New Glass cover for hob - suppliers?

Hi, my hob is a slightly raised one which is great for cupboard space underneath but leaves me a bit short on work top space. I'd like to get a piece of smoked glass cut to size with the correct radius corners and hinge holes drilled which I can then fit to act as both a work top in the "down" position and a splash guard in the "up" position. Any recommendations for suppliers?
Thanks!

My local glass supplier is good at that sort of thing - don't try a window supplier as they don't have the expertise with different types of glass. Mine cut and shaped a smoked toughened glass coffee table top in next to no time.

I have one spare, it's just missing the hinges as they were bent but I'm sure you could invent something, do you want a pic of it and measurements?

Thanks I'll certainly take a look at the dimensions - it'll be a right result if it fits but I can't imagine I'll be that lucky as mine will need rounded corners to a very specific radius to sit how I want it to...
