Customer reviews for this trader
We have used Steve previously - he responds quickly, arrives punctually and is very friendly and knowledgeable. He recently replaced the window and door locks in our conservatory and we are very pleased with the result. We thoroughly recommend Steve for an excellent service.
Excellent service from Steve highly recommended. He went a long way above and beyond normal efforts in order to ensure happy customers.
Steve was exceptional, came out straight away and fixed a new lock as my old one had broken. Very friendly, I'd recommend him to my family and friends without a doubt. Thank you
Very happy with the service Steve provided. He took time to explain what work was needed and was clear with the price he charged, even though the work took much longer than expected.
Excellent, honest and fair.

Excellent service. Very pleased. Would recommend S. Taylor to anyone who needs a locksmith. Does a great job, very knowledgeable and conscientious.
I used S Taylor Locksmith to change the locks when I moved house. Steve arrived exactly when he said he would, he was polite, efficient and helpful throughout. I also appreciated that Steve did not try to upsell us to the most expensive options. As an additional bonus, Steve was able to fix two UPVC windows all with materials he had with him on his van. I will definitely call Steve if I ever need a locksmith again and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his service to others.
Fantastic same day service.
Very pleasant and very efficient.
Steve came on time and did an excellent job on our upvc window mechanism which had jammed closed. He was very meticulous in making sure everything was working well. We feel the price he charged was reasonable and would definitely call him again if we needed this service.
Excellent service, quick response, very polite.
Steve is amazingly skilled. He sorted a jammed door lock with great experience and expertise, then made sure that everything around all the door fittings were working properly. He worked quickly and was well-priced. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

December 2023 - Steven promptly replied to my email, and visited the next day. He replaced the back door lock that day. He carried out the work quickly and professionally. Helpful and friendly manner. Would recommend.
Steve was so helpful when we had a problem with our front door and we would highly recommend him.
I have no hesitation recommending Steve Taylor if you need a professional locksmith. The mechanism on our back door lock had failed so we couldn't open the door. I phoned him around 10am and he was with us within an hour. He quickly got the door open and replaced the lock which he explained was beyond repair. Although I wasn't expecting him to, Steve reduced the bill by 40 pounds because, due to an unforeseen issue, he had to replace the door handles as well. That's going the extra mile in terms of great customer service. He provided a fully itemised bill including an electronic copy so we knew exactly what he'd had to do and the costs involved. Friendly and very helpful, with a clear commitment to providing the best possible service for his customers. Full one year guarantee also provided.
A real gem of a find. Great fellow knows his stuff highly recommend. Perfectionist and very very reasonably priced.
Steve was fantastic! Came as quick as he could and not only sorted us out with getting back in the house but upgraded our lock and checked everything with the door. I would recommend him to anyone and won't be using any other locksmith other than Steve.

Steve came to fix a lock on the front door of my Mum's house. He was friendly and accommodating of the difficult circumstances with my Mum having dementia.

Steven arrived promptly and fitted new, more secure locks to our front door and back patio door, happily answering lots of my related questions in the process. Finding the right size patio door lock handles proved problematical for him but he persevered, providing us with the new locking access from the outside that we wanted. Our original supplier had said we'd need a set of new patio doors at a cost of 3000 pound, to achieve the same outcome!! Needless to say, we thought that using Steven was time and money very well spent. We won't hesitate to do so again, as necessary.
