Gable wall repointing cost

[DaisyDoor123]

I have just moved into a 1980s 3 bed semi. Need to get the gable wall repointed. It's approx 60n2. No known damp issues, just the mortar looks like it could use some TLC. The walls have cavity wall insulation also.

I have been quoted £3200 to get it repointed, however I have also been told that it needs Storm Dry protection cream and have been quoted an additional £1400 to be applied. It seems quite expensive as Storm Dry cream itself is £400 so £1000 is labour.

Questions I have, is the quote reasonable? The company have great reviews. Is Storm Dry actually worth it? Seems to be a reasonably new product and not too much out there to if it's actually worth it or not. How long does it actually take to apply?

Any help, appreciated!

£250 a day labour per person plus materials would be the starting figure imo
I think it's pointless working for yourself if you are charging less than £300 a day however. I still hear some are stuck on £120 to £140.
Also do you know the quality of work? I've seen some amazing repointing and others that is terrible
