Quote for feather edge fencing and new shed base

I've received the following quote and was wondering if it is a bit on the high side (especially labour). The job is
* to remove ca. 8.5 metres of fence (1.7m high), and replace with feather edge fencing (including new posts).
* to remove and replace one standard fence panel (shiplap) (including one new post)
* to remove old 6 x 8 shed
* to build a concrete base for a shed/greenhouse (2.2m x 2.6m) including hardcore, geotextile membrane and 100mm of concrete.
* to remove all rubbish.
The quote is for £1,490 (company is not VAT registered). Does that sound fair?

5 days work , two men , £150 a day each ?
I would say a good deal , especially if they are disposing for you as wellNever, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.0 -
Thanks. That's interesting. They estimate they'll need 3.5 days with two men. The labour quote is £780. Materials are £590 and disposal £120.
So you think the quote is quite reasonable?0 -
sorry , was that including materials? , i think its an excellent quote if so..Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.0
