£800 is a lot of money for a head gasket. I did mine last year and the parts were £20 (head set and set of bolts), Plus antifreeze, oil and filter. Labour wise I spent about 8 hours which included valve lapping and head decoking. A garage should be able to do it in a lot less time as I'm well out of practise.
