no idea on the amount quoted but just wanted to say we think we've got some issues with outside drains having cracked (there's some water ingress in the underbuilding beneath our living room).
it is covered by our buildings/home insurance though - this may be something for you to consider also if it's going to cost that much

That seems like it's about 3 times too much.
What are they having to dig through to get to the pipes?
Wall to be damp protected
Any idea how? If they're fixing the drains, and there's no breaks in the DPC, then there's no need for any further remedial work.
It is, however, an easy way for them to make a couple of grand from pointless chemical injections.
Acid de-scale
I don't know anything about these, but it does seem to fit in the same camp as chemical injection damp proofing.

That has a strong whiff of snake oil about it as @TW says

4 figures quote advice:
After CCTV footage: 2 pipes need to be extensively repaired. All outside house walls so no brickwork included.
We had a quote for 6500+vat, which looks a lot to me.
I struggle to connect the work needed and the money asked. Has anyone experienced similar works? Was the amount requested close to this?
