Friend of mine has a market stall. Market rules now require all

It's a long time since I looked at this, but the figure I
have at the back of my mind was £6/item,


So £20 / item would be excessive ?


Yes, if the tester is on site anyway and doing multiple items. When my
father moved into a residential home all his electrical items had to
be tested. I was pleasantly surprised at how cheap it was, something
like £3.50 per item plus VAT. There was no extra charge "call-out"
charge either.

Ring round a few electricians and get some quotes.
