Wouldn't it be cheaper to get a new rim and spokes?

I've done exactly this before- I had a LBS do it's for me (55 quid Inc rim, spokes and labour but I didn't get the cheapest rim)

How do you go about doing this then? is it a case of giving them the complete hub wheel and they reassemble the spokes onto it and the 700c rim which would they provide or would I send my 26" wheel and the front 700c specialized sorry I'm not clued up on these matters

Find a local bike shop. Take the motor wheel to them. Tell them what you want. Ask them if they can do it and how much. if they say no or charge too much (should be £60 -£75), take it to the next local bike shop.

It might be a good opportunity to get better spokes. Normal 14 gauge is what I use, but 14g with 13g butted ends would be better. You probably have 13g at the moment, which are heavier than what a normal bike shop would use or what they'd be set-up for, so tell them 14g is OK.

Thanks for the info much appreciated but live in Torbay and been ringing round Bike shops in local area with no joy they don't won't to know or it seems to much hassle guess it's down to location and luck
