Most of the cost was the builders having to erect a swing stage to get to the various levels, plus, for the second time, rectifying concrete cancer where found - very little, fortunately. We went for powder-coated aluminium, as the previous painted steel had to be repainted several times over their 35-year life, and the rust emanating from their fixings was what caused the cancer! +++++++++++++++++
Loads of expense just erecting platforms/scaffolding to do such work. I replaced everything I could - guttering etc - when I had that done, to save paying for that twice.
