Frequently Asked Questions — Hereford

  • How fast can someone reach me?

    Across HR postcodes the typical arrival is 22 to 30 minutes. Slightly longer for rural addresses out toward the Welsh border or the Black Mountains.

  • What's the night and weekend rate?

    After 10pm and weekends the call-out is £79 to £99 fixed. Daytime rate is £39 to £79.

  • Will the door be damaged?

    Most lockouts are non-destructive. Drilling is a last resort and the cylinder is replaced as part of the job if needed.

  • Can you prioritise if a child or pet is locked inside?

    Yes. Calls involving someone trapped inside are dispatched immediately, ahead of routine queue.

  • Do you cover rural properties between towns?

    Yes. Farms, hamlets and isolated cottages are all attended. Response is longer than in town but engineers are equipped for rural call-outs.

  • How do I pay?

    Card on the engineer's terminal, contactless, bank transfer or cash. Itemised invoice on the spot.

  • How do I reach the emergency line?

    Call 0330 179 6077. Live dispatch 24/7 every day of the year, never an answerphone.
