New flat roof in felt?

Options
Hi,
Been given the following quote which seems rather high to me. Can anyone advise? We had another flat roof of similar size done in Firestone EPDM a couple of years back for a little bit more (incl. reboarding). I quite like the look of the EPDM and have always heard negative things about felt.

Job specification

 Carefully remove bottom two rows of slates and save for re use
 Cut out chase to parapet walls and chimney for new lead
 Remove old gutter
 Supply and fix new black ash PVC fascia
 Carefully remove old felt roof covering
 Supply and prime up stands with bitumen primer
 Supply and lay one layer of HT250 high performance felt
 Supply and lay 100mm multipurpose flat roof insulation boards bedded in hot bitumen
 Supply and lay one layer of 3h vent felt
 Supply and lay two layers of 250 high performance felt bedded in hot bitumen (rolled and poured)
 Supply and fix new drip batten
 Supply and fix new black sq. line gutter
 Supply and fix new high performance mineral drips and up stands
 Refit slates to roof
 Supply and fix new code 4 lead cover flashings to chase of parapet walls and chimney
 Supply and paint two coats of white solar flex paint
 Clear all waste
 For the sum of £4578.00 fully inclusive of VAT.
 Including Ten year Insurance backed guarantee through the confederation of roofers.


Roof size is around 20m2 I believe.
Thanks,
Simon
