How this score is made up
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.
What their website advertises:
Use this as a reason to call them first, not a guarantee they can attend now. Confirm availability, timing, and call-out terms directly before you rely on it.

Ian opened the safe and replaced the keypad it works perfectly again lifesaver as wife’s Xmas presents were locked in there thanks so much David
L contacted Iain as he was recommneded by my brother and my sister who both need a locksmith recently. I spoke to Iain on the phone and he was able to discuss the problem and visit the next day to fit in with my work arrangements. Iain kept me updated by text about his arrival time. He took time to explain the issue with the door mechanism/gearbox which was the issue. Lock was upgraded too at my request. Iain had all the parts in stock on his van so there was no need to wait for him to seek parts. He even cut an extra key I needed too! Kind, helpful and professional service and would recommend
Did exactly as stated, kept me updated with time he would arrive, work carried out expertly and efficiently. Very happy customer. I have no hesitation in recommenting.
