If you cancel a .co.uk, how long till it is released ?

You have to cancel it via Nominet online services.

Delete and cancel are two different things.

Just for future reference,

Delete is used by registrars to cancel domains registered in error (or tasted!) and can only be used before the invoice containing that domain has been paid:

Cancel is for registrants and can only be used after their registrar has paid the invoice containing the domain:

Amazing just how two-tier our UK registration/management system is, I'm not complaining as its almost fail-safe - as long as the novice remembers the big difference between the registrar, register and the registry. (or something like that)
