I've just had my 35 year old B & H 1010 clarinets overhauled by Dawkes in
Maidenhead (http://www.dawkes.co.uk/). I particularly chose them because I
was able to go along with the instruments and talk directly to the
technician who would do the work and discuss what needed doing and the
problems I was aware of. He's done an excellent job and I'm very pleased
with the results.

I'm sure they would be willing to discuss your intonation problems, and I
believe they'd be honest about the chances of solving them before you're
committed to spending any money.
