for a decent engine box, loom ecu etc,,, you are looking at £400ish

then £100 for new timing belt and clutch. and probably £100 on other bits and bobs.

so £600+ fitting is about ok. Expect £600-£800 all in.

would make sense to replace bits when it out though, as some jobs need the engine out. Some which are more difficult may as well be done now, and as corsa808 says, why not do the timing belt?
Unless you know it was changed recently, it makes sense to do it, because it could be damaged, in a poor condition etc.
