Dog Walking (How Long Can They Be Left?!)

Hi, my partner and I have 2 Labradors and we both work weekdays Monday to Friday apart from Wednesday which is my day off. We are both out the house between 9 and 10 hours in total. We have a dog Walker who comes and takes them both out for an hour around midday. This is costing us nearly £300 per month and isn’t financially feasible anymore.
If we walk then for a good hour in the morning and as soon as we get home, would a 10 hour gap be comfortable for them? Or is it too long to leave them alone in the house?
Any advice would be appreciated. Many thanks!!

Redhelen, I have an 11-month-old GS that runs me ragged. Thank god we've got fields I can just throw a ball and let her run and run. Yesterday I was sat in a field shelter for half an hour while it tossed it down, gale force winds, throwing the ball for her. She was soaked through but slept in her (open) cage for three hours after that lol!

The longest we leave our dog is 3 hours & I always feel bad about that 'cos I know she just lies in the hall staring at the door, which is what she does when Mrs K. goes out by herself
