Unfortunately I won't be able to get time off work to go into a bike shop to ask about the possibility so was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to advise as to whether something like this would be possible and roughly what a shop might charge to do this.

Also would this affect the brakes etc - would i need to get these replaces?

Many thanks in advance
Try mustache bars. Super comfy and more hand positions than a flat bar. Nitto makes nice lightweight alloy ones but they are narrow. I use them for women's bikes, I like the cheapo steel Nashbar mustache bar myself.
