Think you just questioned and answered yourself :lol
Well thanks for the reassurance. ...that I was better to get it done "professionally"
. Thinking aloud I suppose. 
I've never been to a mechanic to change a bike tyre before - how many notes do they normally take for the privilege (£££) ?

Depends where you live I would imagine, but mine normally charges me £10 or £15, with the wheel off the bike.
Because I buy my tyres online, it still works out way cheaper than riding a bike into a tyre/bike shop and buying off the shelf then getting them fitted.
Last time I did that a few years ago I paid something like £164 for a rear T30 to be fitted in the tyre shop.
I recently bought a PR4 online for £120 and had it fitted for about £15.
Just a peace of mind thing for me as well, for that sort of money i just prefer to let someone do it with the proper tools for the job.
