Following on from HERE, I thought it only right, proper, and sensible, to put the results under a more suitably entitled thread, for search purposes.
A Re-cap....
"Minor" damage to a corner adjustable strap at groundsheet level...
Before:
After:
"Minor" damage to the seam where SIG meets Fly...
Before:
After (External):
After (Internal):
And, of course.... the biggy!!...
A fist sized hole (LEAVE IT!!) at the start of the pole sleeve..... sleeve come away, and tent sections too.... all stitching, no rips or tears to actual material....
Before:
After (External):
After (Internal):
£95 the lot, (No courier involved... I dropped it off and collected, myself), done in exactly one week, and if looks are anything to go by, this is almost certainly going to end in a great big success... fingers crossed!!
Of course, looks aren't everything, and after a 20min light shower, all is still A OK! There are showers a-plenty on their way, apparently, so hopefully, there will be no need to take my hose out, and I'll let nature takes it's course.
I'll report back either way, to confirm the final verdict, but at this stage, it looks likely that, before the weekend is out, I will be sending a massive thank you and well done Email to
CANVAS REPAIR CENTRE, in Burton on Trent.

Didn't realise I was quite so lucky... just googled local tent repairers and struck lucky first time, I guess!!
Muckerettte reckons if you look really closely, and follow the line of the stitching, you can tell where they have done it, and can tell the difference (between original and new). That's not to say one is better than the other, just different. :-)
But you wouldn't know without knowing, IYKWIM!
I can confirm the £95 was for three separate repairs.
Moreover, I can also now confirm that it has been raining almost constantly since late morning, and some of it heavy enough to bounce back up off the road, and having just got home and checked inside the tent, it is bone dry! :-)
A 100% success in my book, and I will find time to Email "My tent repairer"  tomorrow, to let them know how thrilled.... and relieved... I am.
Sincere thanks for all the kind, not so kind, funny, and of course, the downright crude comments, throughout this episode, and the two related threads. Education, information, and wit running smoothly side by side by side!! 
All in all, a good job done by all involved.
Keep smilin'
