Frequently Asked Questions — Stevenage
-
What does a lockout cost in Stevenage?
Daytime £49 to £69. Out-of-hours £69 to £89. Multipoint uPVC tends to sit at the higher end because the bypass is fiddlier.
-
How quickly do you reach me?
From SG1 town centre, 14 to 20 minutes typical. Outer SG2 estates and the wider Hitchin or Letchworth areas add five to ten.
-
Will my uPVC door survive the entry?
Most of the time yes. Bypass takes ten to fifteen minutes without damage. Drilling only when the gearbox has failed mid-cycle.
-
Yale night latch on an Old Town terrace, will that pick clean?
Yes. Standard Yale rim cylinders pick almost every time without a mark.
-
I've left a child or pet inside. Faster?
Yes. Children, pets, hob left on, anything safety-critical and the closest engineer moves immediately. Phone the moment you realise.
-
Card or cash?
Either. Engineers carry card readers. No surcharge for either method.
-
Will I need to show ID?
Once inside, anything in your name with the address. Driving licence, recent post, council tax. Standard safeguard against rogue use.
