Do you not want to try it your self?
Carbs are quite easy and you can get away without any special tools. Jets and repair kits are readily available.

+1. Mikey if you are thinking of doing them yourself I seem to remember Ralph (VDUK) can supply some good quality parts and he is quite local to you so might be worth giving him a call?
