Personally I would think its a bit on the high side (the price, not the chimneys ) but then again its in Dublin so probably not that far off the mark although I would haggle a bit if I were you.

Thanks Muffler.
Yeah, that's what I thought too. I'm not based in Dublin either so hopefully somebody from the Dublin area could comment.

hi,
chimney x 2 price looks fair for Dublin. You might get a couple of dollars more off (not much) by shopping around. I'd estimate thats a fair price - taking there probably brick chimneys (?) - which involves at lot of messing around stepping and chasing flashing.
If you want an alternative price p/m and I can provide details of 2 roofing companies I use in city.
But in fairness your original quote is not far off the mark.
