    Fantastic service!

    Posted 1 day ago

    I lost my front door key and worried it was stolen. I went on Checkatrade and Ivo only quoted me £5 more to replace the lock straight away. He was there in 20 minutes and replaced the lock in 10 minutes. Excellent service all round!

    Professional, quick and reasonably priced

    Posted 31 January

    Attended the property within 4 hours of enquiry. Assessed the problem and was able to replace a faulty mechanism and have our front door locking perfectly. Reasonably priced and professional. Would definitely use again.

    Door locks replacement

    Posted 24 January

    Quick response to messages, came to measure and deal with broken lock. Within a couple days, both requested locks were keyed alike and replaced with a different system. Fitting was quick, would definitely recommend.
