What's the cost of a lockout in southeast London?

Daytime £49 to £69. Out-of-hours £69 to £89. Multipoint uPVC sits at the higher end.

How quickly do you get to me?

From inner SE addresses, typically 14 to 20 minutes. Outer SE around Eltham or Bromley adds another ten.

Will my Yale night latch survive?

Yes. Standard Yale rim latches pick clean almost every time. No mark on the door.

What about uPVC doors with multipoint locks?

Bypass takes longer, ten to fifteen minutes, but no damage. Drilling only when the gearbox has failed mid-cycle and there's no other route.

I'm in a flat above a shop, is that a problem?

No. We do plenty of work above the takeaways and high-street shops on Peckham High Street, Lewisham High Street, Bermondsey Street. Communal entry doors are standard work.

What ID will you ask for?

Once you're inside, anything in your name with the address. Driving licence, recent post, council tax bill. It's a basic safeguard.

Can you take card payment?

Yes, every engineer carries a card reader. Cash also fine. No surcharge.
