Kitchen quotation

Options
Can anyone tell me if this is a fair quote for kitchen fitting and associated work?

Its a large room, 9 metres by 2.5 metres and there are a lot of units to fit.

Some of it looks very high to me but I could be wrong (eg the flooring and the plastering and fitting a couple of internal doors).

I'm in London if that makes a difference.

    It all looks a bit top heavy. The plastering is very high as is the flooring.

    Where abouts in London are you?

    I'm in Hillingdon.

    I've used this builder before and trust him so did want to use him if possible but this quote has shocked me quite a bit. I was expecting the flooring to come in at nearly half that and I didn't think there was that much plastering to do but that looks like about three days work for that price unless I'm missing something?
