I paid about £2.3k for a similar job (including new beams and licenced asbestos disposal) last year via https://excel-asbestos.co.uk/
Couldn’t fault the guys who did it, had it done in a morning and all tidied up after -

Easily achievable out of the box?
Alfa 147 3.2 V6
You’ve also got the Mk4 Golf with the 2.3 V5, 2.8 or 3.2 sixes, or the Mk5 Golf R32 with the same 3.2 VR6. The Audi A3 also featured the 3.2, and later S/RS A3’s had a 2.5 5 cyl. The Mk2 Ford Focus and Volvo C30 had a 2.5 5 cyl, as did the Mazda 3.
Early BMW 125i/128i/130i/135i all had a 3.0 six, as did the (very pricey) 1M Coupe.
For a few more £££‘S BMW F20 generation 1 series M135i/M140i have a 3.0 straight 6 turbo with between 320 & 340hp. The B58 in the M140i is easily and cheaply tuneable to 420bhp, and far beyond (engine is the same as in the latest M340 and Supra) with a little more work.So a wealth of small car/big engine options from £1000-£25,000+

- Mk3 Fiesta 1.1 - friend drove into it and wrote it off. Managed an indicated 100mph downhill, despite only having 50bhp.
- Mk4 Fiesta 1.25 - brilliant little car, 75bhp but handled like a dream.
- Mk4 Escort XR3i Cabriolet - had full RS Turbo kit and interior, but was in all other respects a dog. Worth a couple of grand in parts but ended up selling it -whole- to a cab driver for £400 a couple of months after sticking a £500 Magnex s/s exhaust & manifold and 4 Goodyear Eagle F1's on it.
- Mk5 Fiesta Zetec-S - was only a year old when I got it, in that lovely Imperial Blue with chrome wheel centres and a mesh grille. Had 103bhp but was quick enough to keep most things at the time honest, especially as it had a very sorted chassis. If they'd have managed to put a more powerful engine in it it would be seen as a classic like the Clio 172/182 are now.
- Mk5 Golf GTI - had a big break whilst living in London so borrowed cars as I needed them. Got this just before leaving the city. Highly competent, pretty quick, but lacks a bit of excitement. Will replace it in a year or so, maybe with a Mk7/7.5 R, but maybe with something a bit more emotional.
- Mk3 Fiesta 1.1 - friend drove into it and wrote it off. Managed an indicated 100mph downhill, despite only having 50bhp.
