^^^Ah fair enough, it can be hard to warrant replacing a tool that is used yearly. I could recommend places to do it in London, the shop I work at being one, but I see your not in London. I would avoid car garages at all costs for bike related repairs. A car mechanic is not a bike mechanic just as a butcher is not a baker and a good mechanics skill, knowledge and passion is worth every penny. Saying that, I would expect it to be anywhere from £15- £25 labour but any more and I'd probably recommend replacing the forks unless they are particularly special.
