Fantastic job done by Jim on fitting a new glass panel in my patio door for a hole for a cat flap. From the first enquiry I sent he was very responsive, booked me in quickly to measure up then when the glass panel arrived booked me in quickly to install. He arrived on time on the day of installation, was very tidy and did a great job! Would highly recommend Jim’s services and will be using him again in future.
Had guests locked out of an air BnB in the back garden. With the keys inside. Could not use spare key as front door was bolted from inside
Called jBee locksmith and he attended property on less than half hour , gained entry within minutes.
Would recommend to anyone! Thank you very much .
Absolutely fantastic, a lifesaver! I locked myself out of my house Saturday evening and within 15min Jim was at my house for an emergency lockout visit and working on the door. Non-destructive, not a scratch. Very professional, even made me copies of my keys before leaving. Also, my dog absolutely loved him !
We asked Jim to gain entry to our basement as the door lock had failed. Jim arrived on time and got straight to work replacing the centre case and multipoint locking system. He cleaned it all up and aligned the door correctly. Jim then had a look at our front door which was jamming and difficult to lock. He also managed to realign that and that now functions much better as well.
