I assume by "replace" the bill includes a new unit, not just overhauling the original, but it's probably a fair price.
Thinking about it, overhauling the head locally rather than fitting a new or factory-reconditioned unit would probably cost a lot more.
Even by just exchange, it involves a heck of a lot of work, increasingly complicated and time-consuming on modern vehicles; and all businesses have to charge a lot more per hour than just the materials and the employee's wages, even before they add on the profit margin.

There was an online survey from last year which showed the average cost of cylinder head replacement as 600 pounds (within a range between 400-1500).
Prices are up in most places, so 700 pounds is probably a fair amount (neither a bargain nor a ripoff).

I hope the rest of the car is in good enough condition to warrant the expense.

Very fair price. Depending on the car, it can be very labor intensive.

Good price cylinders cost a few thousand
