One gearbox replaced in french door due to not locking. Aaron came round to have a look to identify the problem first. Went away to order a new gearbox and fitted within a few days.

The lock was replaced on patio door when the key snapped off inside the lock. Very swift same day service. Friendly and professional and everything was checked such as how the door was hanging and ensuring locking mechanism was all lined up. Price was very reasonable with only the essential repair carried out and no hard sell of unnecessary work. Highly recommended.

I had the locks changed on my new house for security and Arron was very prompt and efficient in doing so which was much appreciated. All locks left in perfect working order.
On the carpentry side, Arron built the framework for a new chimney breast and arranged for that to be plastered, all of which was excellent and exactly to my specifications. He is very knowledgeable and trustworthy, always ready to adaptor amend to his customer’s satisfaction.
Everything left clean and tidy on completion and I would have no hesitation in using his services again for ongoing projects.

My elderly mother’s lock had broke on her old uPVC door. She called Arron who came round straightaway. He said that the door was probably one of the first uPVC doors and he didn’t have one of those locks on the van but he could make one up but unfortunately he was off on holiday the next day. Because he was so genuine we said we’d wait until he was back and true to his word the day after he came back from holiday he came round took some more measurements and the following day it was all done. A really reliable and trustworthy guy.

The lock broke on one of our uPVC doors. I rang A1 and Arron came the same day. He then ordered a new lock, and it was fitted as soon as it came in. The door had dropped so adjustments were required, but Arron did everything very quickly and for a good price. Definitely get Arron back if we had any other locksmith issues

I recently moved house and wanted all the external locks changed. Aaron from A1 was recommended to me by my new neighbours and I was very pleased that they did. He arrived on time, was polite and knowledgeable, changing my locks and mechanisms with ease. Very reasonable price for an excellent service. No hesitation in recommending A1 for any locksmith business. He is also a carpenter and I hope to use his services for some further work I require.

I was at home with my young son Saturday afternoon when our front door lock mechanism jammed. I found A1 on google search and called them at 3pm. They answered the phone quickly and were very helpful. By 4pm they had got to my home diagnosed the issue and resolved this.
I can not recommend them more highly, thoroughly friendly, honest and great value for money service. Thank you for your assistance with our door!

Open lock to failed lock mechanism on front door.
Supply and fit replacement centre gearbox and new handles.
Re-fit mechanism and adjust locking points as necessary.
All of the above was done by Arron of AI Carpentry and Locksmith. He was friendly but also very professional and soon got the job done. I will be using him again.

I contacted Arron via the form on the website and received a response within a few hours. I didn’t have an exact date and time planned when I made my enquiry, but Arron kept in touch and we arranged a mutually convenient appointment. The service and price were excellent and I would definitely recommend Arron’s services.

Very high degree of woodworking craftsmanship and exceptional customer care displayed by Arron in fitting 2no mortice deadlocks to doors one of which was grade 11 listed Georgian requiring particular care and skill.
All at short notice and reasonable cost.
Couldn’t be more pleased.

Arron had my kitchen removed and a new Howdens kitchen installed.
He organised all of the delivery and other traders such and electricians and plumbers. Made the process entirely stress free especially as I was away on holiday whilst all the work was completed.
I arrived back to a completed new kitchen that was installed and finished perfectly. He was even able to organise and get extras installed such and flooring and tiling.
Arron was patient and detailed throughout the whole process with a great attention to detail. He was even able to resolve a problem with the wrong units being delivered within an hour.
I was able to call and message him at anytime of day and receive a response instantly.
I would very highly recommend A1 Carpentry and Locksmith to anyone looking to get a new kitchen installed.

We had a large kitchen re-fitted with A1 Carpentry, including extensive plumbing, heating and electrical work. The friendly, professional and well-organised approach made a long and challenging re-fit pass by with minimal disruption. Communication was clear and regular on anything as needed which helped the work flow smoothly. All those involved completed all the work to a high standard and were flexible to work around with the demands of the job.
