Depends on how you plan to do it. Digging out and laying your type 1 base will be the worst of it but attention needs to be paid here otherwise the patio will end up with all kinds of shit slopes on it. Also don't forget to hire a whacker plate.

How much would you expect it to cost for someone else to come and do it for me?
£1-4k depending on location and quality. To have a raised patio plus for fence work my folks were quoted 6 days labour.
If you do want to DIY it's also worth thinking about getting a labourer to help for some of it. London wage is c.£90-120 p/d. I'm forever recommending this to people* I know who are doing major DIY renovation. You can get x3-4 done with two people.
*mainly wives of husbands wanting to do it all themselves.

Maybe order the beers in, light the bbq and get some friends round. A lot of that type of work is tough but a great workout and is basically just labour.

Have you considered SDS, Sustainable Drainage Systems?
This gives you some ideas, and
the legislation covering domestic areas greater than 5sqm.
