    Locks replacement

    Posted 1 day ago

    We honestly can’t recommend Michael highly enough. He was reliable, professional, and did an outstanding job from start to finish. He took the time to explain our options and share his expert advice, which we really appreciated. Our door and side window were quite delicate, and when the glass unfortunately cracked, Michael took full care of the situation — coming back personally to fix it and sticking to the original price. Exceptional service and a genuinely trustworthy person!

    Mortice lock fitted replacing a very old lock

    Posted 17 September

    Michael arrived on the day he said he would and at the agreed time (24 hours after ringing him )He immediately set to work and removed a very old lock and fitted a BS 5 lever lock. He also fixed a yale lock which was malfunctioning. He was polite, friendly and professional and his price was very reasonable. I definitely recommend him and would use him again.
