The locksmith removed an old keysafe, and sorted out the problems I had been having with a previously faulty one, which now is in good working order.

The handyman that came to install my key box was absolutely lovely and very efficient. Once he had install that he took the time to explain to me how to change the code if I needed to. He also did another job for me putting together an outdoor chair and when I didn't have the correct screws, he came up with a solution. He was just great!

The locksmith arrived within the agreed timeframe and was polite and pleasant. He fitted the key safe in no time at all, but when I asked him to help me programme it , he said he couldn't do that, and left. He did ask if there was anything else I needed, but we only needed help setting up the key safe. We did manage to programme it ourselves in the end, so no harm done, and the Housekeep managers did ring up a couple of hours later to check we were happy with the service, and offered to send someone round to check the setup for us. We would definitely use them again.

Your trades opperatives were extremely professional. There were 2 gentlemen. They assessed the job with detailed information and did explain exactly how my job could be done. They handled my questions with great skill and I am genuinely pleased that they did because I myself was unable of how intricate the job would be but they did get it done in the end

Shocked by the final price and the fact they said they were here for 1 hour. It was actually 10 minutes at most. But they were very polite and friendly. Also gave me 5 spare keys.
