Is this quote reasonable?

Hi


just had a quote from a private family firm to completely remove ivy from the wall on the back of the house. The house is a normal sized terrace house. The ivy is overgrown and covering most of the wall and goes up to the guttering. I have been quoted £450 which would also include complete removal of the rubbish. I was expecting around £300 so would be grateful for any input/advice from other forum users.

    Get another quote.

    Does it include VAT? That will account for £75. Also you will have a skip or aste charge in there as well.

    But you still need to get another qhote.
