Frequently Asked Questions — Gloucester
-
How fast can you reach me?
Across GL1 to GL4 the typical arrival is 20 to 28 minutes day or night. Slightly longer for outlying areas like Tewkesbury or Cirencester.
-
What does an out-of-hours call-out cost?
After 10pm, weekends and bank holidays the rate is £79 to £99 fixed. Daytime call-outs are £49 to £79.
-
Will you damage my door?
Most lockouts are non-destructive, meaning your existing lock keeps working. Drilling is a last resort and the cylinder is replaced as part of the job if needed.
-
I have a child locked inside. Can you prioritise?
Yes. Calls involving a child or pet trapped inside are dispatched immediately, ahead of the normal queue.
-
Can you attend Cheltenham as well as Gloucester?
Yes. The same engineers cover both, with overlap into Stroud and Tewkesbury overnight.
-
What payment methods do you accept on call-outs?
Card on the engineer's terminal, contactless, bank transfer or cash. Itemised invoice issued before the engineer leaves.
