What needs done? Are you supplying the rads? For context in South London (I've had two radiator jobs done recently);
Fitting a towel rad. I supplied everything and removed the old rad. Plumber needed to shorten one of the pipes and bend both out slightly as the towel rad sits further out than the old panel one. Bit of cutting soldering, draining down the heating system, hanging the new rad on the wall, fitting all valves, refilling heating system and testing - £145
Swapping 3 TRVs, again, all supplied by me. Two were not connected to rads and one was. Draining system again, draining the single radiator, swapping valves, re-filling and testing - £160
So it probably depends on the amount of work needed, how much actual plumbing work is there (as opposed to just screwing on valves), how much the guy can be arsed to do it etc.

Is it me or is £750+ VAT expensive to fit three small radiators?
For just labour? Assuming he can get it done in a day that's basically top-tier IT consultancy fees.

Sounds like that price is because you need it doing before next Thursday, its a bank holiday weekend and they have more than enough work at the moment.

Fuck me, that’s pricey 😂 I should move back to London if that’s the prices they are charging now.
We were nowhere near that and changed 5 radiators today for someone in glagsow

None of my three trusted/usual cabal of Enfield-based plumbers can do it before our floor sanders arrive next Thursday and this is the first guy I've found who can fit them in time.
If this is the going rate I might DIY instead...
