- You've reported it and need to secure the home before the insurer's assessment.
- Keys went missing during the break-in: the cylinder needs replacing, not just repairing.

How a call-out works
- 1
You call or message
Describe the door and the situation. On the phone, or in writing on WhatsApp, you get the price of the job and a realistic arrival time for your street — not an unverifiable promise.
- 2
The tradesperson comes and assesses
On site they check the lock type and the state of the door, confirm the least destructive method available, and have the amount agreed before touching anything.
- 3
Work, invoice and guarantee
The job is done, tested in front of you, and billed at the agreed amount. The invoice itemises hardware and labour — the document your insurer or landlord will ask for.
Guarantee
This work is covered by our guarantee on installations. Exact terms and duration are given with your written quote. We are qualified and insured for this service.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do first after a break-in?
Report it to the police and file a complaint, then contact a locksmith to secure the property. If possible, avoid cleaning the area before the police have been.
Can the locksmith help with my insurance?
They can provide a detailed quote and an invoice — the documents insurers generally ask for when handling a claim.
