New bannisters

Hi
We contacted a local tradesman who gave us a quote for a new set of bannisters and repairing a creaky staircase
"To supply and fit white primed newel posts, spindles , hand and base rail to landing. Handrail on existing brackets on stair primed white.
Carry out repairs to eliminate creaks and looseness in existing stair. Its possible I can do it all in a longish day. Total cost £560."
He has plenty of online reviews with pictures on my builder with excellent reviews. He seemed trustworthy and answered questions knowledgeably regarding materials, painting and with regard to building regs
I feel it is a fair quote and I'm quite happy with accepting it but thought I'd check on here to see if it is reasonable enough.
