A locksmith who knows Colchester
Colchester locksmith work covers a town with a long memory and a very mixed housing stock. Victorian terraces near the Dutch Quarter sit not far from former garrison housing, student lets around Greenstead and newer estates in Stanway and Myland. Whatever the door, the phone line is open 24 hours, and the quote is free before an engineer is sent.
Our cover runs across all sixteen CO districts, from the town centre and Lexden out to Wivenhoe, Tiptree, Coggeshall, Halstead and Sudbury, and along the coast to Clacton-on-Sea, Frinton and Harwich. There is no callout fee if you go ahead, a fully insured engineer typically arrives in 15 to 20 minutes, parts we fit carry a 12-month guarantee, and the price is confirmed with you before any work starts.
Student lets around Greenstead and Wivenhoe change tenants regularly, so landlords and agents often ask for locks to be changed or re-keyed between tenancies.
