What sort of prices are you getting?
Just as a guide when I replaced mine myself a couple of years ago the hood was £150 and the tension cables £25, replacement foam seals £5 from a house window supplier on ebay, high heat glue £10. You need a staple gun and staples aswell.

I think I was quoted £300 for some to do it when I looked into it.
