So, head R&R, head service/check, new valves, aux belts, timing kit, water pump, PAS flush, brake fluid flush and bleed (why not; you're in there). If you had a belt failure it may also be that you need rocker arms.

That's a question perhaps better answered by Lighty. I've never done an HDi head - Diesels aren't that common here yet. I'd be surprised if a competent workshop couldn't have the head sat in the parts washer within ninety minutes. Cleaning and reassembly - not including consumables or sublet works, at a complete guess two to three times the dismantling hours until it's ready to drive away.
