Lock Change in Wivenhoe
New tenancy, ex-partner, lost keys, dodgy builder. Locks changed and keys accounted for.
The single most common job I do. Old cylinder out, new insurance-rated one in, and a clean set of keys that only you hold. I'll tell you honestly which doors actually need doing and which are fine.
Local note — Wivenhoe
