Think big - reprinting company stationery and unding the confusion created
is probably much bigger than sorting out the cockup.

You need to permanently redirect the .co.uk to the .com using a 301
redirect.

You need to remove all content from .co.uk There should have been none,
avoiding this mess; if you redirect properly, then the site will not be
seen, so needs no content.

There may be short term damage - but that was a risk whichever way you do
the redirects, as tthe current system is simply wrong.

so you need three 301 redirects:

www.domain.co.uk to www.domain.com
domain.co.uk to www.domain.com
domain.com to www.domain.com

Additionally, you need to check that all your internal 'home' links go to
www.domain.com or "/" - not to index.htm or anywhere else.

Then check the site with xenu

Then get some applications in to quality directories, always using
www.domain.com
