    In comparision to the firms I have work at this seems very reasonable. Particularly the HIP, the average I have come across seems to be £300 PLUS VAT.

    Costs are a tiny bit higher than a local one I got a quote from recently.

    Did you get several quotes? How were they when you got the quote? Are they easy to get hold of?
