Moving internal door

I have quoted the following
• Block-up doorway and open new doorway £1600 includes materials except door and frame if required

    It depends. Is the wall load bearing? If so you will need engineers calculations and building control approval. Is it a stud wall? Is it brick / block. If its a stud wall it's no more than a day and a half's work. Not much more for solid walls.

    Seems well over the top to be honest, especially as it doesn't include fitting a frame and door.

    That's a cheap price for a load bearing wall, does in include building control fees, a plan and the catnic?
