If you are over 70 or on certain benefits it is free, otherwise expect to pay between £150 and £200 which is generally cheaper than buying the materials and doing it yourself. Another advantage is the grant also covers labour so you do not have to buy your own safety equipment or take the rise of falling through your ceiling. Grants are available for this type of work.

The current Building Regulations for Conservation of Fuel and Power (Part L1A specifically for existing dwellings) does state 150mm to reach the correct thermal performance, but with almost every product on the market you will actually need a minimum of 170mm to reach the required U values.
