How long would it usually take to fit a near side front wheel bearing and front wheel ball joint ?
And how much would the two parts cost ?

For the front lower balljoint, it is far easier and quicker to change the complete suspension arm, which comes with a new balljoint pre-installed. No more than an hour's work, assuming nothing is seized or stuck, and probably £25-£30 for a good quality aftermarket arm.
Wheel bearing - maybe £20 for the part and a couple of hours work if you don't have a press. They are a very tight fit!
In a garage with the right tools and experience, I would say a couple of hours labour to do both (much of the work overlaps), and say £60 in parts. £160 or so all in at an indie.
