4 x concrete posts (8') = approx £80.
3 x gravel boards (6' x 12") = approx £40
3 x fence panels (6' x 5') = approx 60
Total material cost = approx £180.
.... a bit extra for concrete, etc .......
.... even though they're taking the old fence down and taking t away, £200+ labour seems a bit excessive to be honest.

I think that's about reasonable maggie, if they are digging out the old and setting in new concrete posts, putting in gravel boards and the fencing. It cost us about that much. The fencing and boards I chose wasn't the cheapest, I had three fence panels plus gravel boards and concrete posts also two smaller fence panels erected on top of a dividing wall two men to take out the old fence and take it away £400.
I got the prices from a firm that's local to me, that I know is not cheap .... deliberately getting a slightly higher price.
You still haven't said if the posts that need to come out are concrete or wood. Even if they're concrete, I reckon 1 man should do this in a day ... and I stand by my original post of thinking that you could get this done cheaper.
If you're getting a specialist to do this, then that might explain the excessive prices.
As ratter suggests, a good handyman should be able to do just as good a job .... and charge quite a bit less.

As suggested, def stay with the concrete posts.
To remove the old fence really shouldn't take too long - digging up 2 wooden posts and removing all the old fence panels and whatever rubble there is.
To be honest, I was thinking around £300 - £350 ish .....
Don't go to a fencing firm .... try and source a good handyman :)
