Sounds like its making progress 
£500 is a fair chunk of money, but having said that he is doing a lot of work on it. Grinding the valves in is a time consuming job - I would know, I'm only half way through and its taken me nearly 6 months :lol
Sounds like the valves had a load of crap stuck to them - mine was like this as well but attributed it to the furnace like situation it was exposed to (carbs were removed so everything fell into the cylinders)
