I went through at least three (broadly) London-based workshops where the owner/operator retired and sold up, never to be seen again
Ditto, except that I got to the last one soon enough after he sold up to see the sign directing me to the current shop who had bought his goodwill, and the boss there is younger than me so with a bit of luck the current arrangements will see me out 🙂

Thanks for all the information so far. Much appreciated. I went through at least three (broadly) London-based workshops where the owner/operator retired and sold up, never to be seen again. A real shame that this sort of resource is so hard to find...
In this instance, might just see if I can make some headway with a multitool and a metal cutting blade, some cutting oil, a vice and a few good files. If that really doesn't look like it'll work, I'll maybe take fizzy.bleach up on his offer..
