I'm in London......
Depending on what you need done, there are a number of people. Gobles used to use Joe Kreitch, but I think he's since retired. You could speak to Chris at CK Gunworks, I don't know who they use - I can do very limited work in my machine-shop, all depending on what it is.

I agree, What type of work do you need to be done. I just used goble's for a simple job and the smith outsourced it...!?. (The job was to remove a mauser barrel off of a parker hale 1200 action...) WTF? I asked about blueing, they told me they have a guy to do that??

I am planning on using SCGunworks (w ww.scgunworks.ca/) as a result of that expereince for all my jobs.

CK Gunworks, well they are a bit odd, I ask about tiems and get tow guys baddgering me on why I wanted to know. You can ask what they do.

Wortner Gun Works in Chatham does awesome work with Smith & Wessons ( He's the Eastern canada warranty Centre)and seems to do other work too. I would call him with you needs.

Goble's in London highly recommends using Wortner's in Chatham for trigger work.

"...to remove a mauser barrel off of a parker hale 1200 action..." That's not unusual. Goble's smithy likely didn't have the proper action wrench for a Parker-Hale. Without it, it's very easy to twist the receiver.
Hot bluing requires a room(and special equipment) with no ferrous metals in it that you don't want to rust. The salts get in the air and will leave a light dusting of rust on any ferrous metal.
"...I can do very limited work in my machine-shop..." Got a firearms business licence?

BUHAHAHA. Why the hell would he need that?
A buddy shows up with his rifle and you help him solve a problem he's been having with it.

Some of these recommendations might tell you to take a hike if you
