If you're handy with the spanners it's not hard to do (even easier if you steal tools from Ammo
)

Yeah, it's not hard. Just long-winded! Much easier if you have the right tool.

But in answer to your question
... It's about a half hour job (hour max for a first time as it can be fiddly), so find out what their hourly labour rate is.

^ Sorry yeah didn't answer your question at all
It took me over an hour to do mine as I didn't have the right tools. With a proper adjustment tool it should be between 30min - 1 hour

Also remember that the temperature that they are done are just as important as the actual measurement.

This might help a bit
From when I did my valve clearances, just a few pics, not a walkthrough:
