However profesional clean might not be a bad idea - even with a swab it would be easy to smear it arround and make the problem worse

Not near leicester
I use Mifsuds who are in brixham near torquay in devon
but previously I've also used Fixation in Vauxhall, london
have a look in the back of amateur photographer - there must be somewhere more local to you
Price wise mifsuds are 35 quid for a crop body, and 65 for FF or 1.3 - IRRC fixation were slightly more
(both those are while you wait services - there are loads who can do it if you send the camera away)
Also note of caution: do not, under any circumstances, even is a 16 stone psychopath is pressing knife to your jugular, use jessops - I used them once before i knew any better and the camera came back with more cack on the sensor than when it went in.

i did the wet clean as i thought that would sort it, it left a nice rainbow effect all over the sensor! I got a sensorpen and gave it a clean and it came up spotless after that.
That was the first time id cleaned my sensor so was a bit nervous and did panic a bit about the rainbow effect but it was sorted no problem.

Nice one 
For bookmarking....
Here's a very useful reference.
Saw the bloke giving a talk and it was blimmin obvious why I'd always struggled to get my sensor clean - his tips nailed it.
For the record...
My main problem was that I went straight for the wet clean, which is great for oil, but crap for removing dust.

Almost double for ff? Thats mental! Place I use up here in Glasgow (AJ Johnstone) doesn't charge you any different if its crop or ff or at least they didn't last time I had one done.
Tried Calumet once, they were rather rude about the state of the sensor when I brought it in and they did a crap job of cleaning it. Think they have an open day coming up where they are offering a free clean, I'd still rather take it to AJ johnstone n pay.
