“Dave was able to do the job much quicker than I expected as he came within the hour. The window was jammed open and the room was freezing at night. I had put a new catch on but it still wouldn't open, the gears had broken, he saw that the other two windows were the same so he got new gears for all three and fixed them all. Great job done.”

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.

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.

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.
