Got some hope hubs I want building into a summer road wheel set. Just curious how much building fees should be?

I guess cost of rims + spokes + labour

Any ideas how much? Or can anyone recommend a midlands based builder?

My local quoted me £70 to replace my rim and hub with DT double butted black spokes, that price is for the spokes and labour (stripping old wheel and rebuilding.)

Two Wheels in Stourbridge have a great wheel builder called Baz, normally £20 labour but if you buy spokes + rim, they do a bit of a deal.

Whereabouts in the Midlands? I'm Loughborough based and would do it for £25 a wheel plus spokes and rim costs.
