How much would I expect to pay to have my saddle flocked by a master saddler?

As title really, getting my saddle looked at tomorrow and would like some idea of how much money to take, or do most master saddlers give you an invoice if I paid call out then and there? Never experienced this before thank you.

I have only ever taken my saddle to a saddler to have it reflocked. Costs me £50 a time.

I paid £75 to have a Master Saddler come out to me recently, this included her call out fee. She did take the saddle away to re-flock it but she was back 3 days later and checked the fit. I paid her by cheque then. She also returned a month later to re-check it was still fitting, that visit was also included in the original amount.

My friend just paid £30 to get mine reflocked so she can use it on her horse, he came out and did it there and then apparently

I've had it done a few times and it was £50.

Oh right okay thank you, I don't actually own a cheque book so do most saddlers give invoices now?

The master saddler I use charges £35 and will stay and watch me ride in it and is very careful to make sure its fitting right before she goes.

Between £50 and £95 including the call out depending on what's done and I have always recieved an invoice .
