What Our Customers Say
-
Bought a Georgian flat off Doughty Street and changed every external lock the day we moved in. Three doors, anti-snap cylinders plus a Banham mortice. £349 total which was bang on the quote.
-
Got back to my Bloomsbury flat at midnight without my keys. Concierge was off duty. Engineer reached me in 19 minutes from the call. Picked the high-security lock without a scratch. £89 weekend rate, fair enough for the hour.
-
Key broke off in our shop shutters lock just before opening. Engineer was there in 17 minutes, extracted, cut a new key, we opened on time. Saved a chunk of trade.
-
Burglary at our Bloomsbury maisonette while we were on holiday. Insurance assessor recommended you. Replaced two cylinders, rebuilt the strike on the timber door, all done within 24 hours of the call.
