Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Highlights
“Dean was fantastic. From the initial conversation to the first visit to the property. He was punctual, polite and explained every part of the process inc of cost and alternative options. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to others and I wish all tradesman operated the same way. Thank you again”
“Excellent first class job all round”
“I recently used this locksmith service and couldn’t be happier with the experience. They arrived quickly, were professional and friendly, and explained everything clearly before starting the work. The job was completed efficiently and at a fair price, with no hidden surprises. It’s such a relief to find a reliable and trustworthy locksmith when you need one most. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for fast and dependable service.”
Detailed reviews
Dean was super professional, arrived on time carried out his job with professionalism and so polite which made a refreshing change from some workers we’ve had in the past. Price was very reasonable which again is refreshing none of the usual “it’s going to be expensive” just great tradesman with a can do attitude.
He was efficient, on time and had great communication. He was reasonably priced too.

Locksmithing isn't government-regulated in the UK, so anyone can trade as one. The Master Locksmiths Association vets, inspects and background-checks its members - a useful extra assurance for this trade.
Find an MLA-approved locksmithGet the call-out fee AND the total price agreed in writing before they set off. Emergency locksmith overcharging is a common complaint.
Be wary of anyone who insists on drilling the lock straight away: most locks can be picked open, and drilling then selling a replacement is a known upsell.
Look for a locksmith approved by the Master Locksmiths Association. The MLA vets and inspects its members, and locksmithing is otherwise unregulated.
