I would be grateful for opinions on the following quote. Thanks!
Remove old fences from property. Supply and erect 6 6’ waney fence panels using 4“ timber posts, and approximately 6 4’ high waney fence panels also using 4” timber posts.
Gate 1
Supply and erect 2 7”x7” timber posts, and a pair of 5’ high close/board gates including all fittings
Gate 2
Supply and erect 1 6’ high close/board gate
Also all timber will be pressure treated.
Total is £1,600 plus VAT = £1,909

Very quickly adding that up i would charge about £1750 so that price sounds pretty good.
I would say the only options for reducing that price would be to see if you can supply the materials yourself or find a smaller company that isn't VAT registerd0
