“I hired Eddie to repair a UPVC window and front door, and I couldn’t be happier. He arrived on time, completed the work quickly, and stuck to his original quote with no hidden costs. Eddie’s transparency and clear communication made the process stress-free, and his tidiness left the work area spotless. The repairs were excellent and offered great value for money. On top of that, his friendly and approachable nature made the experience even better. I highly recommend Eddie for his professionalism, skill, and outstanding service!”

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.
