Head gasket replacement cost and where to go?

I'm fairly certain that my head gasket has given up. No heat in the cabin, white smoke from exhaust, overheating and rough running.

What 'ball park' figure should I expect and where should I take it close by to Woking in Surrey?

I have an idea where to take it, but a alternative might be useful.

I don't think I have a suitable combination of time or ability to handle this one myself. Cheers.

I understand that the labour will be around £1000 plus VAT. The head will be sent away and cost depends on what is found.

I'm not expecting change from £2000 including VAT and the 'Surrey Tax'.

I have used the guy for a few years, and so far has been trustworthy.

tbh, there did not seem to be much choice of places to go.

I did speak to Lee at SRD but I did not receive the promised quote and it's probably not exactly his thing.

I didn't just want to take it to the nearest independent general repair garage and transporting it long distance adds to cost and difficulties if things don't go according to plan.

Parts will come from Toyota.
