Local Mobile Locksmith

I have used this trader before and was very pleased with the work he carried out before, on this occasion we were unable to lock our front door that day which left us in a tight spot we had to use Phil again on a Sunday the same day we were flying out to Cyprus, he came within 40 mins identified the problem explained it and fixed it and even had time to fix a bathroom window handle, once again he was very polite and courteous and a credit to his profession.

Just had a front door lock and door handles replaced by Philip.He arrived promptly as arranged the day before and we are delighted with his work.Thought the repair was excellent value for money.Would highly recommend him to anyone requiring a reliable locksmith.Please keep up the good work!!

A lock on a vital plastic door suddenly went stiff. A neighbour on the street WhatsApp group recommended Phil as she had had good work done. I phoned Phil, arranged a time, and made it clear that I would like to see what was done and have a clear explanation of what the problem was. Phil arrived when agreed and set to work. The problem was caused by incorrect installation and several mistakes were corrected. I was impressed, so I asked him to check the rest of the doors if he had time. Cutting a long story short, I had niggles with each of the 4 remaining doors. One needed a small adjustment, the other three were again incorrectly installed. Phil examined each one, systematically defined the problems, and methodically set things to rights. I have no hesitation in recommending him because he worked methodically, explained things clearly, and left things tidy.

I have used Phil twice now. Once to fit a lock to a new door and once to repair a broken one. Both times Phil did a really good, thorough job and took time to make sure he was choosing the right bit of kit for the job. He was really quick to get back to me and is a really nice guy. The prices were reasonable and he did good work. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards.

Phillip arrived on time and was able to remove our old jammed lock, replacing it with a new one. He is an efficient, very competent, clean and tidy worker who kept us well informed throughout. He is also a really nice guy. A pleasure to do business with.

Broken lock on back door . Phil came out when he said he would . He was professional, knowledgeable and a fabulous work ethic . He did a great job and wouldn’t leave till he was fully happy with it , he really did a first class job . And even checked my other doors as he was leaving . I would definitely recommend Phil if you need a locksmith and at a good price too .

Phil was efficient and professional and from start to finish. He kept me updated on time of arrival, he was knowledgeable and helpful in finding the right lock to replace the one I had which I’d list the key for and completed the work quickly ensuring I was happy with it. I can’t recommend highly enough.

Phillip came to change a lock for me and replace the handles on my front door. While doing this, he also went above and beyond to sort out the issue that was causing the issue with the door handles in the first place. He was friendly and did a great job. I would recommend him and his services.

I highly recommend Phillip. It is refreshing to find someone who is so passionate about their work. He identified the problem with our front door lock, and was able to do the work the next day. He even fitted a temporary lock so that we could use the door more effectively overnight. He works to such a high standard, and the door is now just perfect, he even took the time to straighten and clean the door too! He also found a solution for our awkward bathroom window lock which was broken too. I would recommend Phillip to anyone.

Punctual, great value and very meticulous in his work. Highly recommened. Phil sourced new handles for od doors and fitted them to a high standard.

Phoned Phil the Locksmith on his mobile too have our front door locks changed due to my wife's bag being stolen the night before, he sounded busy as he was on another job at the time but said he would call back which he did not too long after. It was a double glazed door and he pointed out that it was not a barrel lock and the job could easily be done. At the time he did not carry that type of lock in his vehicle but he went back to the office and came back and fitted it and adjusted the handle as it had been previously loose. The change took only 20mins as he had rightly estimated, paid the quoted price, excellent service. Phil was very polite, courteous knew his trade and did a great and put me and my wife's mind's at ease as he said this was one of the better door locks. Would definitely recommend.

Needed someone to have a look at my garage door which wasn't locking and found Phil in my local Alkrington Life magazine. He turned up promptly and sorted it. I was so pleased with job well done so got Phil to come back and change all window locks in my whole house plus changing front door handle and letterbox. Phil ordered the items Needed, came and fixed everything and cleaned up brilliantly after himself. I definitely would use Phil for any job in his jurisdiction in my house from now on. I highly recommend this extremely polite and highly skilled tradesman.

I emailed 3 people about fixing the locks on our UPVC porch and back doors. Phillip responded, gave a day, turned up as arranged, fixed both the locks - one straightforward, one required some inventive adjustment - explained what he was doing, so we understood what the problems had been, and both locks have worked perfectly since. The price was reasonable, Phillip's workmanship, attitude and communication were all one could ask for. I would ask him again if we had another lock problem, and would not hesitate to recommend him.

Phil recently came out to do an emergency door repair (would not lock) he sorted the problem very quickly, he even broke off from another job nearby to help us out. I had to phone Phil again because we had a similar problem with the conservatory door, I am a quite technical myself and Phil talked me through how to adjust the door and get it to lock, he was still willing to call the next day to fix it but with his advice the visit was not needed, I don’t think you will get many tradesmen offering advice to customers. Excellent service would highly recommend.

I got in touch with Phil about replacing our Yale lock. At his request, I sent some photographs of the lock. He obtained a replacement, arrived on time and changed the lock quickly and efficiently, taking great care throughout. He was courteous throughout. His quote for the work was very reasonable. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone. I wish all tradesmen were as efficient and reliable.

Phillip carried out a series of changed locks and handles for us and sourced additional new mechanisms where required. All carried out efficiently, diligently and super friendly. Would highly recommend his service for all things locksmith related.

Having disturbed thieves during an attempt to force a lock on an exterior door at night, the next morning I contacted Phil , who had done a good job the year before when a lock mechanism failed. He arranged to call within a few hours, after finishing a job he was on. He checked a few facts on the phone, assessed the need for a more secure, anti-snap lock and sourced a security handle to replace the one broken in the attempted theft. He then arrived within a few hours, explained what he was planning to do and completed the job promptly and at reasonable cost. Phil is a pleasure to engage with and I have no hesitation recommending him.

Phil did a really great job. A pleasure to deal with, a good communicator. He turned up when he said he would and did a simple repair job, but did it effectively and at a reasonable price. I would recommend

I have been having issues with my UPVC door for a while but I wasn't sure if it was the mechanism or the door or frame that was actually causing the problem. I was wary of getting someone to look at the job because they could push for a more expensive solution than was actually needed. Phil agreed to come and assess the door for free then give me a quote for fixing it before proceeding with any work. He rang me back within an agreed timeframe to confirm my details and arrived on time to assess the job. He gave a detailed explanation of the problem and what he would do to fix it, showing me various parts of the door and mechanism that he would need to work on. He gave me a highly competitive unambiguous quote to complete the job that was inclusive of all charges. Once agreed, he completed the job quickly and professionally and the door has never been in such good shape! He was incredibly polite and helpful, maintained social distancing throughout the job and was mindful of complying with Covid guidelines - he even cleaned the door after he had finished his work! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others.

Phil was excellent and very friendly. He came round straight away when we called him and fixed our front door. He really knows what he’s talking about as he immediately knew what the problem was and how to resolve it. He was very friendly and didn’t even flinch when my baby pooed on me when we were talking. Thanks Phil!

The handle of two windows in our house came off meaning we couldnt close them securely. As we were researching locksmiths to come and fix it, the recent gales pulled one of the windows open and damaged the hinges on one window meaning our house wasn't secure. Despite the country being on lockdown, Phil came and fixed both windows good as new, and was able to do this whilst observing social distancing measures so we were all safe from Covid-19. Great job, great service. Reasonable cost. Would definitely use again and highly recommend.

Phil came out to repair UPVC front door lock very fast. Done a brilliant job and a great price. He even aligned the front and porch doors whilst he was here! Would definitely use again and recommend.

Finding the handle on the upvc back door would not lock I called Phil, who, after a few queries about the problem, indicated he could fix it, had the parts and gave me a price. He was on a job but called as it finished and arrived soon. He identified the problem as a broken gear box, said they usually lasted about 10 years, showed me the broken part and replaced the lock. He also adjusted the door, which was a little out of alignment and, for a small extra charge also realigned the front porch door, which was also jamming, plus he lubricated all parts on both doors. Trusted me to transfer funds to his accounts subsequently. Now very happy with the way both door are operating.

Problem: Difficulty in securing upvc door prior to locking Diagnosis: Worn components in gearbox Solution: Replace gearbox My sister-in-law is wheelchair bound and her carers advised me that the entry door was becoming progressively more difficult to secure (it is used many times a day) and so I contacted Phil after reading the excellent feedback from his previous customers. He responded promptly and was able to resolve the problem much sooner than we had expected. We are absolutely delighted with the service provided by this gentleman from start to finish and wish him all the success that his polite and helpful attitude, knowledge, thoroughness, tidiness and fair pricing deserve.

Our front door lock broke meaning we couldn't remove the key. Phil was called and arrived first thing the following morning. He replaced the lock for us and realigned our door. Decent fella, comes highly recommended.

I sent a request to Phil on WhatsApp, I got a quick and professional reply, explained the exact door handle I was looking for and Phil came back in reasonable time with 2 options, sent me pictures and all details making very easy for me to pick the preferred one. However, Phil went an extra mile and sent me a third option which was exactly the handle I was looking for. He was also flexible to set the time and date that was suitable for me, the budget was agreed beforehand so there were no issues at all. His job was great, did what was required and left no dirt or mess. Also, he was so kind and did a quick fix in another door :) . 100% satisfied and highly recommended.

Quite faultless from start to finish. Phil must be the most amiable and polite tradesman I have come across. Came promptly as promised and completed a tricky job of extracting a key stuck in a filing cabinet lock. After that he set about trying to ensure the lock itself functioned adequately. Although he had come out over the weekend, his charges were very competitive. Has to be most highly recommended.

We suddenly couldn't open our UVPC back door after phoning Phil at around 7.45 am he diagnosed over the phone what the issue was likely to be . Very knowledgeable fixed the door at a reasonable cost works better now than before we had this issue. Would recommend without hesitation.

I was not present for the completed job. My partner was here and said Phil was very professional and cleaned up after himself. Could not of called a better person to do the work. Arrived on time on both visited and kept me updated. This is what trades people should be like. Thank you for your work and Phil deserves the 5 stars.

Phil was professional from start to finish yet very approachable. He explained the work that needed doing and completed it to a very high standard. He was polite, friendly and conscientious about what he does. Communication before, during and after job was excellent. He cleaned up after himself leaving the place spotless. I was so lucky to come across Phil and would recommend him to anyone. Thanks again!

Phil arrived 10 mins prior to the agreed time which for me is always a good sign. Not met him before but found him to be a very pleasant and friendly man. He soon gained entry and identified the fault that was preventing the key from turning fully in the door lock on the front UPVC door. Not only did he replace the mechanism that had been the problem but found other faults that had been making locking the door difficult. He fully explained the problems, causes and remedies as he went along and carried out a very thorough and professional job at a competitive price. A job well done, thanks Phil.

After reading reviews on here, I got Phil to come over and fix my UPVC doors. Both of them were locked fast (locking mechanisms broken) and I was expecting I would need to get new ones, but he got them open and repaired in no time at all. He was punctual, professional, and courteous. Would definitely recommend.

Called Phil to enquire about a faulty lock on our UPVC front door which we were having difficulty opening. Phil arrived within 30 minutes of call as he was working in the area and said he would call and do an initial assessment on his way home and complete the work at a suitably convenient time for us. Phil identified the problem straightaway and set about fixing the lock immediately. What should have been a relatively straightforward change of lock proved to be more challenging due to the way the screws had been put in the door initially. (Laymans terms). Undeterred Phil overcame this problem and a new lock fitted there and then. He also realigned the front door which had been catching on the frame for months. When I mentioned the patio door was also sticking he re aligned this also. All our issues were sorted out within a couple of hours of Phil arriving. Very professional, courteous and personable guy who knows his stuff. Would highly recommend.

Had an emergency; lock wouldn't close; needed it fixing urgently. Phoned Phil at 8.30pm, he said he'd be there is half an hour which he was. Took him just a couple a minutes to get problem solved, to my delight. Also, he put a lock on one of my internal doors about a year ago, which was perfect and suited my needs to a tee. Phil knows his stuff, is very friendly and polite, If I have any more work that needs doing I will be using him and I would definitely recommend him to others.

Phillip is extremely prompt, professional and courteous. I would highly recommend Phillip as he is a great tradesman who takes pride in completing each job to the highest standard

After moving into my new place I wanted to get the locks changed, Phil came out and changed the locks but noticed further things wrong with my door and fixed these there and then. Thanks again.

Highly recommended. Gave a quick quotation (final price came in slightly below!), kept to the appointed time and did the job in a quick and professional and friendly manner. Would definitely use again.

We needed to replace a couple of locks and Phil was simply excellent: efficient, informative, professional and friendly - he even cleaned up after his work! After completing the lock changes he was asked to do, he went above and beyond the call of duty by sending a PVC window lock that we needed and explaining precisely how to fit it. That alone saved me hours of work. I would definitely recommend Phil without any reservations. Brilliant.

I panicked like mad when I was told I needed a locksmith to fix my upvc door. I don't know anyone in the trade and I had to search the internet. I read the reviews on Phil's Which advert and I was really impressed and seemed like a trustworthy bloke and trustworthy he was. He explained everything he was doing and what had gone wrong with the locking system. He put me at ease right away, he is such a nice bloke. The job was done quickly ( the same day I called) and neatly, he even cut me another couple of keys in his van which I had been meaning to do for ages. Phil is very professional and I would highly recommend him, you won't be disappointed!

I had been having trouble with my back door for months - it would have to be manhandled into the frame to lock it, then I would struggle to get the key out of the lock until last month the handle went along with the lock itself. I found Phillip in my local magazine and what a find he was! Professional, friendly, perfectionist. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He sorted the door out no problem and even called back later to check it was okay and to fix a patio door I was also starting to have trouble with. Very reasonable rates too. Utterly trustworthy and a gentleman. I can’t recommend Phil highly enough.

Well, after constantly locking myself out of my house I finally got round to getting my crazy front door lock replaced. Fantastic work, new handle matched perfectly. After I saw how good it looked, Phil even changed my letterbox to match my shiny new handle. Excellent work. Prompt appointments and a great guy :-)

Phillip quoted for the problem front door lock and arrived as arranged. Completed the work on first visit and I was so impressed by his attitude asked him to repair a long time problem with the back door. A tidy worker with no mess left. What’s not to like ?

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

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.

Called to change lock on elderly mother's front door. Gave suggestions as to what would be best for an elderly person and fitted the lock quickly and efficiently and at reasonable cost. Highly recommended!

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.

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.

Phil, is an honest and reliable trader who knows his trade,and a very pleasant personality I highly recommend him.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.
