You can solve that problem honestly or not so honestly. I've worked in places where everyone knew to pad their time without telling the non-dev in the room. I've been happier with also estimating the ratio of time you spend doing tasks. Someone more senior should intend to spend less than 100% of their time on those tasks.
Both of those work better than ignoring overhead or refusal to estimate, imho.
