    We needed our front door lock changing

    We were really pleased with Peter’s work. Our front door lock jammed one evening and Peter responded quickly when we put the job out on check a trade. He came early the next morning, explained everything he was doing to us and the lock was replaced and working perfectly within a couple of hours. Would highly recommend Peter if you need high quality work quickly!
