Valve guide replacement

The six valve guide in my Jota head need to be replaced.
I intend to use 6 off inlet guides with oil seals which I believe is the latest 'fashion'.
Are there any recommendations where to get it done, hopefully south of Birmingham?

It's worth considering the alternative of using  valves with oversize stems. Saves the risk of off-centre replacement; consequential unnecessary machining of valve seats and loss of shim thickness. Laverda Scozia can supply. Worked well for me.
 
Wolfgang in Canada supplied me with oversize valves which had 7.02mm stems. 
I still managed to use my standard shims, although one or two were a touch tighter on the stems.
A little rub on the inside of the shim using water paper on the end of a suitably sized round bar was all that was needed.
