I am moving house and want to take the Aga cooker with us. I have been quoted £900 to disconnect it?

and reconnect it in the new house. This seems very expensive to me. Do you know any companies or aga technicians who supply this service at a more reasonable rate.
It is a four door gas oven with balanced flue and does not heat water. The move is five minutes up the road.

If you are moving from gb to usa it might cost that.
You really only need someone to disconnect it where you are and someone else to connect at your new location if they are miles apart. £30 + £30. Its very easy.

IT does seem a lot, but it depends on so many variables:-
Is the Aga connected to a water and/or oil supply? You could need a plumber, an oil company fitter, perhaps even an electrician.
Is it built-in? Maybe a builder.
does the quote include transport? They are very heavy!
If it is to include transport, and is already disconnected, I cannot see it being less than £150.00, and that assumes some free muscle being available at both ends.

Disconnect & reconnect slightly dear , contact Aga agent in your area . Depends on how much work involved & distance travelled , against price of a new one .? your not talking in hundreds . Certainly not one man job as well
