Timpson: what do users think?
J W: Closes
Contract Options: Shoe reapir- no you say you do shoe repair but you dont. The person in the shop was happy to take my boot to fix and come back in 1 hour and then tells me that it would not be fixed completely. what is the point - useless service that you provide, then you want to charge me for 1/2 job. laughable. Shoemaker in more than one way. Avoide this shop!
Flapjackal: The guy scammed me. Told me a key cut would cost £20 but then charged me £25 on my card. When I challenged him he told me two different lies ("no, I said 25", and then "I was talking to somebody else" and finally when I kept pushing him he admitted and said "those keys are just expensive, you know" and refused refund." Complete mockery.
Ian Williams: Critical:ProfessionalismI went here on a Sunday at 15:35 to ask if they did brass plate engravings. The guy simply said that i 'might want to come in when its not 20 to 4 on a Sunday'. Oh well.
Him Shun Yu: I didn't catch his name, but the guy who was here Friday morning was an absolute GOAT. Brilliant quality, good service, and all round great guy. Timpson's has earned my future business for having such employees. 10 stars out of 5.

shanny talam: Positive:ProfessionalismMy car keys broke on lockdown eve and I had no way to get back to my home or fix it.

Simon Plummer: Great service and advice
SteiffCollector: First time of visiting this place, what a great little business!A little bit like Dr Who's Tardis, in the sense of appearing very small from the outside, yet far more going on inside!It's a real treasure trove in here, so many different bits and bobs to look at, all things footwear related, polishes/laces/insoles/studs etc, but also collectibles of all sorts, model motorcycles/planes/keyrings/trophies etc.Very friendly and knowledgeable staff and reasonable prices too.I would definitely recommend this place, always great too to be able to support local independent businesses!
Nicola wilkins: At last 😊 proper clobber, who does repairs that last. Downfall is that there is no parking, & repairs do take a while, but they're worth it 👍.

Timpson Ltd: what do users think?
Hector Zenil: Thrice I have changed watch batteries at this location and same number of times that the batteries don’t work. Heavily suspicious that they are installing used batteries and possibly cashing the money as if they had replaced them with new batteries. Avoid at all costs. Rude younger new staff too.
Xavier Shum: If you don’t want any scratches on your watch, it is not your option!My watch battery needs a replacement, but it brings back with scratches. The staff told me what he made on my watch are not scratches, just oxidation…. He keeps saying the watch is too tight, would not able to open the watch for battery replacement, he has been working for 15years for this job,, but it is the fact that it takes 10seconds for another shop to open it. Sometimes you don’t need to force it open if you have the skill. And if you don’t have the skill, it is better improve yourself than blaming the watch.P.s. my watch is my wedding gift that shouldn’t be treated in poor workmanship, but I made a mistake.
Sophie: Great selection of novelty key designs. I mistakenly chose one which hit into my door frame, took it back and they exchanged it for a smaller one of my choice, no problem at all
Leigh Crocker: Awesome service
J B: Does the job but needs some customer service lessons. Little chap with glasses makes me feel depressed. Come on cheer up at least you've got a job and it's not hard.
Krystian Gabrysiak: Critical:Professionalism,QualityRefused to cut car key for no reason
Sol D: Not the friendliest of customer service (just a bit cold and distant, not the worse either) but does a good job and the location is handy
Katy Ward: Very helpful gentleman served me
Jojo A: Very helpful gentleman provided swift efficient service, even though it was close to closing time. 5 stars.
Suresh Paluri: Best for key cutting
Ginger James: Took my watch to them to take out some of the links, he managed to shatter one of the links by hammering a pin into it and still had the cheek to charge me for it. Do not take your watches to this place
Malcolm Eller: Have taken shoes here to be repaired twice, both times costing a reasonable amount and coming back better than expected.
Amine Mecifi: Excellent experience. Polite and helpful staff. Can only recommend!
Gina Hardy: Brilliant customer service
Terry Tozer: A really convenient place located inside the Tesco store to have your keys cut, engraving service, dry cleaning, watch repair, shoe repairs & even phone repairs. In most cases the job can be done whilst you're doing your shopping. Never much of a queue there.
Hatim Salim: ممتازين جدًا طبعوا لي نسخ من مفاتيح ولَم اجد اَي مشكلة. وإن شاء آلله استخدمهم مره اخري في القريب العاجلPerfect job very pleased will use again definitely :-).
julia streete: Took a pair of much loved boots and a handbag in today. Was given a firm quote for repair costs for both, and they will both be back within a week. Good , efficient, friendly service. As ever this is a good company to do business with.
Geraint Jones: Haven't had any problems with them for suit trousers. Come back clean and on time.
Noelia Rios-Garcia: Really bad and disappointing experience, when I paid the man in the shop gave me less change than it was supposed to, he ignored me and I complained to Timpson customer service and nobody got in contact. I will never go back there again.
Innocenzo Procopio: Very bud experience. I brought my suit on Friday morning 24th July and they committed I would have had it back by Monday27th July. the gentlemen in the shop and the customer service guys are not able to commit by when I can have my suit back and I am still waiting for someone to call me and clarify what happened. I will never go back again as they are also rude and not be able to manage customer pressure when issues arise.I will write back in this review when and if I will have my suit back
Mark Dago: Very rude, poor customer service

Jack Holt: Excellent service from Simon.
Trevor Lambden: Door keys two for £13.50
John Mather: Very helpful
Dan Fittock: Gent behind the desk was kind enough to glue down my separated sole for free, so the least I can do is leave a review! Highly recommended- thanks!!
Marlene Attard: Very helpful. Needed some waterproof spray. First branch didn't have but told me what it was and directed me to next branch locally. Excellent kind and informative. Thank you!
Michael Francis: Have always used Timpson for key cutting, and more recently for other services. Good customer service, good quality products.
Pauline Cox: Brought a watch battery, but thought it was a bit pricy.
Girts Lacis: Great service with a quick turnaround time.
Susan: Good service quick n polite
Maria Malova: Dry cleaning service returned my clothes in worse condition than I left it there - there were blue spots all over my brand new expensive pants.When complained I was told that they must have been there before. No, they were not. I was refused a refund or any help except for cleaning it again to be returned some time next week when I needed yo wear them for a wedding that weekend. Thankfully I managed to find an express dry cleaning service which cleaned the pants same day.Timpsons refused refund and did not take the responsibility. Avoid using Timpsons dry cleaning at all cost. They will ruin your precious items and make you pay for that.
Nic G: Incredibly helpful team - Sam has helped with everything from key cutting, re-heeling, dry-cleaning and replacing watch batteries! Always lovely to chat to him too :)
Trevor Reilly: The man is not polite. He was ignorant
Cobalt Blue: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,ResponsivenessEvery time I move houses Timpson is there for me for key cutting and every time my heels need replacing this is the place to go. Excellent customer service and quality of work. I have never returned an item, I have never complained.
Teresa Baker Clark: Every time I go to Timpsons the staff are always very welcoming and helpful. Good service every time be it watch or shoe repairs good value too!
John Healy: Outstanding service.I had a shoe emergency and they repaired it perfectly, there and then.

Timpson: what do users think?
Cheryl Poole: I went into Morrison’s today at 12 noon to get a duvet dried cleaned at Timpsons . There were no staff members on duty but a sign stating that the staff member would return at 12:30pm and if you waited, you would get 10% off. I proceeded to do a little shopping around the store and returned to Timpsons at 12:23pm ready to wait for the staff member to return but he was already there. I explained the above but he refused to give me 10% discount because I wasn’t actually waiting at the counter when he returned from his lunch! I was flabbergasted by his response! I said that the sign had said 12:30pm and I would have been waiting had he not been early!! I asked him if he really thought that I should have waited at the counter from 12 till his return. He said yes because that’s the rules! He also said that there was no proof that I was there at 12! Mate, it’s just 10% discount…..what a jobs worth!I did not leave my duvet and I will not be returning to Timpsons. I will be sure to share this negative experience with my friends and family.
Carol CHEATLE: Did not notify me when it was ready
Andis Kisis: I have been there few times.Staff is ok.But suits always comes back dirty.Never again.
essam mohammed: Took Phone in for a battery replacement, was sent off and returned with all work done to high standard
Mandy Ogston: Friendly service and very helpful
Clay Griffin: Great service. Got 2 keys cut in a couple of minutes. Both work. Lovely service from your team member at ~1pm on 13 Nov 22. Didn't catch their name.
Willan Cyrus: My two duvets were generally well cleaned, and I appreciated the fact that they were placed in attractive bags with handles to take away.
Alan Jackson: Very good service got my 2 old watches working in no time
Lorna Haines: Good staff
Fred Chapman: Very friendly and helpful staff. Reasonably priced, quick turn around on items back to you.
Cjagan nathan: Critical:ProfessionalismCant keep promises to do it in time, not professional at all
Joseph Searl: Poorly . He wears draws.
Karl Elliott: 5 spare keys cut.all working well. Fast, friendly service.
Eduardo Gómez Castañeda: I went to the shop to change the battery of my watch. I was sold the life-time battery warranty (apparently Timpson agrees to change the battery of my watch free of charge until my watch stops working). I agree for that product and left my watch in the shop while I did my grocery shopping in Morrisons.To my surprise, when I came back from the grocery shopping my watch was lying unattended on a table well visible to anyone close to Timpson. When the employee handled me my watch, the chronograph was completely misaligned (it was fine when I handed the watch) and when I mentioned this to him, he said "it is not my problem", made no effort in helping to repair the issue and even tried to charge me £3 on top. I found this a very disappointing service.

Allan bahati: Went in on a dreary Saturday afternoon to get my watch strap replaced.Jasmine, who was on duty that day offered me not only a good deal for 2 straps, but also she was extremely professional, and friendly, and very good at what she did (very precise with what she did with my watches and I love the new straps).I've used other Timpsons branches as well, in the past, and they also do really well.
