I would be happy for any COMPOTENT welder to do a repair, There are WELDERS and there are people who think they can weld!!! (OK I'll get down from my high horse now and forget about welding until Monday morning)

Actually the guy who did that is very competent and did say it was difficult to do with the frame still attached to the "remains of the bike" I could not remove the c frame as my leg was still in pot. Subsequently after " listening" to advice I re framed the bike. Best option. If anyone wants advice how to do this without falling foul of dvla rules or having your bike on a q plate feel free to pm me Warning a salvage frame without v5c document is worth scrap value only and you have to jump through lots of hoops to get it on a q plate. Do not pay silly money for a 2nd hand frame from the salvage mobs on ebay without a v5c.
