Leicester is the southern edge of our coverage, over 2 hours from Sheffield via the M1. City centre, Aylestone, Knighton, Stoneygate and Belgrave are areas we'll cover, but pre-booked work only. We don't promise emergency response at this distance.
Home security from the front door out. Cylinder upgrades, mortice locks, window locks, patio bolts. The Leicester housing mix means one cylinder spec doesn't suit every door. We carry the wider kit.
Every job comes with a written invoice, a five-key set as standard, and a photographic record where it's useful for your records or insurer. The quote we give you on the doorstep is the figure on the invoice.
Independent, family-run, and securing Leicester homes every week.
