Covering Tilehurst and nearby
I am based in Reading and cover Tilehurst, Calcot, Southcote, Norcot, Kentwood and Purley on Thames (RG30 and RG31). When you call, you speak to Mario, the locksmith who does the job.
Many semis and terraces in Tilehurst have uPVC doors fitted 15–25 years ago. The standard euro cylinder in those doors can often be snapped. If the cylinder sticks out past the handle by more than a few millimetres, or has no markings, it is worth a look.
I confirm an honest arrival estimate when you call, based on traffic, your location and availability.
