   I called Simon due to my lock being sticky & difficult to open. Simon responded straight away and was at my house within 24hrs. Not only did he fix my issue quickly he also recommended a much safer lock, for which I was grateful for, as I have small kids in the house. Great service and I certainly recommend.

   Simon??? Fantastic guy. Tried to enter my shop this morning. Issues with external electrical roller shutters. I called him up told him my issue. Came out straight away aprox 20 mins as he told me. So on time too. Sorted the problem out. Knows his stuff. Cannot but highly recommend him. Also for a short notice Saturday morning call out. I thought he was reasonably priced. Anyone who has an issue with accessing anywhere. Definitely call him. Thanks Simon Regards Mark

   Simon came to fix and service our very large UPVC sliding doors and sliding tilt door and did a fantastic job. The work was carried out to a really high standard and everything is now working perfectly. He and his joiner friend Nathan worked really well together, both very meticulous and clearly take pride in what they do. Simon also gave some really sound advice while he was here, which we really appreciated. The price was very reasonable for the work done. It did take a couple of weeks before he could come out, but that???s completely understandable as the job wasn???t urgent and Simon is clearly a very busy guy. Overall, we???re really pleased with the result. I???d definitely use him again and wouldn???t hesitate to recommend him to others.

   Called this company after having a problem with my front door. Came out when convenient for me, very friendly and efficient service. Having a previous locksmith out for the back door also which had not been fully sorted it was no trouble for simon to have a quick look on his way out and rectify this for me also. Would happily recommend this company.
