Measure it all properly and take your list to your local stockist. Once you know the price for all the materials, work out how much you both want to earn each day, add £100 for mistakes and extras and your'e almost there 
The roof felt will be most likely rotten at the eaves and may not drape into the gutter. If so, some felt and board or plastic eaves tray will be required.
In any case, don't mess about up and down a ladder for 5 days. Get it scaffolded and do it safely and properly in a day and a half

Yep, ladders are for tights. At the very least hire a tower.
