Please recommend a good and reasonably priced company near South East London that can replace sagging cloth headlining for a Gtranturismo.

Thank you

I've been looking in the kent area, found a small company near Faversham that will do the complete service including 6 pillars for £700 but not the sun shades as these are more complicated, the material match is good but not perfect. If you do the strip out and refit he charges about £350 for the relining. So that's what I'll be doing in the winter.

Thanks Jamie.
Unfortunately, I don't trust myself with the stripout job, but £700 doesn't sound too expensive tbf.

That’s pretty good. I need to get mine done too, almost all of it is hanging down. I was toying with the idea of alcantara but haven’t looked into yet. Winter job methinks.

Put some tailor's type pins into it to keep it propped up and away from your head in the meantime. Works a treat.

I spoke with this guy, and he isn't comfortable with doing the initial removal job unfortunately for me.

Oh ok.. well, the search continues I guess.
Can it really be that difficult to find a trimmer that will do a GT headliner/pillars..
I’m going to try three different trimmers in Essex this autumn and see what I come up with.
Will post findings in due course.

There is one guy in Kent that apparently has done several, BUT he wants £1k for the roof job. It's extra if you want pillars done. I'm wondering if there is enough demand that we could get some kind of group buy price off him. Anyone else looking to have this done ?

There’s an automotive upholstery place in Paddock Wood that a garage I used to use rates highly.

Edit:
Well that was significantly easier than I was expecting: http://www.rjturnercartrimming.com/

They previously did a GT roof lining?

Not that I’m aware of, but I’m sure they’d give you a honest opinion if someone took one in.

Surrey Trimming - obviously not close to Kent - but I was quoted £500 to remove the A, B, and C pillars, headliner and to restick this factory-fitted fabric.

That’s very reasonable, was this quote recent?

A couple of months ago - it was only verbal and on the phone.

i SEE YOU FOUND IT!

Ok. I spoke with several firms, and they all seem too busy to offer group discounts for us and couldn't prove knowledge on our cars tbh,.....however I found one place and booked to have my car in for roof trim replacement next week. They have quoted £450 + VAT for roof and C pillars for my cloth material. They are also willing to discuss a group buy when I get there. I'll take before and after pics and share any favourable price they give from the above. They will want the car for 2 days

That sounds great, well done! Look forward to hearing and seeing more. Mine is now completely hanging down front to back with both C pillars also drooping. I definitely need mine doing so count me in when you speak to them, black cloth on mine currently.
Where is this outfit based?
Cheers

Edenbridge, Kent is the location. I can share the details if anyone wants to contact them independently if you prefer. ?
