I've just had a crank / big end grind and TS bush hone at Classic and Modern Engines in Bracknell.  Also had oversize guides pressed in and honed and valve seats cleaned up.  About £250 for the bottom end and £180 for the head.

There is Hamlins Engineering in Bridgewater. I have not used them myself yet but have heard that they do a good job. Hopefully somebody else on here has used them and can say.
