Professional and efficient work carried out
Picked Phillip from the reviews he had received from his previous customers. Having carried out work on a front door lock (which needed replacing). I can confirm that his work is excellent, professional and neat. He fully explained the problem and provided a number of options to resolve the issue. He provides great care in ensuring that he does a good job and I would have no hesitation in recommending his services to others. He also noticed an issue with the back door lock which he quickly resolved Mirza 27/09/17

Trustworth, helpful and professional
After my husband lost his keys Phil came round and changed our locks. He arrived little more than an hour after my telephone call and fitted new locks to the back and front door. My husband and I are visually impaired and Phil made sure that we could tell the difference between the back and front door keys and even fitting them onto a keyring for me as well as ensuring I could operate the locks on both doors. Phil is very professional and helpful, and provided quality work at a good price. I highly recommend him. Marie.

Great service
Rang Phil as the lock on our garage door seized and we couldn't get in. I didn't know if this would be a job for a locksmith or a garage door specialist. He offered to call the following day even though it was a Sunday. He arrived as arranged and within minutes sorted the problem. Phil is efficient, helpful and professional and I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Excellent service and workmanship
Rang Phil regarding being unable to lock a door, he asked a few questions and he gave some possible causes and estimated costs. On arrival he was able to quickly identify the cause of the problem and had it rectified within an hour or so. Excellent service and workmanship from a professional and friendly person. I will be recommending him to my friends and family.

Excellent and Fast Service
Rang Phil as i needed some locks changing and new ones fitted and same day he came and checked them out and gave me a quote, his was the cheapest of 3 that had quoted me so i decided to go ahead with his. I have a very busy schedule but Phil was able to work around it and come to fit it at a time convenient for me. His work was perfect, didn't waste time in doing them, and not only was his price cheap but he also threw in a few extras as well. I would highly recommend his services and i am 100% satisfied with the work he has done. Thank you.

Wonderful service and a friendly, trustworthy gent!
We had a problem with a sticking back door lock and rang Phil on Saturday to ask if he could come and have a look. We weren't desperate, as in locked out but he booked us in for Monday between 11 and 12. He rang when he was half an hour away, as promised, and was on site very promptly at just gone 11. Tried to fix the lock rather than just saying it needed a new one but it was too far gone, so replaced with a good quality new lock. Very friendly throughout, very professional, with a great job done and tidied and cleaned up afterwards. We would definitely use Phil's services again, and will be recommending him to others as a top quality locksmith who does exactly what he says he will do. Well done Phil and keep up the good work!

Excellent , highly recommended.
As a landlord I struggle to find good and reliable craftsmen but Phil is exactly what I hope for. On time, good communications, knowledgeable and has great attention to detail, good prices to boot! I found him here on Which? ,and he first came on a callout of matter of urgency to solve the problem of a key that would not turn and could not be removed in a front door lock. He then proceeded to obtain parts for a relatively old PVC locking system, renovate the mechanism which was both faulty and inappropriate for tenants , which now functions like a dream. Also he realigned the mechanism in the patio door which was not locking without force, and that too is now good. His prices are good, and do not try to exploit the urgency in which his skills are no doubt often required. Will use again, no doubt about it.

Top class service
Our lock broke all of a sudden and we were unable to close our front door. I found Phil on which and quickly read some reviews and as he was local decided to call him. I was not disappointed, he was here in 10mins and after spending over an hour to fix and secure our door he did a fantastic job. Extremely reasonably priced and nothing was to much trouble. Would definitely recommend him. And just wanted to say thank you Phil and thank you which.

Great service
Phoned this company after my key wouldn't work and kept turning. Explained the type of door, the age and was advised it may still be under warranty and try to contact who I bought the door from since i could still gain entry to the house- they had gone bust. Phil gave me a price, completed the work without any fuss at the time and date he said he would. He replaced the gearbox and even adjusted the door for a very competitive price. Would recommend him again, just like he was recommended to us!

Efficient and Proficient
Phil fitted a lock to a wrought iron gate 16 months ago after the original lock got damaged. He both sourced and fitted a much better lock at a very reasonable price. I noticed that the lock mounting needed tightening and rang him for advice. He came round the next day and, in awful weather, tightened it up. No fuss, no bother, no charge! Great service from a local trader. Thanks Phil.

Very satisfied excellent service
Am happy to recommend this very pleasant man, Nothing was too much trouble for Phil when I had a broken lock, he came quickly, his work was very tidy and he went the extra mile by helping with security issues and checking other locks all in with the same price he quoted which was very reasonable. He will also cut extra keys at the same time .I would not hesitate to call on him again.

Needed my front door lock changed quickly after my son lost his house keys. I contacted Phil after having read all the reviews and he did live up to all of them. He gave me a reasonable quote and he carried out the job to a high standard. A locksmith you can totally trust. Would certainly use him again.

Great value, honest, reliable
My lock was broken on the front UPVC door. I couldnt get my key out of the door if it locked and sometimes couldnt lock it. I phoned him on a Sunday of all days, he was very imformative and knowledgeable. I explained I was worried because i was on my own with my children but i was also worried about price. He came on time, he was very polite, explained everything to me and put me at ease straight away, he also gave me advice on emergency exits and spare keys(which are cheaper than going elsewhere (alot cheaper), he explained why the problem had occured and was extremely precise with his work. I would definatly recceommend him to EVERYONE, i will, with no doubt keep his number and use again if and when neccessary and will promote his service by word of mouth. Very very good value for money, an EXCELLENT service

Efficient, friendly service. Would use again.
I needed someone urgently to repair UPVC porch doors for my elderly mother in law. I got Phil’s details initially from a recommend on Steetlife.com. He came when he said he would, repaired the locking mechanisms, sorted out the door hinges as they had dropped and gave me some security advice/options. He did a fantastic job and cleaned round the door area afterwards. What a nice bloke. I would definitely use him again.

Excellent and realistically priced service
Lost my front door key, and thought that someone might be able to identify my address. So, change the lock! Phil Cleaton answered his phone promptly, arrived when promised, explained our options and fitted a new lock with three keys for a reasonable price. He's been in the business for a good few years and is a pleasant person to deal with. What more can we hope for?

Top class service
From start to finish the service that I received from Phil was top class. I needed replacement locks for our new house. Phil turned up quickly and promptly to assess the job. He understood my requirements, offered good advice and explained my options clearly. He provided a quotation the following day which represented good value and the job was scheduled in. Phil turned up on time and worked quickly, systematically and tidily. The quality of the work and the new locks was excellent. The job was completed as specified, on time and on budget. Phil is clearly a skilled professional and the fact that he is a friendly chap is a welcome bonus! He helpfully gave me a contact for a roofing job that I needed doing. I have no hesitation in recommending Phil if you need a locksmith.

High quality work
Very happy with the work Phil completed; it's to a high standard and quality. Phil managed to fix a faulty door rather than replace a mechanism that I thought was causing the problem, saving me money in the process. Thanks, would definitely recommend and would use again.

My Review
Phil has replaced locks on our windows and has replaced front door lock recently and he was excellent in the service he provides. Nothing is too much trouble and he gives advice and options.The front door lock was a big job but Phil sourced similar locks over a couple of days and worked very hard to get the replacement lock to be a neat fit.

Which? Local Review
Would recommend this locksmith wholeheartedly. Why? Firstly, a very nice chap and friendly. Secondly, a skilled locksmith, honest and value for money. Thirdly, explained all what he was doing whilst stripping the complex locking mechanism and what can go wrong with them. Finally, I thought we might need the whole mechanism but no, Phil had brought two parts with him that he suspected we might need, he fitted the cheapest of the two and said that we did not need the main gearbox mechanism which was now running smoothly and he was happy with its operation. Finally, he adjusted the door vertically and horizontally to alleviate what had caused the lock to jam and fail, going the extra mile. It is no wonder why he has over 20 positive reviews here. The job we needed fixing was a conservatory door that was open but part of the lock had jammed resulting in being unable to close or lock the door. All fixed on the same day and now the door works like a Rolls Royce door and lock. Superb tradesman!
