I got quoted £75 by The Bike Taylor in Brighton to cut and fit a set of carbon forks the other week ended up paying £15 at Rhythm and Bikes in Brighton then few days later they fitted bottom bracket and crank set for £10. Best to get a price first before you take the bike in.
This was in response to paying £50 to fit headset

£75 for fitting the fork may look like a lot but maybe they need to remove the crown race from old to new and chop and reroute a hydro brake hose, then a quick bleed to remove any air.
If it's only chopping it and bolting it £15 is fair.
50£ for the headset install it's mad, takes minutes.

basically only had to cut and fit forks as new frame so nothing to remove, having laugh trying to charge that but I guess there are people out there that will pay those sort of prices.
