If he knows what he is doing I reckon thats a very good price - especially if you have stud problems !

price is fine, but make sure it includes any problems he encounters.

i,.e if worse case happens and it takes him all day, will he still want £50?

I wouldn't mind meeting up but like Nelix says, the difficulty is getting the facilities to do it properly, ie somewhere warm and dry with a compressed air line etc
