Amazing service from Dave!
Dave was amazing when I locked myself and my 7 month old baby out of the house, he arrived within 10 minutes of me contacting him and got me back in my house so quickly, even with a tricky lock/door! Dave was so friendly and informative, it was really reasonably priced too and I even received 5 spare keys with my new lock. I would definitely recommend this company to get you out of a pickle like this, I can't thank Dave enough!

Great communication
Had a problem with a window, so rang DW & got an instant response. He gave me a price & agreed to came out in a Saturday. I received a message the night before to confirm he was coming and the time. He arrived on time, replaced the window lock & left everything clean & tidy and charged me the price he quoted. I couldn’t be happier. Would recommend.
