    Why have you posted this twice?
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

    It's more than I would charge, but doesn't sound ridiculous. May I ask as to why you are having them fitted?

    In fairness, you've no idea of the nature of the job, what the wall construction is, where the feeds have to come from, what other switching/isolation is reqd... Also, 6" / 60 l/s extractors aren't cheap either (well, ones worth the having aren't, anyway).
