Judging by the Specialized website, the Allez uses Tektro brakes, which would have been my guess. I'll bet they're R540s. They take Shimano cartridges. If you've already got cartridges, pick up some Kool Stop Dura II inserts. If you've not got cartridges, get some from your LBS and then buy some Kool Stop Dura II inserts.
For replacing the rear caliper, you can probably pick up a like for like Tektro replacement online somewhere for very little, or you could replace both front and rear with, I don't know, Tiagra calipers for £40 or thereabouts.
So something like these would fit ?

simply undue the screw and replace? I wonder my LBS seemed disinterested in doing it
Ive asked them 3 times and they made up some reasons very strange
Thank you very kindly Von helmet you always seems to help me much appreciated
