I did originally ask an agent and they would have ticketed this trip but at 250 GBP per change of which there were likely to be 2 or 3 - it did not seem worth it
It depends on the agent but some charge much less than others. With the agent I use, I save costs doing most of the hack work, researching availability for the travel I want, then advising them of those flights etc.. They then provide further input and once agreed, book it.
In arranging my most recent one, their fee was ~£125. During the process I was advised that by using JL*JL on the last segment, rather than the codeshare xx*JL I had requested, fuel fines for the entire itinerary would decrease by £250-£300.
