How fast does an emergency locksmith get to Bath addresses?

Typical response inside the BA1 and BA2 ring is 15 to 20 minutes. Outlying areas like Radstock, Frome, or Bradford-on-Avon usually see a van within 25 to 35 minutes depending on time of day.

Is there a premium for late-night call-outs?

No night surcharge. The rate quoted at 2am is the same as the rate at 2pm.

What if I am locked out with kids or a pet inside?

Tell the dispatcher when you call 0800 048 5569. Those jobs go to the front of the queue and the nearest engineer is sent immediately.

Can you help if my front door has been kicked in?

Yes, we attend forced-entry call-outs across Bath day or night. We board up first if the frame is damaged, then come back with materials for full repair the next day.

Will you really be there in 20 minutes or is that marketing?

It is the average, not a promise. On a quiet Tuesday afternoon you might see 12 minutes. On a busy Saturday night out from the city centre it can stretch to 30. The dispatcher will give you a real ETA when you call.

Do I need to prove the property is mine?

Yes, before we open the door. Photo ID matching the address is ideal. If you have just moved in, a tenancy agreement or recent bill works fine.

What payment options are there in an emergency?

Card, contactless, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or cash. Payment is taken once the job is finished, never up front.

Snapped my house key off in the porch lock at 6pm. Engineer fished it out with proper tools in fifteen minutes, no damage to the cylinder.

Front door wouldn't shut after attempted forced entry on our flat off Walcot Street. Came out within the hour, sorted the frame, fitted new cylinder and a hinge bolt. Felt safe enough to sleep.
