Great work and quick response
Had a malfunctioning door lock on a uPVC door. Rang Dean in the afternoon, he came the following morning, quickly identified fault, ordered part and fitted it the next day. Fast efficient and friendly tradesperson.

Fantastic Work
Dean has fixed a window which has a jammed lock. Other companies would not touch it. Dean has done a fantastic job and saved me a lot of money by not having to have the window replaced. Couldn't be more pleased to be honest.

Door Locking Repair
Excellent tradesperson, ensuring the door and all the mechanism were fully working before being completed. Trader said any problems call me and I will come straight away. Trader also assisted and gave advice on other doors/windows in our home. So will look to use trader again.

Broken lock replacement
I was impressed by Dean‘s efficiency and overall quality of his work. He made two visits: the 1st to fit a temporary lock while he sourced the non-standard replacement. Within a week he returned to complete the work. Many thanks, Dean, for your friendly and professional service. I will certainly contact you again if I need a locksmith.

Replaced broken door handle and fittings
Dean arrived within a few hours of my phone call. He had to order a new door handle and fittings (mine is an Edwardian house, with original doors) and came back within a few days to fit them. He was very helpful, did a good job and I was very pleased. I have used his services before and I was very pleased then as well.

Broken window hinge
I discovered my kitchen window hinge was broken last night. Called Dean this morning, and he was able to come to sort out the problem in the afternoon. Very professional and efficient service, and I would definitely recommend 1st Call Southwest Locksmiths.

Great work and prompt.
Dean did a really good job replacing some hinges on a couple of windows that didn't close properly. He also fixed a window that wouldn't open. He worked very professionally and protected the flooring from footprints by covering it. He spent the time to talk me through what he was doing. While he was here he noticed out front door wasn't shutting properly so quickly had a look at it and fixed it. I would definitely recommend him in the future and also use him again.

Follow up call due to having issues with the lock - entirely my fault for using it in the wrong way. Dean came out and was very friendly and professional. He was highly informative and did not charge for the additional call out.

Dean arrived on time and replaced two locks. The job took about 20mins. He was so helpful, efficient and tidy. I've already recommended 1st Call Southwest Locksmiths to several friends.

Excellent work at a fair price
I wish we’d known about Dean before, as a previous experience with a different UPVC window repairer had been unnecessarily complicated and time-consuming. I was able to get an appointment for Dean to come out to our house very easily. He came as agreed, ringing first with an estimated arrival time - which was very helpful. He carried out the work (replacing a locking window handle and repairing some others) we had discussed over the phone super efficiently and for a fair price, to a high standard. He was also very friendly and helpful, and clearly pleased to be able to help. Dean was then able to produce a paper invoice straight away, meaning I didn’t have to wait to be able to pay him, and I already had the paperwork I wanted for my file (without the hassle of printing it out myself). I would recommend Dean without hesitation.

We received excellent service from 1st Call Southwest. Dean turned up at agreed time and managed to open our digital safe, it was a great relief. After years of use with no problem it was a worry that we could not open it. The problem seems to be resolved and we are very grateful to Dean for his work. Would certainly recommend 1st Call Southwest
