Answer:
We use Dental Buying Group and they come annually. There needs to be a critical exam (which takes longer) every 3 years.
I know that often the local hospital radiography departments offer this service too and I believe Henry Schien and Dental Directory do too.
If you have the make of the x-ray machine you could call the UK distributor (as I doubt it will be made in the UK!) and ask for a list of preferred service engineers
