Hoping to get to Newport on Friday, or early next week, will post the outcome, and find out what else they do, alterations etc.

We used to have a very old firm of cobblers and saddler shop in our home town, but was forced out of business by the likes of Timpsons, who can only just about use a pot of glue.

I notice there are no updates on this, so thought I'd add my experience.....

Well, I can report that Emlyn Canvas & Cordage Co Ltd are still in business at the address above.

I telephoned in advance - popped down and they completed the repair, while I waited (a simple one - stitching between roof of awning and awning rail bead was coming apart).

I won't say how much, but repair was very, very reasonable!!!!

Highly recommended.

I have used Cardiff Tent Services in the past. Always found them very good even for things that they would it normally do, eg car seat repairs.
