Yes and they never even fixed the problem. I had to get another contractor to fix the leak at additional expense. Now Im being take to court for full amount. I have offered him 2/3'ds of the bill but he has dug his heels in and now Im summoned to Court.
There's a whole range of similar "legal" issues on these forums - research and see what others were advised to do.
FWIW: start the recording and preserving of all evidential material from right now, have no further contact at all with the other side or their representatives, and get a free heads up with a solicitor.

Did they give you a quote prior to starting the job?
The cost is far from reasonable, I would've expected around £800 to be reasonable if the work was straightforward strip and replace + around £3-400 for scaffold.

Well, if you read again you will see that I wrote "if it were straightforward" and "expect". It was a guesstimate based on average costs and 34 years as a roofer.
89 tiles, 150 hours labour for 2 " roofers" and one labourer without scaffold @ £3200 is obviously a rip off unless the op left out it was a church steeple.
£3.50
Now I understand why you posted the above.
What, it takes you longer than 2 minutes to remove a slate?
