Quote for new Victorian tiles front path - is this fair?

We have a Victorian tiled front path to our house in a simple red black and yellow pattern. It is around 3 feet wide by 12 feet long and badly needs replacing. We have had two quotes for this - £1600 and £2100. Quote includes removal of old tiles, laying concrete bed and new tiles but not the cost of the tiles themselves. We live in south west London so I assume it will be dearer here than some places. Has anyone else had a similar type and size of path relaid and if so how much did it cost?

    me again , just checked out some prices for 3 colour in 2 sizes and would say that your quote for £2100 would not be to far off if it included labour & materials, seems like a good price.

    i know this is an old thread, but I got a quote for mine and labour only £460.

    its very cheeky for them to charge you to "take away" the old tiles. they will probably clean them and reuse them as I did!
