Finding someone to change the casing?

Hi, how do I find a shop in my area (Greater Manchester) to completly change the casing and clean out all the crap of the phone?
What search terms should I be using or is there a specific type of shop to do it?

Does anybody know how much I should expect to pay roughly?

An alternative suggestion...

Changing the front & back casing yourself is relatively simple, there are full instructions on how to do this in the 'TIPS' section. Changing the top panel (the small panel incorporating the on/off switch), is also easily done, the bottom panel is not quite so straightforward though, so should be left alone if not damaged. All parts are available from Nokiaparts... See link in my sig below.

I'd remove the back, front & top casing and the LCD screen (again, instructions on doing this are in 'TIPS') and then use a compressed-air jet (you can buy a small can of compressed-air designed for this purpose from Maplins and similar outlets), to blow out any dirt and dust from the interior of the phone before re-assembling it with new casings where needed.

Are these the parts you mean?
Genuine Nokia N95 Top Cover - Nokia Part No: 256092- Accessory Link LTD UK

Also, why can't you use the same screws again?

The screws wear out quite quickly, and are an absolute pain to remove if they are rounded.

You can use the same screws again, but it's recommend to change them when removing/replacing the front cover.

Yes, you need a 5.5 Torx screwdriver. Some say a 6.0 or a 5.0 but the correct size is 5.5. Be very careful not to round the screw heads.
