Emergency Locksmith
Our 24/7 emergency locksmith service provides rapid response for lockouts, broken locks, and security breaches. Engineers carry extensive lock inventories to resolve most issues during the first visit. Services include lock replacement, safe installation, and burglary repair, all performed by CRB-checked professionals. We prioritise property security while minimising disruption for domestic and commercial clients.
Glazing Repairs
We offer immediate glazing repairs for shattered windows, doors, and commercial shopfronts. Our vans stock various glass types including laminated, fire-rated, and double-glazed units. Qualified glaziers complete repairs or replacements on-site, with boarding solutions available for urgent security. Services meet British and European safety standards for both residential and business premises.
Key Cutting
Specialist key-cutting services cover residential, commercial, and automotive needs. Using computerised equipment, we duplicate standard and transponder keys by manufacturer codes. Our inventory includes over 3,500 key types, with options for vintage vehicles and modern chipped keys. A free local delivery service supports convenience for customers requiring urgent replacements.
Security Surveys
Professional security surveys evaluate property vulnerabilities for insurance compliance and crime prevention. We recommend tailored upgrades to locks, lighting, and access control systems. This service helps maintain insurance validity while enhancing overall property safety for homeowners and businesses through expert risk mitigation strategies.
Boarding Services
Temporary boarding solutions secure properties after break-ins, storms, or structural damage. We install weatherproof boards for windows and buildings 24 hours a day. This service prevents further damage while maintaining security until permanent repairs can be completed, suitable for both domestic and large commercial sites.
