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.
Locked out of the flat on Claypath at half eleven on a weeknight. 19 minutes, no damage to the lock, sensible price, no upsell.
Back door uPVC at our place in Pity Me had stopped lifting to lock — handle had been getting heavier for weeks. He came out the next morning and replaced the multipoint in around 50 minutes. Brought the worn gearbox in to show me what had given up. 12-month warranty card with the receipt. Fair money, no nonsense.
Sunday afternoon, tenant locked out of my house in Gilesgate. 25 minutes, door open clean, invoice through Monday. No late-hours premium. Will use again.
