Frequently Asked Questions — Southwest London
-
What's a southwest London lockout cost?
Daytime £49 to £69. Out-of-hours £69 to £89. Multipoint uPVC at the higher end because the bypass is fiddlier.
-
Reach me from Clapham or Battersea quickly?
From inner SW addresses, typically 14 to 20 minutes. Outer SW around Wimbledon or Earlsfield adds another ten.
-
Yale night latch on a converted flat, will it survive?
Yes. Standard Yale rim latches pick clean almost every time. No mark on the door.
-
uPVC door with multipoint, can you bypass it?
Most of the time. Bypass takes ten to fifteen minutes. Drilling only when the gearbox has failed mid-cycle.
-
I'm in a flat above a shop on Clapham High Street, problem?
No. Communal entry doors and flat doors are routine work. Several Northcote Road and Battersea Rise businesses have us on call.
-
What ID is needed?
Once inside, anything in your name with the address. Driving licence, recent post, council tax. Standard safeguard.
-
Card payment available?
Yes, every engineer carries a card reader. Cash also fine. No surcharge.
