Both my sister and I applied for renewal in June and my parents in July. I received mine no issues in about 10 days (that includes the time having to send off my old one).
My parents and sisters took a little longer, closer to the 3 weeks recommend time allowance.
Mine got sent to Glasgow and was very efficient.
No harm in sending off for it, just be conscious that it could take longer

Copied from site.Hey guys,
Has anyone done a passport renewal recently? I need to do mine and wondering how long the turn around roughly is as I need to see family in Germany. TIA
How long it takes
Because of coronavirus (COVID-19), it takes up to 6 weeks to get a passport if you apply online. It takes longer if you apply by post.
You may be able to get a passport urgently to travel for compassionate reasons or work, or to prove your identity.
Do not book travel until you have a valid passport - your new passport will not have the same number as your old one.
