Multipoint on our Edwardian villa near The Common had failed. Engineer matched the brand, fitted a new strip, took 70 minutes. £139.

Emma G. uPVC door repair
Came back to my SO14 flat after Christmas, the door wouldn't budge. Cylinder had frozen and broken. Locksmith picked through it, fitted a new one. £99 same morning.

Joe L. Lock change
Tried break-in on our place in Shirley last weekend. Frame got chewed up but the lock held. Boarded that night, BS3621 mortice fitted Sunday. £159 sorted.

Laura K. Burglary repair
Burglary on our SO19 terrace, kicked the back door right in. Frame split top to bottom. Same night they boarded it, BS3621 lock and timber repair done by Wednesday. Insurance paid every penny.
