    Alarms / Security

    Posted 16 September 2025

    Superb, knowlegable, local and friendly locksmith and alarm company

    We called Joe a few years ago to sort out a front door lock which was snagging. I was so impressed with his promptness, attitude and quality of work that I asked for a quote for replacing our old wired house alarm. Quote was reasonable for up to date wi fi equipment and fitting. The job was done with good humour, rapidly, cleanly and worked first time and continues to do so with annual checks. Very happy with Joe, his family and his service and have no hesitation in recommending him and supporting this local family business. Thank you!

    Front door issue.

    We had a problem with our main door so I phoned Joe Taylor and he came round the very next morning and fixed the issue which we are extremely grateful for. Joe is reliable, professional, friendly, polite and communicated well with the work needed. Would highly recommend Joe Taylor. Thanks again Joe.
