does the panel reckon
to the 1200 GBP figure?

Thanks
David


The forwardslope will only be slight, better and normal these days.
Probably a gutter will be needed
£1200 seems reasonable to me.
Watch out for the fine print.
It may need more work when the existing roofing is removed, in fact, almost certain to. Rot etc.
What about the internal "ceiling" to the dormer, any traces of damp/rot?
