Real testimonials, from real people like you

I am an estate agent and use Richard as my only locksmith as he offers a fast, friendly and excellent service… Cannot praise enough thanks.

I had a key broken in a stiff lock on double french doors, which had been a problem for weeks before the key snapped. I was quoted around £160-£240 by the first listing on google. I tried YELL and found Richard, locally. He gave me a list of prices which were clear, reasonable and easy to understand. He agreed to come the next day at 3-4, and he actually called ahead and arrived half hour early – brilliant. Quick inspection, removed the lock, asked me if i had another key, which i did, and he said £30.

WOW – He could have told me anything, and easily charged treble. He then explained sometimes these heavy upvc doors drop out of alignment, he serviced the door, adjusted the hinges, refitted the lock, and charged me £30 – 15 minutes, clean job, boots off, and honest.
If Carlsberg did tradesman, Richard would offer electrics too!! ( he doesn’t, i asked)

I never write reviews – This is a first – If you need a locksmith, call this guy !!!!!!!

We have now used Richard twice and both times he has been excellent. Efficient and quick to respond. We would use Richard again and recommend him to everyone!
