A lump sum payment will let him set his own pace for the job without you
having to worry about the cost going up if he finds it a bit hard going.
Get a couple of quotes from people who do this as a business, then pay him
about half that as he won't have the overheads that a business would. If
you knock £20 off the price then give it to him at the end as a bonus he
will think you are a great employer.

That sounds good - but potentially expensive...

The principle is right though. Not trying to pay as little as possible but
paying a fair rate for the work done.
