Not a bad price considering a hole has to be made in the wall, hearth has to bedded in mortar, gas line has to be run concealed to appear inside the builders opening (do ensure the gas line is not bare copper) and gas line has to be provided.
If you are in the middle of the city with no parking then it seems very reasonable.
If you are easily accessible in the country with your own parking then it sounds a bit high.
Why not do the normal three quotes? You should try to get telephone estimates so as not to waste peoples time when you dont intend to give them the job!

telephone quotes are ridiculous, any tradesman needs to see the job and quote it only then

If I went to visit free of charge every job I get telephoned about then I would not get any paid work done.
I give a best estimate on the phone based on the information given.
Can you explain how you can "give a free quotation" for repairing a boiler when most of the work is diagnosing the fault and most of the time is travelling for an hour to get there and another hour to get back?
You would spend three hours and the client then just says "No thats too expensive" and then gets and fits the new part himself.
