I am in West London and just been through the same problem with my amp.
I tried a number. Some wouldn't touch it as it was too heavy and one had never heard of the make.
I spoke to John Caswell who is retiring soon but well known on this site and World Audio Design and he recommended Deco Audio in Aylesbury where I have taken it.
I have just got off the phone from James there and he knows his stuff. Number is 01296 422224. They do valve and SS.

Have you actually used Londonsound?

Yes, Mike Solomans London Sound is one of the very few Authorised "Radford Audio" service agents.
He repaired and serviced my Radford SPA50 power amp when I damaged it with a faulty Stax SRD7 electrostatic coupling energizer transformer.
Not too cheap but very good service, He really knows his stuff.

If you can make it as far as Leatherhead @toprepairman is excellent.
I've used http://highviewvideo.co.uk/ mentioned above and was very satisfied. Also very reasonable. Works from home, in Mill Hill/Edgware area.
Audio Gold https://audiogold.co.uk, a big business in Crouch End, also do repairs and rebuilds on specific kit, in particular Quad.

Mike Solomons is shut due to Covid and if you have anything with him for repair he won't release it. You can ring and listen to his voice message. I did 2 weeks ago.

Another recommendation for Deco Audio . Repaired my Whest Phonostage for £500 less than quoted by Whest Audio , Now sounds like new.
Make of that what you will Whest Audio .

Beware. I know several people who have had bad experiences...
Deco used to use John Caswell.

John is finally retiring in March so is passing stuff on. I think he has earned it.
Used him about 10 years ago to get some valve amps serviced and had excellent experience.
