Does anyone know if anyone offers this service in the  uk?

I don't believe so. Ian King will arrange shipping back to QSI in the US for you. When I enquired about the need for it when buying my 690 he said he hadn't needed to send one back yet.

Thanks Alistair, i was going to contact Ian for advice, I dried the desiccant out last night and am hoping that  a gas refill was uncommon & not necessary, but was preparing myself.

As you've mentioned dessicant, I'm sure Ian won't mind if I quote what he said ...

Dessicant replacement can be done by the customer.  Argon re charging requires the camera to be returned to QSI.  I can do that for customers and it costs me about £80 to return a camera,  but in 4 years of selling QSI cameras not one has had to be returned to QSI for argon re filling yet.  The QSI dessicant system is so good that nobody has suffered from internal condensation
