Moving internal door

I have quoted the following
• Block-up doorway and open new doorway £1600 includes materials except door and frame if required

Does this about right??

    It depends. Is the wall load bearing? If so you will need engineers calculations and building control approval. Is it a stud wall? Is it brick / block. If its a stud wall it's no more than a day and a half's work. Not much more for solid walls.

    Seems well over the top to be honest, especially as it doesn't include fitting a frame and door.

    That's a cheap price for a load bearing wall, does in include building control fees, a plan and the catnic?
