Where is your nearest engineer?

Engineers are positioned across central Torquay, the Babbacombe side, and the Paignton fringe. Most TQ jobs see someone on the doorstep in 18 to 25 minutes.

Are you really local or a national line?

Dispatch is national, the engineers live locally. The person turning up to your address knows the TQ road network and the seasonal traffic patterns on the seafront.

Can someone reach me within an hour?

Almost always yes, often inside 30 minutes. Summer holiday traffic on the A380 or harbourside congestion can stretch it. Honest ETA on the call, no salesy pitch.

Do you cover Paignton and Newton Abbot?

Both routine territory. Teignmouth and the Exeter fringe are also covered with a slightly longer drive. Rural Devon villages around Maidencombe add a few minutes.

What about holiday let owners managing multiple properties?

Common request, especially during changeovers. We can keyed-alike multiple cylinders so one master fits multiple let properties. Worth booking ahead of the summer season.

Will the address be confirmed before dispatch?

Yes, postcode read back, parking access checked. Some seafront streets and steep cliff lanes need a small van, so we plan the approach during the booking call.

Will the engineer have ID?

Photo ID and a uniform with company name on every callout. Ask before opening the door, especially after dark or for holiday guests who don't know us.

What Our Customers Say

1am call after a night out on the harbour, locked out of the flat. Engineer didn't lecture, just got me inside. £49 callout actually meant £49.

Going through a separation, every lock changed in one quiet visit. Five cylinders and two nightlatches in just over two hours. Discreet and professional.

Maxine D. Lock change
Returned from a weekend in Exeter to find our holiday let near Paignton with a damaged door from a forced-entry attempt. Boarded same evening, full lock change next morning. Insurance paid out fast.

Greg V. Burglary repair
Key broke off flush in the back gate cylinder one wet evening. Extracted, regreased, new euro fitted in under 30 minutes. £79.
