Contacted Chris by email and received a quote immediately which I accepted. Chris then contacted me again and arranged for a visit today. The fob was programmed and tested and all working satisfactorily. I recommend his services.

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.

Official checkOn the public register
Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 5 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Detailed reviews
Called this company in morning and came within a few hours as promised. I bought a used Peugeot 108 with only 1 manual key, he programmed a new key fob fast and efficiently. Lovely helpfull young gentleman and nothing was too much as my door had previously been slightly bent on top corner he straightened that. Service from them was 100%. I now have an electric key fob that works perfect and price was so cheap compared to dealer prices. Highly recommended Great Service, great company and very happy
Fast, friendly and reliable service! Thanks Chris will definitely recommend

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.
