Yes, we have got the same quote. I think its £200 for the roof to 175mm too.
as for drilling the face bricks, we did a job where they had the renderer's in a week before the cavity guys, we had to send them inside and drill through the plaster boards 
They do drill the joints and make good after ,can be almost invisible after a bit of weathering
