Hi all,
Would a bodyshop roll arches or is it a specialist service or? What sort of price would i be looking at to get it done etc?
Need a little bit more space in my arches.

Most bodyshops should do it and it shouldn't cost much at all. It's not hard to do if you know someone with a jigsaw and steady hand.

i can forward you details of a superb arch roller! I trusted him on my old skyline so he is good!
Cost me £250 for the rear two arches and that was with a roll and a huge flare!

Yes i have tried the method you are on about! Its best done with a scaffold pole and is very very simple and if ou take your time can deliver some decent results!
I have found it best to do this with coilovers so you can slowly bring the body down so you dont just mash the fuck out of them in one shot! 
heat gun, scafold pole and a very compitant and trusted person to drive your car!
