Wheel question. Help Needed

Okay. I am new to the whole tubeless thing but it's something I have decided I'm going to do, however my current wheel cannot be converted so it works tubeless. I have a rear Hope Pro II hub on my current wheel and obviously I want to keep that along with the spokes.
Am I able to just to buy a new tubeless ready wheel then take my old wheel in to a bike shop and tell them to use the spokes and hub off my old wheel with the new wheel? If this is possible does anyone know how much a bike shop is likely to charge for for this and what wheel should I buy? I ride All Mountain and some DH.
Any help is appreciated
Cheers

i pretty sure you cant reuse spokes..
or it's advised to use new spokes when you rebuild a wheel.. if it was me i would use new spokes.. the hub will be fine though.. you can rebuild the new wheel using your existing hub...www.bearbackbiking.com

Last time I did that I used Evans. Bought new rim off crc and re used my hub. Cost was 29 quid with black db spokes. That was nearly 3 years ago and the wheel is still true after much abuse.0
