Pete came to my daughter’s house for security reasons. Very helpful and polite. Did everything he could to make the home safe and secure. What an amazing charity. Thank you.
Flis
We had a video doorbell fitted today and we are very pleased. Mick was punctual, friendly and set it up expertly on the phone. He explained the system clearly and answered my questions. I would definitely recommend this service
Patricia
He was so helpful, polite and friendly, he fitted a new lock to my front door which made me feel much safer. I mentioned a key safe and he fitted one of those as well.
K Waller
Mark changed my locks, added letterbox security, an alarm, and checked over my flat. Thanks to him and my IDVA Helen, I feel so much safer — and can finally sleep better at night. He’s an absolute credit to the charity.
