Fantastic service. Steve was brilliant : top bloke, personable, fantastic service. We just moved into our new house, the lock broke on the second day. Steve answered straight away and was flexible to work around two young kids. Offered lots of relevant information and provided two brand new locks. Door operates a hell of a lot better now. Would 100% recommend.

Excellent service. Our back door lock broke. He had same day availablility, and came and replaced it for a flat rate fee. Really easy to communicate with via text, resonable price as well. Will be using him again if we have any other issues!

Brilliant service. I needed a new lock and handle for a back door and stable door window and Steve was so helpful and gave great advice. He popped round the same day, Steve ordered multiple handles to make sure I got the finish that I wanted. Made the process very easy. I didnt realise he will also cut extra keys for your new locks at half the price Timpsons do so order from him if you want extra spares!

Steve was highly efficient and knowledgeable but also really warm and friendly. He gave really impartial advice- advising us to upgrade one set of locks but not another which didnt need it.

Highly recommended!

Fantastic service! Called Steve at 4pm on a Saturday as we couldn't lock our back door. He came out within the hour and sorted the problem quickly. He also had a look at our front door and made a few adjustments to that too. Overall, a brilliant service. Highly recommended
