Frequently Asked Questions — Shrewsbury
-
Where are your nearest engineers based?
We have engineers covering Shrewsbury town centre, Telford, Oswestry and Whitchurch. The closest van is dispatched on every call, usually 18 to 25 minutes away.
-
Are you a local locksmith or a national call centre?
Bit of both, honestly. The phone line is staffed nationally so you always get a human. The engineer who turns up is a local, working the SY postcodes day in day out.
-
Do you cover outlying SY postcodes?
Yes. SY1 through SY13. Ludlow and the Welsh Marches villages take a bit longer in the evening but we still attend.
-
Can you come out tonight?
Yes. 24 hours, 365 days. Christmas Eve, New Year's Day, the lot.
-
How do I know your engineer is genuine?
ID badge on arrival, marked van, named engineer confirmed when you phone. We'll text you a name and ETA before they leave.
-
Do you do free quotes?
Phone quotes are free and binding. We tell you the price before the engineer leaves the depot, and that's the price you pay.
-
What if I'm not in Shrewsbury but nearby?
Phone anyway. Telford, Oswestry, Whitchurch, Ludlow are covered by the same team.

Key snapped flush in the mortice on our period terrace. Tried tweezers, glue, everything. Engineer had it out in two minutes flat with a proper extractor tool. £69 well spent.
