Dual in the sum

I have a 2007 Vauxhall Astra SRi, 1.9 diesel with 88,000 miles. Please could you tell me a reasonable price for a replacement dual mass flywheel and clutch? I've been told it is 7 hours labour for the work. Is this reasonable? Could you recommend any specialists in the Reading/Berkshire area?

It's possible that Mr Clutch might be able to do the job for around £800. A Vauxhall dealer is likely to charge £1,200 upwards.
