Fantastic, can't fault anything. I called about a broken front door lock, and they were out and had it fixed within the hour. Very pleased, thank you,
Excellent service thanks for getting back to me immediately and calling out so quickly. Definitely recommend your services
Fast, courteous and professional. Would recommend and use again.
Sunday evening in Tarvin, key snapped in the front door. Engineer was here in about 22 minutes, pulled what was left of it, fitted a new Euro cylinder. Price matched the phone quote — no extra for the weekend.
Quick, fair, no nonsense. Called after a break-in attempt in Heswall — back door frame chewed up, the lock wouldn't catch. Made it secure same night, came back next morning to fit a BS3621 mortice. Sensible bloke.
uPVC door in Ellesmere Port stopped locking properly — handle was lifting but the bolts weren't engaging at all. Phoned mid-afternoon, the engineer was round inside half an hour from the CH65 side. Spent maybe ten minutes diagnosing, said the gearbox was the problem, had the right one on the van. About 40 minutes to swap it out. £39 labour plus the part, exactly as told on the phone.
