My Focus key has lost its coding

My Ford Focus key fob stopped working. It opens doors manually via the central locking and starts the car fine, though. We replaced the battery - still nothing. I've tried coding it using the ignitions but when I press a button on the fob it didn't beep again.

The first two on the list apparently give very good, very fast and very cheap service.
