Carpet quote - 2 bedrooms

Hi all
I've had a quote for carpeting of two bedrooms, one sized 3.61m x 3.33m, one sized 3.63m x 3.12m for £880 all in.
This includes sourcing/fitting the carpets (I can find these online for around £15psqm), 10mm underlay, grippers & door bars. The previous laminate has already been ripped up.
From a look online this looks to be a little on the expensive side.
It's worth noting this is a local indie shop that comes highly recommended and we're in London. We've had a late change of plans to get the carpets fitted so I'm more reluctant to spend time getting several quotes like I normally would, and it needs to be done to a short timeframe.
Appreciate any thoughts!

I just had a quote for 2 smaller but similar sized rooms. 3.5 x 2.9 and 3.7 x 2.7. In addition the landing and stairs.
10mm underlay for rooms and 8mm elsewhere and inclusive of any grippers/door bars.
£1230 for supply and fit.1 -
I've had a quote for two bedrooms, roughly the same size, about £900, including removing the existing carpet and laminate, underlay, carpet bars, shaving the doors (right now one door catches on the carpet). It seems reasonablish, but then again, you've already taken the carpets/laminate up yourself.I guess the question to ask is, is it worth hunting around for the sake of seventy-five quid or so, knowing the place you've got is reputable? I'd suggest not.1
