When you invite a trades person into your home, you deserve to know exactly who you're dealing with. Andy Speight believes in complete transparency — which is why his credentials are front and centre.
Andy is City & Guilds qualified in locksmithing, one of the most widely recognised and respected vocational qualifications in the UK. City & Guilds accreditation is not handed out lightly — it requires rigorous study, practical assessment, and a genuine mastery of the trade. It means that when Andy works on your locks, mechanisms, or security systems, he is doing so with formally verified expertise and professional knowledge behind every decision he makes.
Andy is also a proud member of the UK Locksmith Group — a professional membership that demonstrates his commitment to industry standards, ethical practice, and ongoing development as a locksmith. Membership of a recognised trade body gives customers an important layer of reassurance: Andy is accountable to a professional community, not just working alone. If you ever have a concern, that accountability matters.
Perhaps most importantly for customers welcoming Andy into their home or business, he holds a current DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check. A DBS certificate means Andy has been officially vetted, confirming he has a clear criminal record and can be trusted to work in your property with complete confidence. Many locksmiths don't take this step. Andy does, because he understands that trust has to be earned, and it starts before he even arrives at your door.
Combined with more than 30 years of hands-on building experience and five years as a practising locksmith, these credentials reflect something simple: Andy takes his profession seriously. He invests in his training, holds himself to a high standard, and wants every customer to feel safe, informed, and well looked after.
