FB tuning will more than likely be doing mine later this year. On the second cambelt change is it a good idea to change anything else? Pulleys, pumps etc

You can but if you mess up the timing then it will cost alot more for an engine rebuild

its 2 to 3 hours labour.

if its the first change people just do the belt. mine was second so I did tensioners and pulleys , one of the pulleys was grinding and showing signs off its age.

Yea probably mate but for the sake of 2 / 3 hours labour cost I'd rather just let a pro do it who's done many.
