25f brick fence 6f high

I've just been quoted £5k for a brick fence 25ft long and 6ft high in North East Lincs is this the going rate? What should i expect?

    Sounds Very expensive. Should be about 1300 bricks (double up for a 9" wall), that cost about £400 per 1000, plus sand and cement. This should take a couple of days to put up.
    If they have to dig footings, they may have to hire a mini digger (£100), get a skip (£130) and fill with concrete plus another days labour.

    Isn't a brick fence a wall?
  • I live in N.E.Lincs and that sounds way high to me.Geo 555 more or less has it spot on.

    I think he said such a high price to fob me off. Thanks for the replies.
