Bearings for Planet X Model C wheels

Hi there
Lots of noise coming from my wheels (PX Model C) - my LBS has advised that a change of bearings is needed. Does anyone know where I can order bearings? Planet X have given me minimal info, and have basically told me to find them myself.
Here are the bearing details:
Front 699 (L8)
Rear 6001 2RS.

Are bearings expensive? Given that a new PX wheelset is £99, would the cost of getting the bearings be worth it?

The LBS reckons that the harsh winter, and my use of a degreaser while washing the bike have probably caused this.

Thanks
montac

Thanks for that. I did do dome googling, but obviously wasn't looking in the right places!
