Fair cost for installation of storage heater

Hi all,
I need to get a storage heater replaced in my flat.
The electrician I'm using has quoted me 480.
I looked up the heater and I've found it available for 250-280 online. It's a Newlec NL10579.
He's told me that the heater part of the cost is 400 quid, then there's 80 installation on top so I'm guessing there's some marking up going on here. I think the installation cost seems ok but is a markup like that usual? I don't mind paying if I have to but did want to check.
I need to use this guy for reasons that I can't go into here but I just wanted to find out whether this would be considered fair, ideally from another electrician.
