I think personally thats a lot (IMO). I live just north of London in Herts (10 miles north of the M25) and had my 10 way Consumer Unit changed in a day. Was a family friend whos an electrician but for approx £80 for the unit, I wouldnt of thought £600 for labour, unless of course theres a lot involved like moving its location, replacing or extending cables etc

I can assure you that the materials cost would be substantially greater than £80.

I would consider that, outside of London, approximately about £400-450 would be a fairly standard price for this. Greater numbers of circuits; remedial works e.g. main protective bonding conductors to be installed; all RCBOs to be used instead of RCCBs and circuit breakers etc. would all increase the price (some of these things substantially).

On the face of it I wouldn't consider £695 in the London area to be by any means outrageous, but of course none of us are actually familiar with the installation in question.
