 | The cost of buying a new pair of quality walking boots can be high, therefore having them repaired with a quality sole makes good sense.
You should be aware that a cheap, brand new pair of walking boots can often be bought for less than a quality repair, however they are often inferior quality and many find them uncomfortable.
A complete resole repair can be a laborious process for the cobbler so the price often reflects this. Your boots current sole is patched or removed prepped and glued, and after the resoling process the boots are finished by hand, and then usually conditioned for waterproofing. The price guide quoted here is for the entire units. However it is often possible to get the heel or the sole repaired without replacing the entire unit. These repairs can be more cost effective and just as durable, but perhaps not quite as aesthetically pleasing. | £ 48 | £ 75 |

 | Replacing a key fob battery can be a bit tricky. It's best to use a local professional to ensure that the new battery is fitted correctly. Please note. You will need to call into a local locksmith shop to get your car key battery changed. It is unlikely that a mobile auto locksmith will offer this service.
If your remote key fob has stopped remotely opening the doors, it’s possible that the battery needs replacing. Also, if your car key only opens the doors intermittently, the battery cell may be getting running low.
You should be aware that if the battery in your fob is dead, you should still be able to start the car. A dead battery in your lkey will result in the remote locking and unlocking functionality stopping. In some keyless cars, this may not be the case.
A local specialist will be able to check the existing signal, change the battery and ensure it is sending a signal once the new battery is fitted. | £ 8 | £ 15 |
