Look in Sailplane & Gliding magazine for companies, or PM me for details of various companies.
I'd second this. There is lots of carbon fibre in a modern glider.

Glider inspectors have substantial experience of repairing composites which are structural. I only know enough from watching to know that it's a highly skilled activity, and repairing to full structural strength requires extensive knowledge.

Your local gliding club (www.gliding.co.uk) will be able to give the location of your nearest expert in this technology.
