What the flags above mean: the official register records this company as no longer active. Work may still be offered under this name, but the registered entity behind it cannot be held to account the way an active one can. Confirm exactly who you would be contracting with before any money changes hands.

Detailed reviews
What excellent service. Andy turned up approx 25 mins after calling him. He not only fixed the lock but also had new handles on the van which he fitted. Door now operates as it should. Gold star service.
Even though he was busy , he assured me he would attend as soon as he finished the job he was on , he rang me to keep me in the loop on arrival he was professional and friendly, he informed me of the standard charge and explained any additional prices if the lock could not be saved . His charge was very competitive, and it was the best price l had been quoted, by at least 15% . He quickly got me into my house , He checked that the lock was working completely and asked if l was happy with the work . Would recommend this company to anyone who needs a locksmith 100% and would use him again
I called Andy because I was locked in my bedroom due to fault with the door handle. He came within 20 minutes of my phonecall, calling in on his way to another job, gained entry into the house, reset the alarm, and unlocked the bedroom door. Andy was extremely courteous, very professional, and was kind enough not to laugh at my predicament. He was polite and respectful and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and his company. Thank you Andy, you definitely saved the day.

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.
