Job location: BH17Paul was really good. I had a lock issue on Good Friday, contacted Paul in the morning and he was able to attend site to resolve the issue in the afternoon. Considering it was a bank holiday, the price was reasonable. Will definitely use again. Highly recommended.Response from Dial-A-Locksmith

I called Paul when my tenant had an issue with the lock, he was so friendly and professional and it was sorted out the same day. He explained beforehand what the problem was likely to be and what to expect in regards of costs. I am really happy that I found him and I shall be using him in the future.Verified reviewerJob location: BH14Response from Dial-A-Locksmith
