Just had a service, they recommend I replace the brake discs
Discussion
I took my car to ATS Euromaster yesterday and after the service they said the only recommendation they have about the car is to replace the brake discs in the next few months (Not urgently, but soon).
The measurements they have written down are:
Front: 20.11mm and 20.00mm
Back: 7.3mm and 7.29mm
I just wanted to check that these number do actually mean that they need replacing (They suggested I just do the back initially, then the front a little later to spread my costs).
After watching lots of videos online about changing the discs (Or sometimes I see them called "Rotors"?) and the process seems like something I may like to have a go at too (I have just bought a jack, rubber jack pad, wheel chocks, and a pair of jack stands).

OP, if you tell us your location, we can give you a list of recommended garages/specialists to use if you don't feel confident enough to do this yourself.
I'm in Southampton 
I may try the front brakes myself if they are easier. I can then see if I am comfortable doing the back brakes myself. If I am ever concerned, I will go to one of the recommended garages - brakes are pretty important for safety after all.
Given the wear on my brakes, is this a project I should undertake ASAP? Or am I ok doing research for a few weeks first?
