My La Sportiva Nepal Extremes either need replaced or resoled. I am ideally looking for any first hand recommendations. The options seems to be:

Lancashire Shorts Repairs (£60 + £8 P&P) - http://www.lancashiresportsrepairs.co.uk/walking_boot_repairs.htm

Feet First (£65 + £8 P&P) - http://www.feetfirst.resoles.co.uk/walking-boot-repairs/walking-boot-repair...

Cheshire Shoe Repairs (£45?) - http://www.cheshireshoe.co.uk/hike.asp

Any information on performance of previous resoles or recommendations gratefully received.

Had mine done recently by Feet First and can't fault their service.

One thing to keep in mind would be that soles go out of stock and it can be a several-month wait (they told me) until they come in again. Fortunately for me, I had a still usable old pair of boots knocking around and as it turned out the wait was not too long.
In reply to The Ex-Engineer: I doubt any of them will be bad but from what I hear, LSR are the best and, as you point out, the cheapest.

I had a pair of La Sportiva Katana's done by Cheshire Shoe Repairs, they did a great job, although these are climbing shoes not mountaineering boots.
In reply to The Ex-Engineer: FeetFirst have resoled my Nepali's 3 times. Excellent job!

In reply to The Ex-Engineer:

In all cases give them a call before you put your boots in the post to make sure they have spare soles in stock. La Sportiva have a habit of being hap- hazard on their supply of soles which can cause a long wait / queue.
