Where can I get a New Handle for a Garden Fork Fitted?

Once upon a time there weren't so many manufacturers so it was easy to pick the right sized one up and not that difficult to fit it.Is there anywhere offering this service now.  I don't want to buy a new fork just because I need a new handle!

Well I've tried Ealing Boards & Timber, Wickes, Syon Park Garden Centre, Homebase and an out of town DIY shop.  No luck - so far.Any more ideas?

Reminds me of Trigger in Only Fools and Horses who had the same broom for years.  7 new heads and 4 new handles.

Yes John,  four candles, plugs  and hose.I'm still laughing!Regarding the original query, I'd second Ealing Boards and Timber - they're always helpful.

Be very careful you don't get into a confusing situation with the shop keeper and end up with a quadruple order of wax based lighting devices!

Anyone else think of the Two Ronnies?

If you mean a wooden handle ask at Ealing Board and Timber (on Uxbridge Road between Fire Station and Northfield Ave junction) should be able to custom cut to size (according to my elderly neighbour)
