Default Wheel balancing

I recently had my PFF7's re-painted at JPPolishing but shed a balance weight soon after! I took the wheel to Elite but the result is wheel wobble at 80-85 It's not the first time Iv'e been disapointed with the results from there!
I've decided to get all four re-balanced as I'm not confident with the result from JP and would like to try somewhere other than Elite.
Has anyone got a good recommendation for wheel balancing in Essex? I'm in Romford but would consider a few miles if the recommendation was based on good results. e.g. Has anyone used Essex Tyres at Crays Hill or AS tyres at Chigwell?

Cheers JohnD

Sorry of hear of your balancing woes John, on another note, are you pleased with the job JP's did on the wheel refurb?

They're 'OK' Little bit inconsistant with the laquer and the paint in the bolt holes seems a bit sparse! and the balance weights were not sticking very well (luckily, only one came off!)
