 Poster: A snowHead

I am in West Oxfordshire and am looking for someone local but reputable to transfer the bindings from an old pair of skis to my new planks. Unfortunately, most seem to be a 2 hour plus drive from me. Does anyone have any recommendations?
TIA

From what I can see using a Goggle search, they closed at the end of 2019.

@Banjoman, Is it quicker for you to go north, to Lockwoods? Or Ellis Brigham at Milton Keynes.

Looks like they're about 90 minutes from me. Thanks for the suggestion, I will investigate further.

Looks like they're each about 90 minutes from me. Thanks for the suggestions, I will investigate further but probably more inclined towards Lockwoods as they are independent and I tend to be wary of chains such as Ellis Brigham as it can be a bit hit and miss depending on the experience of the person doing the job.

@Banjoman, they have got a pretty good reputation and I’ve had bindings remounted there, albeit on kids skis. And are independent too.

Just in case anyone else is looking, these guys do "ski and board tuning only ie: waxing and edging" but replied incredibly quickly.

Looking at their website, it appears these guys do waxing and edges only. No mention of other services.
