Dickerson and Son in Baldock, Herts are the common recommendation. In reality, a good bodyshop should be ok, look a somewhere that does classic cars. Repair panels are also readily available.

Dickersons are a bit of a distance from you Beki :?

There is also an IMOC member at Buxton who is very good

Still a fair distance from Grantham though

If nobody can give you a recommendaton, just find a local bodyshop place, maybe use local knowledge of friends that have used someone before.

It's not rocket science to get the arches replaced really. I just used a small two man type bodyshop. Was fine.

Same, I just asked around locally, went for quotes at a few different places and got a feel for the place before deciding.
