As a DIY shop, it is not nearly as large as, say, the one around the corner, but no matter, they still have a few essentials lurking, you just can't browse due to the teeny interior, you have to ask. The man behind the counter is always chirpy and helps where he can. Any shop keeper with a great sense of humour and a smile always goes down well with me. In fact, last time I was here, the guy cut a key for my mate. When he handed it over the counter after an impressive 20 second wait for it to be cut, we saw that the key he'd cut said 'Pimp' on it, the man couldn't stop laughing, and neither could we. Easily pleased? Perhaps, but I wont forget him, or his shop!

I've been back several times now, to bring new life to old shoes, and I have to say that these…read morechaps are fantastic. En route to town, I dropped in my solid favourite heels to be fixed up, and was greeted by the ever friendly and welcoming guys that man the shop. I'm sure one of them must be Steve, and one day I might venture to ask which one, but on this occasion I wasn't so brave as to make introductions. It costs just over a fiver to get re-heeling done, and I've never been in without being able to collect the shoes about 30 minutes later. Basically, it gives you enough time to pop off for a coffee, take in the world, and pop back again before going about your day. Of course, if you need keys cut, and the various other cobbler odd jobs, they're ready to provide good service for that too. They're always smiling, they're cheap and cheerful, they're fantastic and I've them to thank for not having to buy new shoes. It's always a pleasure. Cash only, but as Hannah says, there's a cash machine right next door!

Steve's is probably the most traditional business in the whole of Headingley - amidst a sea of…read morestudent pubs, bars and modern delis, it stands proud, providing ye olde cobbling and keycutting services for anyone who so desires. The keycutting services are as fast as they are cheap (very) and on the two occasions I've needed a key cut here, I've had no problems with the finished product working in my doors. Can't say I've ever needed to have a shoe cobbled though. I'm a firm believer in the if-a-shoe's-broke-bin-it school of thought, so I can't comment on Steve's shoe skills, but I'd wager they're as professional as his key-cutting skills are.

I really wish I had read the reviews before booking this company…read more I called Tom to change the mech strip on my window. He told me the full service would be around £59 (discounted as I'm local), plus £30 for any parts and 20% VAT. He also said someone would arrive within 30 minutes. Someone did arrive and after briefly looking at the window, he said it couldn't be removed and suggested installing a sash jammer as a "temporary" solution. I refused because this would require drilling into the frame and permanently damaging it. I then contacted another company who said they would come out later as they had several jobs ahead. However, within an hour another person showed up at my house. I asked if he was Chris (from the second company), but he said his name was James, so I assumed he might be from the same company I had contacted earlier. He carried out a very poor quality repair and then charged £79 labour and £60 for parts -- a total of £166.80, which was far higher than what I had originally been quoted. He also asked to use my toilet and did so twice within a short period while at the property, which I personally found uncomfortable and unprofessional given the brief nature of the visit. Later that afternoon (around 3pm), Chris from the second company I contacted arrived, which made the whole situation even more confusing about who had actually carried out the earlier work. When I called Tom to clarify whether he had sent multiple people to my address, he was rude, dismissive, and hung up on me when I asked about his business details. I felt extremely uncomfortable and pressured by the situation. Because I was unsure who had attended my property and felt the pricing was misleading, I contacted my credit card provider to dispute the transaction. Only after I mentioned a chargeback did Tom briefly confirm he had done the job, but he remained unhelpful and unprofessional throughout. Overall, a very stressful experience with poor communication, unclear pricing, and extremely disappointing service. I have raised a dispute with my bank regarding the charges.

As long as my feet don't touch the ground and if I love the pair I will keep on wearing them (and there are even exceptions to this - so what if there's a hole in my favourite flats, I have tights on etc etc). The Village Cobbler is what you need when your black Zara peep toes are too bad for words, and you've already tried cellotaping them back together ... and you've got to get the train back to uni tomorrow. Oh, and could you just do them now? Thankyou thankyou thankyou. Obviously under normal circumstances there is a queue- a couple of days is usual. They cut keys here as well and sell all sorts of useful things like luggage etc. The only thing to defeat them was a small satchel bag that I completely murdered: my sister thought that she could salvage it (and thus take ownership of the poor thing). Alas, they needed the spring which I had carelessly dropped somewhere. Lesson learned. They are not miracle workers but they can fix and engrave most things.
