Frequently Asked Questions — Ely
-
How quickly can a locksmith reach me in Ely?
For most CB6 and CB7 addresses we aim to be with you within 15 to 25 minutes. Our locksmiths cover Ely from the Cambridge side, so whether you are near the Cathedral, the market square, the riverside or out towards Witchford, help is rarely far away.
-
Do you cover the older period properties in Ely's historic centre?
Yes. Ely's centre has plenty of period cottages and townhouses around the Cathedral and along the Gallery with older timber doors and traditional mortice locks, alongside newer estates on the edge of the city. We carry parts for both, so we can pick a jammed rim lock on a Victorian door or refit a modern euro cylinder on a recent build without needing a second visit.
-
Are your Ely locksmiths DBS checked and insured?
Every locksmith we send to Ely is DBS checked and covered by £2m public liability insurance. You will be dealt with by a vetted professional who carries ID, which matters when you are letting someone work on the locks of your home or business.
-
How much does it cost to replace a lock in Ely?
For a standard lock swap you are typically looking at £89 to £129 for a TS007 3-star euro cylinder, supplied and fitted. We confirm the price before we start any work, so there are no surprises once the job is done.
-
Which towns around Ely do you cover?
As well as Ely itself we regularly work across the surrounding CB6 and CB7 area, including Soham, Littleport, Sutton and Witchford, plus the smaller Fenland villages in between. If you are just outside the city, call us and we will confirm we can reach you.
What Our Customers Say
-
Locked myself out near the Cathedral after the market and rang in a bit of a panic. The locksmith was with me inside twenty minutes and had the door open without any damage. Fair £75 and very reassuring.
-
Snapped key in the back door of our cottage in Soham. Old lock, but he had it changed and gave us new keys the same afternoon. £115 all in and spotless work.
-
Our uPVC front door stopped locking properly and the mechanism had failed. He replaced the gearbox and adjusted the door so it shuts perfectly now. Came out to Littleport the same day, £145 and worth every penny. Explained exactly what had gone wrong and did not try to sell me a whole new door like the last company tried to.
-
After a break-in attempt on our riverside flat the door frame was a mess. They boarded up, fitted a new anti-snap cylinder and made the place secure the same evening. £245 for the lot and I finally slept properly.
-
Wanted the old locks upgraded on our new place out towards Witchford. Quick, tidy and friendly, sorted three doors for £190. Would use again.
