    Highly recommended

    Posted 30 October

    We were so impressed with Steve. He was helpful with excellent communication and did a great job when 3 of our locks went wrong simultaneously. We would highly recommend him. Thanks Steve!

    Door stay

    Posted 30 October

    Steven very kindly helped me with my outward opening front door that acted like as sail in the wind. It was a simple job to fix but he was the only one who manage to fix the problem. I now have a door I can safely open without being flung out of my home.
