    Really happy with the job

    Posted 08 December 2025

    Les did a brilliant job fixing my broken window lock and door lock fitting. He did a brilliant bit of work tidy, fast, and clearly knows what he’s doing. I appreciated how quickly he got everything sorted and how he made sure everything was working perfectly before he left.I’ll definitely be calling Les again if I need anything in the future. Thank you!
