As part of your quote be good to make them aware that this would possibly be 'renovation' pruning that will need follow up work over the next two years , August - Sept ( more usual pruning).
Always good to make them aware that fruiting may be poor next year.
To be honest, without photos, knowing how fast/efficiently you work, about rubbish disposal, how much do you expect for an hours work, it really is impossible to give you an idea of price.
I only access LSJ from a computer, but when you click reply the top bar above the text where you type next to link there is a direct upload button, navigate to the image file on your comptuer and that should work for you.
Second icon along in my attached image.
you need to work out what is worth your time for the work you will do - in conjunction for what that work will earn you in the future
if its a new job and a personal area - maybe you are best offering a fair price you are happy with that leads to more work via recommendation
theres a big jump from 120 - 200/300
dont be someone that jumps for the highest return at expense of future jobs in year one.
I'm sure others will disagree but £120 for a day..... no waste to get rid of............ isn't really "way to low" in my opinion considering your lack of experience and as you say you're "not the quickest". As Dan says, do a good job at a fair price and you'll get more work through recommendations. I'm sure with experience you'd be able to do the job in a morning for the £120 and then do another one in the afternoon.... you'll be rolling in money then!!
if its got that high it has not been looked after for at least 20 years as espalier are supposed to be within reach from the ground or steps at most this link might help https://www.rhs.org.uk/Advice/profile?PID=319 about 15 years ago I did a plum that was similar to what you are describing and it was half rotten and dead branches on it really cut it back put new wires on trained it in and it took about 5 years to get to good fruiting (some years are better than others)
