I'm not local enough any more to find out exactly what's happening (I
used to live in Newhaven Road, about 300m away). However I do know that
there used to be periods when he was shut for a few weeks with little/no
notice (or at least none that was visible) for holidays, illness etc.
Given the grills on the windows etc. then I can understand him not
wanting to put up a sign saying "This place will be empty for the next X
weeks".
He doesn't have an answering machine, but on the odd occasion I rang and
he didn't answer then he rang me back soon after (he'd obviously used
1471). So if he is there but you're not catching him, then it may be
worth ringing. His hours can be a bit flexible, like 7-10 instead of 4-8
etc. and who can blame him with all this nice weather I've been hearing
about!
You can forgive him a hell of a lot when he builds you a good solid set
of wheels at almost cost plus a few quid for labour!
