Front wheel both sealed bearings replaced.
Rear wheel new cones and bearings and trued up. How much should this cost?

    Dunno but with a few simple tools you could do most of that yourself and save a packet.

    The only bit I'd be stuck on is the re-true.

    What hubs were they?

    Have you had the job done and thinking you've had your eyes ripped out by youre LBS or getting a taster before you get it done?

    Rough guess, maybe 1 hours worth of work. £30 labour, £12 parts
    Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Epsilon.

    After market, cartridge bearings from a bike shop may be a tenner EACH. Cones and bearings say a fiver. £8 per wheel for a true. £15-£20 fitting of bearings.

    So in the ball park.
