Patio Quote

Options
Hi all,

Hoping for some advice on whether a quote I have received for a new patio seems fair/good value. This is the first time I've had to get anything like this done so I am completely clueless on average prices for labour/materials.

Tasks involve:
- Dig out an area to accommodate a 9m by 4m patio (currently consisting of old patio/concrete/grass/ soil borders on a slightly sloped surface)
- The waste to be put in a skip (skip hire)
-A small retainer made from sleepers inserted at the top of the patio to retain soil from rest of garden
- Some of the existing concrete to be broken up to reduce level outside the back doors
- A step inserted into the sleepers to allow access to the top of the garden
- Kick boards along the bottom of the fence to cover any gaps
- Indian sandstone slabs (2 packs)

I've been told the work will take 5-6 days with two people on site.
Labour £1300
Materials £1450

Total - £2750

The company is local and reputable with positive reviews on trader comparison sites and a gallery of work available online.

Thoughts welcome..
