Dave is an absolute legend. My upvc door gearbox had failed and he responded that night to come the next day to get it fixed. Super friendly, very honest and fair and charged a really fair price. Best bit, no hidden charges or sneaky add ons.

I got locked inside my house this morning and I panicked. I rang Matt from Lockfit and what a saviour. He arrived within around 35 minutes and within 20 minutes my lock was mended and all at a good price.
Definitely recommend! We called early hours in the morning (2am) and only had a short wait of 10 minutes. Very professional and helpful.
We got broken into and Alex and his team was amazing. Came quickly, and boarded door up. Gave us a bit of peace of mind in amongst the stress and chaos.
Arrived promptly on a Saturday afternoon and diagnosed and fixed the issue quickly. A complex job with a complete door gear system failure and lock replacement whilst the door was still locked. Would use again.
Dan and Sam handled an incredibly difficult situation with exceptional professionalism, care, and sensitivity. They did much more than just replace a lock; they went above and beyond.
Broke my lock on the way out to work, had no idea what to do. Called Jay, he talked me through what went wrong and my available options. Sorted the problem within the hour with a 12 month guarantee on the work.
Really impressed with the service received, Jacob came out within the hour to fix a broken lock. Great service and great price, would recommend.
Gary came out at short notice, was extremely helpful, provided an excellent service and would use again any day. Highly recommended.
Despite our head office changing the plans at every turn, these guys stuck with us and overcame every issue and left us something better than what we asked. Can’t fault them.
Very efficient work for a good price. I would recommend Jay’s services and plan to use them again in the future.
Fantastic service, Robert was out within the hour.
Couldn’t have asked for a better service, the whole process was incredibly easy and great value. Thank you!
The best. Thank you for coming so quickly and getting the job done.
