I had a very tricky door to realign. I assumed (very wrongly) that it would be just adjusting the hinge mechanism. Pip came and very patiently worked out what the issue(s) were and got it all fixed. It took over 2 hours and many opening and closings of the door but I now have a secure house. I cant thank Pip enough. I just wish I had used this company before when I had the initial repair done which caused the realignment.

What can I say - both Charlie and Pip were so friendly and professional from the beginning. I called in the afternoon and by 9.30am the next morning, the problem was sorted and at a really affordable price. Charlie was so kind and really reassuring and helpful and Pip went above and beyond to sort out the door lock, making any necessary adjustments. I am so impressed and will definitely be using them again :)

Pip was really knowledgeable and helpful refitting a new lock to an old keyhole. She came out straight away and was able to assess the age of the lock and fit an appropriate new mechanism. She even fixed my front door that didnt shut properly into the bargain. Thanks for such a courteous, friendly and professional service

Pip was brilliant - so helpful and friendly. She sorted out a lock that had been broken for years, quickly and efficiently. I can't recommend her services more highly.

Highly recommend. We had locked ourselves out - Charlie was really friendly on the phone and Pip arrived 10 minutes later. Pip got us in with no problems very quickly and then stayed to rekey our locks which we had been meaning to do for a while. Pip went above and beyond the call of duty to adjust the latch on our porch door which has dropped a bit. Very friendly and fair - highly recommend. Thank you both
