Question Cleaning inside faces of objective lenses

I have been out of the country for 3 months and upon my return I am dismayed to find mould spots inside the objectives of my Skywatcher ED 120mm Black Diamond refractor and my 70mm William Optics Zenithstar refractor.

Both scopes were stored in their cases in the house, and with anti-mould dessicant pakets sitting beside them. The garden is so wet it's like a quadmire, and it seems like it never stopped raining all the while I have been away.

Anyone out there got any ideas of how to get the objective lens cells out, cleaned and put back properly collimated? If this is a job for the experts, who and where are they?

Thanks a million
