Beware! Rogue trader

Dishonest and deceitful. False claims on adverts. Tried to get me to sign a blank contract. Drilled a doorlock that probably did not need to be drilled. Damaged and removed other door parts un-necessarily, costing me to replace them. Taught me to find a reputable MLA (Master Locksmiths Association) locksmith on their website. Have now reported to Trading Standards.

I will reply to this review by telling the truth.

Im a 16 year experienced locksmith & i work on upvc doors every day of the week. Im the experienced person in this transaction & Unfortunately you haven't any mechanical knowledge or skills in the industry.
My local supplier who's been supplying upvc door & window repairs for over 20 years inspected your multipoint mechanism and confirmed my actions taken we're 100% correct and you're multipoint mechanism was completely jammed up and needed replacing. On this occasion you've commented on something whereby you've guessed what you think should have happened but got it completely incorrect otherwise you would have carried out the work yourself.

Good job but expensive.

Prompt, professional and courteous and did a good job. However, rather expensive charging £234 to change a front door lock which took him less than 40 minutes to do. I would strongly recommend getting a written quote from the company before you get any work done.

Broken lock gearbox

Second time we’ve used Nick in nearly as many weeks for the same problem but a different door!! Came out today on a Saturday at short notice to change parts and replace a lock. Both times he did the job, quickly, efficiently, was very clean and explained how everything worked, with sensible pricing. Glad to have seen him again and hope we don’t need to call him for a while, but if we do, we know we can rely on him. Many thanks

Emergency call out.

Called Nick as I couldn’t open the front door. The mechanism had somehow gone wrong. The call was answered very quickly and attendance at the house not long afterwards. Nick soon had the door open and replaced the faulty parts. An excellent job. Nick was a very pleasant and professional individual. Would highly recommend him to anyone.

Solved my problem in a flash

I texted Nick this morning as I had an issue with my front door lock. He replied promptly and provided some sound advice, which solved my problem. This level of courtesy and expertise is very a precious commodity. Thank you.

Speedy friendly service

Called Nick as I had a front door that I couldn’t lock, he told me he’d be with me in 30 minutes, he actually arrived in half that time.
Really friendly gentleman who put me at ease straight away. Nick talked me through each step of what might be the problem and what he would need to do, showing me exactly what he was doing at each stage.
He solved my problem with no fuss.
Should I need help in the future I would definitely ring Nick again, I cannot recommend him highly enough.
