Full livery help

Hiya
I keep meaning to ask my instructor if they provide full livery services at her yard (They do take livery).
I've not been on a yard with full livery in a good few years and even then i cant remember our pricing. What are you lot paying for full livery if you don't mind me being nosey?
I'm north west england if that makes any difference.
Asking for research purposes. I've said in previous posts i'd like my own again. Was also thinking about working livery, But again i have no memory of the pricing, and what do you expect from a working livery arrangement (The only yard i've been on with WL, i didn't pay attention, i know they got mucked out by staff and thats about all i noticed, and obviously used in the riding school some days).

Or even part livery if anyone has experience with that - That would be perfect for me as i do actually enjoy doing all the horsey chores, i just don't think i can manage them every single day and still have a house worth living in, ha!

Part Livery usually means you get everything done for you.
Full Livery = mucked out, turn out, rug changes, feed/hay/bedding provided, horse excercised and tack cleaned
Part Livery = above without excercise and tack clean
DIY = stable + field, usually you provide feed/hay/bedding and do all the work.
Then you get variations of Assisted DIY - you might have basic DIY & pay for extras like a muck out or a turn out when you need it.
Working Livery is when they use the horse for riding lessons for other clients - I expect how much they're used and how much you pay varies quite a lot.
I'm in South East
I pay £200pcm for Assisted DIY which is stable + field and YM does all turn outs and bring ins.
Basic DIY is about £100-£150 depending on facilities.
I was paying £450pcm for Part Livery at last yard.
I would expect Full Livery to be £550 plus
Hope that helps!

Snow - I know what you get for them haha :) I used to have to do the liveries at work. I just cant remember how much we charged. I always had mine on DIY.
Thank you though the part/full prices are helpful :)

Where we used to be, we were on part livery, which included all stable duties, bedding, feeding(ing), turnout/ bring-in. Basically, everything you need on a daily basis do you didn't have to go everyday. That was £424pcm.
Full-livery at same yard included the above, plus exercising, grooming and tack cleaning. That was £645pcm
Working livery was the same as part- livery, but included tack clean and groom when used. They deducted £16 each time horse was used, up to a maximum deduction (which I can't remember).
We're now on DIY which is literally field, water supply, she'd to keep stuff in and grazing space - £25/wk
