Just had a new set of tyres fitted on my 3 piece rims and the seal has blown on the two of them. Can anyone suggest a good company to get them resealed. I am based in Surrey.

you can reseal them yourself it is not a massive problem, but I can tell you now, the tyre fitter is to blame for it "blowing" as split rims should have the tyres mounted from the rear to prevent issues like this happening, especially with tyre levers being weilded!
I can't remember the name for the stuff but it is only silicon sealer, and only take a few mins to do a wheel providing the previous stuff is easily removed.

Bollocks to this 24v scrap!
I did mine but on rm's which is easier (2 piece) I have (i think) a pictorial how to if you want to send me an address...basically its take the rim screws out separate (i did mine by placing a length of 3x3 against the rim and hitting the other end with a heavy mallet...do it on grass cos they do tend to fly apart and grass is soft! ) cleaning and then using a good silicone sealant sparingly..screw the whole lot back together...and it takes a bit of time if you do the job properly ...just putting back 30 (ish)nuts takes a bit of time ..even with a power driver..and then it is easier to clean them properly while they are apart.
