Is this a fair quote for fitting a 5 bar gate?

Options
I've been quoted £325 to hang a field gate (already purchased) across my drive using existing posts and fittings and dispose of the old gate. This sounds a bit pricey to me, but I've never had a gate fitted before. Does anyone know if this is a fair price?

    Depends on size of the gate, if 2 men are required, plus cost of disposal. Cheaper to ask them to chop it up and take it to the tip yourself

    Silly price.
    Should take one man about an hour.
    That would probably include fag / coffee / mobile phone breaks.
