Broken key in lock. The veteran locksmith answered my phone call promptly and arrived within 2 hours (just like he said). Totally professional behaviour and attitude with an accurate estimate of costs. He cared for our property, so he stayed and replaced 2 further locks that we needed doing. Thank you.

Emailed Mat in the evening. Asked for some advice, came straight back with what he thought was the problem (he was right) He told me the price of the different locks available and price for fitting, which was a great price! Fitted the next day. I cannot recommend Mat enough, he runs an honest, professional and efficient business and would not hesitate to recommend to friends and family. Thanks again Mat
