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.

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.

He was a very personable man, so so helpful, and did a fabulous job. I had a problem with the lock on a window, and was unable to open it. I'm extremely pleased with his service. I have used Dean before, and wouldn't use anyone else.

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

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.
