When I got my new van I had to make a decision. Do I buy a new awning or have mine extended. After checking the prices of new awnings I decided to have mine extended. . I rang Canvas repair at Burton on Trent and asked about having it done, they asked what the size was and what did I want it extending it to. I told them that it was 960cm and needed it to be 1000 as that was the size recommended by Lunar. He suggested that it might be better to make it 1008 Which I agreed to. He said that it would be £180 including collection and return. I asked them when they could collect it and they said tomorrow (Tuesday). I had appointments that day so we agreed that they would pick it up on Thursday 29th April and returned on or before Friday 14th May. I received a message on my Answer phone the following Wednesday to say that the awning had been completed and would be with me on Thursday, 8 days early. On Saturday I tried it on my Van and it fitted perfectly. The only way I could tell that it had been extended was that the part that fitted on the awning rail had been completely renewed.
I can only say that this company did an exceptional job.
I would recommend this company without any qualms at all.
This is their website. I hope the link works.

Unfortunately I don't have any photos as we haven't been away since we got it back. We have our first trip out on the 23rd May when we go to France. I will post some then.
I don't know how much you need it extending by, I think they will only make it 50cm bigger.
They have got some photos on the website.
