I'm presuming that as he was told that by the garage they would have checked the seals/pressure, but the obvious question is why they didn't re-gas it there and then, presumably most garages can do R-134A.
He tells me it was working OK before and I trust him on that but that doesn't mean it just needs a re-gas of course...

Correct. A/C systems can be a complete money pit if someone who doesn't know what they're doing has had a crack at fixing it. So many compressors have died on my previous cars due to past cack-handedness.
@Fox get a reputable Honda place to look at if you can. At minimum and hour of labour will be ~£90-£120 and gas could be another £50 (R-134a). If the seals are gone in the system those numbers only go up.
