Cost of gelding a shetland

I have been quoted £250 all in (drugs, call out, castration) provided there are no complications.
Cheaper for the bigger ones as they can be gelded standing. Shets are too small to geld standing (or so my vet says) and require "knocking out"for the deed.
 
Down here its £130, vet comes out, does what hes gotta do or the other vets charge £230 plus the stable fees.
 
If its a standard shetland they can be done standing. If mini then probably not. I paid £250 for a standing castration last year.
