    Glad to help.
    Autumn us a good time as you need moist soil to reseed but still warm enough to germinate. You can buy boxes of patching seed. Wouldn't turf as it's a fiddle to get the levels right.
    As to aerating etc Green Thumb would do once a year but if your operative is good they will advise or as suggested get a machine and diy but I know which I prefer!
    Brown patches are either dry  which is most likely,  buried rubble, a possible, but unless you are prepared to water really well which takes hours they will recover with a few days rain. Don't mow too close in dry weather though. A green thumb guy told me the closer you cut the shallower the roots are so I used to mow twice a week and had a much better lawn. Now mine in green all year!

    Sorry about the late reply. Thanks for all your help K67.
