Great local service. Timpson quoted me £30 for a basic motorbike key. I ordered a blank off eBay and was going to have a go a replicating myself. A quick search to see if there was anyone close and I remember this place. Popped in, nice friendly service and a key cut for £4 while I waited. It would have only been £10 if I hadn't had a blank key. Will definitely be back and the shoe repairs look good too.

Just collected a pair of Rig Boots from Gary at Formby Shoe Repairs. He replaced the Vibram sole with brand new ones from Vibram. I've used the boots for 15 years and with this fantastic repair they should last another 15. Crackin' job. Many thanks.
