Turned up ridiculously quick to help me out of hours when I locked my car keys in the garage. It was about 20 minutes from my initial call to having my problem solved, and they were really nice about it. Totally recommend!!

Very efficient service. Steve went out of his way to fit us in as our front door lock had broken. He arrived on time, communicated well and gave some great advice on locking the door correctly. Steve worked quickly and kept everything tidy and we now have a much better door handle at a reasonable price. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again! Thank you.

We were strangers to the area and to our hire vehicle which we managed to lock ourselves out of. However we were so lucky to somehow connect to Steve. He was absolutely great. Totally straightforward with very reasonably prices options which were carried out quickly and efficiently. Thank you Steve !

Steve is a friendly, well mannered tradesman who completes work to a high standard and at very reasonable prices. Not only can he change locks, he can do almost any other job as well.
