How bad did it look?  I'm local (ish) in Yate near Bristol but honestly you're better off having a bit of practice and do it yourself. Laminate never goes on perfect (for me at least), you'll always end up with a wrinkle or two. Also depends what laminate you're using. If you're using the covering from Hobbyking that's designed to cover Balsa and will shrink a lot. You need the clear laminate they use in printers for best results

Are you using a laminating iron? Proper laminate? First time I tried I used the Hobbyking stuff. It was some time before I realised there was a backing sheet on it i had to remove first! 😀
