Frequently Asked Questions — Chester
-
I'm locked out in Chester, how soon can someone come?
Phone is answered in under 30 seconds, engineer dispatched within 5 minutes. Typical CH1 to CH4 arrival is 15 to 20 minutes.
-
Will the door be damaged?
Around 95% of jobs use non-destructive picking and bypass methods. Drilling is a last resort, only with your permission.
-
I'm in a rural CH8 location, how long?
Calls from outside the main built-up area typically see 25 to 40 minute response. The dispatcher gives a realistic ETA before sending an engineer.
-
Do you charge a premium for night and weekend calls?
Out-of-hours rate runs 8pm to 7am and weekends. Quoted in full on the phone before booking, no doorstep adjustments.
-
What if I can't prove it's my property right now?
Photo ID matching the address is the simplest. Otherwise we can call a key-holder, letting agent, or check a utility bill once we're inside.
-
I've lost my keys, do I need to change the locks?
Recommended yes. Keys lost outside could end up in someone's hand who knows where you live. A simple cylinder swap costs less than the worry.
-
Will I be charged if I cancel?
No charge if cancelled before the engineer leaves the depot. Once en route, a small travel charge applies.
Have a different question? Just call.
