I recently arranged for Gearing Locksmiths to come and look at a UPVC door that needed repairing. They arrived promptly and proceeded to talk me through the problem as they resolved it. They also explained how other locksmiths would have gone about it resulting in a much higher cost. Since I have come to know, like and trust them over the years via BNI, I have no doubt whatsoever that they were correcting the problem in the most appropriate manner, and for a fair price. They had to venture out to the van on multiple occasions but each time they came back in they removed their footwear, keeping my carpets clean. I was especially impressed by the perfectionist nature – they wouldn’t rest until the door was just right. Indeed, on their way out they couldn’t help but also straighten my front door. Matt is a true professional and a jovial fellow to boot. I will heartily recommend their services to friends and family and naturally will look no further for my own lock and UPVC needs. Thank you very much.

Keys Needed

We recently had cause to have two extra keys cut for our newly installed front door. I duly contacted local locksmiths who informed me the cost of £35 for each key (Ultion keys are apparently quite specialist as a code is needed in order to cut replicas). Shocked at the price, I contacted Matt at Gearing Locksmiths. Within a day the two keys were ready to collect and at a massively reduced price to. the original quote. Communication was prompt and concise, and Matt and Emma's attitude are constantly professional and courteous. I would thoroughly recommend Gearing Locksmiths in future.

Matt and the team at Gearing Locksmiths looked after us so well. They did a few things for the house we just moved into. They called and texted us with regular updates about when things would arrive and when they could do the work. The work itself was brilliant, everything works perfectly.

I called Gearings out to replace the locks on my recently purchased property. They came out the same day on the time they had arranged with me and were quick and tidy working. I would one hundred percent recommend this company.

Matt and his apprentice were both very helpful and friendly. He explained about how the lock would work and step by step procedure. They were both professional and I would not hesitate to use them again.

Second time I've used Gearing Locksmiths and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Call answered immediately with friendly Emma taking my details, and advised that Matt was local to me that afternoon and would try to pop in in the afternoon. Sure enough just after noon Matt called to say he'd be fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes later he arrived and got my door open and replaced the gear mechanism. Friendly, polite and efficient. Everything you want. Thank you.

We have used Gearings on several occasions now and have always been impressed by their work and the fact that they always return a call and arrive when they say they will. We have had damaged double glazing units replaced, a stuck window unjammed, a UPVC front door- hanging off its hinges- got a new lease of life and now works like new. We asked for a quote on a recent piece of work, which they did but they also advised that it would be better to replace rather than repair. Gearings couldn’t do the replacement work but suggested several firms that could. In the current world where it’s difficult to find a reliable tradesperson who will turn up, Gearings are a refreshing change and so are very highly recommended.
