    UPVC Windows Repair

    Posted 30 July

    Change door lock and fix jammed upvc window

    Les performed a miracle and fought the window like a gladiator, persevering until the window finally accepted defeat! In all seriousness, the window was really jammed and 3 floors up so it was not an easy task. Really grateful to Les for persisting! Les also changed my door lock easily and quickly. Will 100% be using Les again for any lock issues and would fully recommend his services

    Window Lock Repair

    Posted 23 July

    Kitchen window not opening despite handle being in operation.

    My kitchen window wouldn't open, despite the handle working. Upon inspection Les immediately knew what the problem was, and what needed to be fixed. He proceeded to get the window open before identifying that a new mechanism was required. Once the new mechanism was fitted Les tested to ensure all was working well. The key difference for me was because of the extensive experience that Les has, I was confident the job would be completed without any problems. So if you're looking for someone who has the experience because they've been there and done it, then Les is the person to call. Highly recommend.

    Very good locksmith

    Les did a brilliant job fixing our faulty door in an emergency. He came quickly and sorted it out for us and was very friendly and reasonably-priced. Would highly recommend him.
