    Hi Aldukes66,

    From my experience, the best way to determine whether a quote is reasonable or not is to get additional quotes (the three quote rule). The best quotes come from people who are referred to me (via good tradesman or builders) rather than getting tradesmen out of the newspaper.

    I hope this helps.

    Regards,

    Agree with the others – seems quite pricey.

    With the three quotes – just keep in mind that cheapest doesn't necessarily mean best.

    Cheers
