Estimates of the percentage of goods exports by UK region are published by HM Revenue and Customs in its Regional Trade Statistics release:

Experimental estimates of the percentage of services exports by GB region are published by the Office for National Statistics, however they do not cover all services (they exclude travel, transport and financial services) and only cover 2011-2015 and Great Britain. https://www.ons.gov.uk/businessindustryandtrade/internationaltrade/articles/estimatingthevalueofserviceexportsabroadfromdifferentpartsoftheuk/2015

The two datasets above cannot be aggregated together due to differences in methodology and coverage.
