Bad news

Newton Ellis is closing towards the end of the year.

If anyone wants to buy it, it's for sale.

Ed T is semi-retired.

We need to start a list of repairers!

Oh flip. NE did work for Canon as well, so they handled big stuff.

Here's my contribution, but please note: These are not recommendations, as I have not used any of them for repair work. They are simply camera repair companies whose names I have encountered, over the years. Therefore: caveat emptor applies.

    Aperture UK (London)

    Soper Photographic (Plymouth)

    Camera Repair Workshop (Milton Keynes)

    cameraworks-uk (Manchester)

    Advanced Camera Services (Watton, Norfolk)

    PPP cameras (Birmingham)

    GRES (Epsom Downs, Surrey)

I can provide contact details and/or links, if it's acceptable on the forum.

It's a start. Thanks Peter. I can't see any problem with details but that's up to the mods.

I know cameraworks has a very good reputation, but mostly for Leica.

We're not a commercial endeavour so I don't see any issues with links/details. @mjb gets the final say though.

As a mod I see no reason for not posting links.

www.lutoncameras.co.uk/

www.sendeancameras.co.uk/
www.campkinscameras.com/camera-and-lens-repair/
All found via Google, so no experience. I used Ray Czerkas Camera Repair a couple of times, but he was the sort of person who didnt have much online presence then, last used him circa 2015, so he may have retired.

ETA hopefully the right link for Campkins, surprisingly hard to drive a phone when you are lying in bed feeling shite.

That is so, sad   , but, thanks to Peter for starting a list of alternative  service shops  .

Cheers,
Jack

It sounds as though the guys at Newton Ellis are planning on carrying on independently:

Post in thread 'Show off your TLR!' rangefinderforum.com/threads/show-off-your-tlr.43146/post-4895203

Confirmation that it is N E they are referring to comes in the next two posts.

I can vouch for Advanced Camera Services (Watton, Norfolk), they've done repair work for me. Good communication throughout.

And they do IR conversions, too.
