Can anybody recommend anyone to do this?

With me being a tight northerner, preferably cheap!

Near leeds would be a bonus, but not important.

I have had customers who, before they came to me, spent £55 on the kit from frosts only to try it and find it looks like some one has stuck clumps of hoover dust over their dash. One subaru owner wrote several harsh letters to them to get a refund.

Proper flocking is applied with a 60kv (thats 60,000volts!) static charge. Like too see that in an aerosol!
