whats the legality on getting garages to work on decatted car?

my exhaust is blowin from downpipe to decat union and i aint got time to wait the 2 days it takes renault to get the gaskets so i was gonna take it my local tyre n zorst place n get em to reseal it for me. but are the likely to report me or anything like that?

this may be a stupid question but i dont want to get it sorted then end up gettin pulled half a mile down the road due to an 'anonamous' tip off!

cat back means cat back :D funilly enough, you get the centre section and backbox, the cat stays put, so it will pass emissions
