    Replacement of old lock

    Owen sent Ryan who arrived exactly on time and was very efficient. Ryan explained our various options (replacing old lock) and just cracked on. He was friendly and tidy. Would definitely recommend.

    Great service

    The hinge on a double glazed window broke on Monday and it wasn't shutting properly. Phoned Owen on Tuesday. He sent Ryan on Wednesday and it's been repaired. Brilliant.
