Lee,
We often get large survey requests, in our case usually associated with
forestry, which covers 28% of our region; and also have some farms entering
the Rural Stewardship Scheme with a significant number of sites in their
holdings. As a general rule we charge £40 (ex VAT) for the first hour, and
£30 for any subsequent hours - usually rounded to the nearest half-hour.
