Report
Kevin came out to me when I was locked out of my house due to a faulty locking mechanism. It was after hours, about 7pm and I needed to get back in as soon as possible. He responded immediately and worked hard to gain access into what is a very secure house! Once in, he identified the issue, made a temporary fix as it required a specialist new part which he placed an order for. A couple of days later when the part arrived, he attended again at no additional cost and got the door working perfectly again. Great guy, friendly, efficient and professional service. Highly recommended!
