I think we paid around £2.5k in london to remove a 4m wall and insert a cranked beam to accommodate the upstairs flat's stairs, the beam was then another £1k delivered. It was cheaper than other quotes at the time. It was also part of some other works so economies of scale - however they were shit, didn't read the drawings properly so fucked up the pad stones and their "making good for decoration" was quite misaligned to my expectations.
Wish we'd paid more and got a competent builder.

Thanks @Soul and @Cupcakes - appreciate the response. I think we were maybe skewed by an off the cuff comment from a tradesmen and our architect that both said ~£4k. But, we're in the process of getting more quotes so can compare there for sanity checking too.
It doesn't include new flooring - I'm going to do all that myself. We've already paid engineers fees as he's done a bunch of other stuff for us for an extension. It does include building warrant though.
Maybe its not so bad then...we'll see what others come in at. Cheers!
