installation of wood stove?

Have finally decided to install a wood stove to combat rising gas prices. Currently have an open fire, so chimney is there (1960s bungalow). Was quoted today installation cost of aprox. £1500. Has anyone recently had one fitted and is this a vaild price? Having more quotes, but always good to know what others have paid!
Thanks

  • quote was for chimney lining and stove installation. Not including price of stove. Hearth would already be sorted so that's not included either.
  • we were quoted £3000 so did it in bits myself. having said that the guy that quoted did not know what was behind the gas fire.

    If your not happy get another quote.
