london bike mechanic home visit recommendations

hello all

I am after the holy grail of bike mechanics... a nice man/ woman who, in return for cups of tea/ coffee/ whisky and pay, will come to my house and fettle my bikes with love and care to a really high standard. Someone who can appreciate the odd retrobike and also work with modern disc brakes and suspension. Someone who loves what they do.

Does such a person exist in London, and would they ever consider cycling south of the river to East Dulwich?

can you recommend anyone?

Cheers!

If your bike makes it to Putney - I'm more than happy to work for Single Malt. :P

now that would be no problem for me, the single malt bit, the problem is 4 bikes and not wanting the hassle of carting them around for servicing.

If you're ever in the area, I'll have one up in the bike stand and 3 waiting, and whisky in a bidon.

The google link was where i started, great stuff, but no sense of who's any good and who, maybe, isn't.
