Ask for a breakdown?
I assume that sourcing and preparing old boards to match the rest of your floor is going to make up a good chunk of that.

ours were £30 psqm in two different houses with two different companies - that included all of the repairing, rectification, stitching in donor boards etc. £85psqm seems crazy high to me

What @cozey paid isn't really comparable as he lives in that wild barren no mans land that exists outside the M25.
Thinks ours cost 1200 for downstairs hallway and stairs, the guy wasn't the best bless him but got it done.

I know this isn't DIY, but the subject was discussed in this thread six months or so back...
Got a guy in to quote for sanding and fixing up our floors - total 26 square metres. Floorboards are in good shape for 120 year old boards, but the quote includes replacing modern replacements with salvaged boards where two chimney breasts were taken out, maybe a dozen (max) new boards that need replacing elsewhere and replacing various damaged/split/badly cut ones.
He comes highly recommended by neighbours, has done loads of places on our street, filled us with confidence when he came round etc. He obviously really knows his stuff and local houses, and I don't doubt he'd do a great job. He's sent me pictures of his work which back that up too, but...
£2200 for 26m2. That's £85 per square metre! Is this not crazy high?
I know @cozey and @6pt both paid more like £35.
