If you're experienced at overhauling clarinets then it's worth doing yourself, but if not then have it done professionally by a well respected repairer if in doubt.
B&H used a lot of thick natural cork on the keys and linkages but there are better materials used for this now which are much harder wearing and don't compress as much as natural cork which can make things feel spongy.
I personally like to keep the amount of natural cork to a minimum on keywork in preference for better suited materials. But I still prefer natural cork on tenons over synthetic materials due to the properties it has.
