I locked myself out of my house tonight and called these guys in good faith. They quoted 59 however on arrival the guy said 100 or 150 and I had to pay there and then. He didnt care I had to find the extra money from my family. Awful company beware!

Tonight, we had an unfortunate situation where we got locked out because I accidentally left our key inside. Luckily, my daughter found Berkshire Expert Locksmiths online, and after calling urgently, a locksmith man named Yanko promptly arrived at our location in less than 30 minutes. Yanko, skillfully opened our door in less than 5 minutes, saving me and my two children from having to sleep outside in the cold weather.
I was impressed not only by his quick response but also by his reasonable charges despite the late hour. Berkshire Expert Locksmiths truly came to our rescue and we are grateful for their efficient service. More power and wishing you all the best Berkshire Expert Locksmiths!

Called on a Sunday after being unable to lock the front door. I spoke to the owner who was very polite and friendly. 30 minutes later the locksmith, Janko, arrived, quoted me a very reasonable price and another 30 minutes later he had fixed the lock and re-alligned the door. He was a pleasure to deal with and the whole service was brilliant. Will definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone.

Could have saved myself a lot of headache by coming here first! I made the mistake of using another local locksmith who jacked up the price, used poor quality equipment (i.e., a generic lock that didn't match the external shield) and to add insult to injury, they attempted to charge me 145 for a second visit to finish the mess they started after charing 264 for the initial entrance. Unforeunately, I figured out I was being conned halfway through an exceptionally bad deal, and then got in contact with Berkshire Expert Locksmiths to fix the damage caused by the previous company. Berkshire Expert Locksmiths are fabulous. Communications were transparent, professional and prompt.
Service was speedy, affordable and top quality. Will recommend to all of my neighnours! Don't make the same mistake I did by doing business with Economy Locks who cannot be trusted whatsoever - use this company instead.

I contacted this locksmith services in the aim of quickly and economically opening one of our home's bedroom doors. That's exactly what I got from them. The door to my house was unlocked without causing any damage and at a reasonable cost.

We were locked into our first floor flat when the mortice lock failed. Berkshire Expert Locksmiths arrived at exactly the time they said they would and rescued us within minutes. The engineer was very professional and pleasant to deal with and had our lock changed and working within 15 minutes. I cannot recommend them enough, fantastic service!

Front door wouldn't lock--9pm! The owner himself was out within the hour and very quickly sorted the door. Lovely guy (even if he did have a *little* trouble finding our house LOL). No attempts to give us services we didn't need. Good service.

I needed new keys for my house and he was able to come right away to fix it. He was also able to fix another lock where the deadbolt was misaligned. And while I was sorting out the payment, he also fixed an issue in the bathroom. I was very happy with the service provided and would definitely use this company again.

Fast and efficient service to replace a broken lock. Locksmith arrived within half an hour of calling. Prices seem competitive, but then I'm not an expert locksmith. Would recommend Berkshire Expert Locksmiths.

Yanko arrived promptly and checked several times that the problem was not a fluke and quickly replaced the barrel. He then went on to check that I had tested it and was satisfied. Thank you so much for making this a positive experience!

These guys are AMAZING! Having managed to get myself locked out of my house after midnight - Berkshire Expert Locksmiths were the ONLY company that picked up the phone and dealt with my emergency. ( I tied at least 10 different numbers beforehand.) Janko was super helpful and Alex was just BRILLIANT. Excellent service and value for money. They really know what they are doing and were so polite and helpful. 5 Star service rating and highly recommended!
