I think it is very unfair to charge for letting you know that the work cannot be done. Please do not tell me that the technician spent 5 minutes on it and someone has to pay for it.
I have met (unfortunately) some people who prey on others by charging them for every second of their lack of professionalism. They charge by the hour and they couldn't care less if it takes them 1h or 5h to work it out. I think you should pay per job. If someone is incompetent enough to spend 4h on a 20min job - IT SHOULD BE THEIR PROBLEM, not a huge bill for the client!
