Gate widening quote

Cridon

Hello, just had a quote to widen our front gate opening:
1) Remove 2 concrete gate posts each approx 4 foot high and gates.
2) Remove approx 2 feet off 18inch high double brick wall to create wider opening.
3) Restore ground area where wall removed to match block paved driveway.
4) Reinstall two metal gateposts to support new steel gates.

Told it is a day’s work, quote is £1180 including vat in northwest area, is this a good price?

No, get some more quotes.

Does the price include the new steel gates and posts? Block paving, sub base, waste removal of the old brick wall sections and concrete posts? A day for a building team labour could easily be £500. No idea what a metal gate costs, and posts say £400? Waste removal £80 equivalent? Sundries, fixtures, profit... it does sound fair to be honest if my numbers are vaguely ballpark.
