I've received a quote from an electrician to move a consumer unit (a
distance of less than a metre). He's quoted £335.00, including a
contingency of £100 to extend or re-route one or two cables. Does this
seem a reasonable sum? He suggests it will be about a day on-site; I
can't see that any materials will be required beyond half a dozen screws
and wall plugs, and a metre or so of cable. I'm not a cheapskate or
anything by the way!

Depends on many things. At worst, every single cable might need extending.
At best, they'd only need shortening. And any combination in between - has
he actually seen the job? It's much quicker to cut one down than extend it.
