Before anyone gets started: I recently had my car mapped by Bob (my 3rd visit) and the road mapping process most certainly does take a safety first approach! It can be a little intimidating for newbies as they'll have to drive their car quite precisely whilst getting accustomed to it's new found performance. It is NOT scary because it involves any dodgy antics, or wreckless driving, however!
Traffic always comes first and it is the driver's responsibility to take this into account when meeting the requests of the mapper; they make it very clear that you should do this. The road mapping process is actually very controlled and performed on a dual carriageway set at NSL.
You WILL NOT find a better mapper than Bob, I'm convinced of that much!
Also, an advantage of road mapping is that you get to see how alterations to the cars mapping translate to on road performance then and there.

I just wanted to dispel the notion that on-road mapping doesn't put safety first. Personally, I think the road is the only place to finalise a map: that's where you drive it after all!

LOL to avoid starting a mapper war, I'm just going to say that you won't find better: there is no way of empirically proving who is the best.

Many of the best tuners on here have either left other jobs to pursue mapping full time because of the love of it, or they do it on the side cause they enjoy it so much.
FWIW
I've also had dealings with Jolly Green Monster and Andy F and all of them are first class as far as service is concerned: good advice, no obligation and no BS.

You will not find better than Bob (and you'll find many worse imho) and he is at this end of the country, unlike Andy F who's up in the frozen wastes
Bob is based in Swindon so is no more than an hour from pretty much anywhere in Surrey and that gives you a excuse for an "enthusiastic" drive home.
He maps on the road, but then where do you drive your car? On the road or on the dyno...
Email him any questions and he'll get back to you, usually in the evenings.
