Thought it was closed to £80-90 for a gasket set? I guess you could be talking about just the head gasket rather than the parts need to do the job.
Head skim £20-40.
Have you done a compression test?
its at times like this that you wish you checked it out before handing your cash over
i guess its a 1.2 since they are the most likely to suffer head gasket failure? you can get a full head gasket kit with all the bits you need to do the job properly. ask at your motorfactor, it wont cost the eath.
i also think a head skim is a good idea, you dont know the history of the car but you do know that there is a good possibility that it has overheated in the recent past, and that easily warps the head enough to warrant a skim unless you want to have a leaking head gasket when you fit the new one.

A 1.2 Hgt???????????
Jug you not had your coffee!
Its unusual for a HG failure on an HGT, but then less of them so you dont hear etc, its also hard to spot leaks etc as you can barely see the engine. I guess you'd checked the usual oil, water, turnover no bubbling water?
