What counts as an emergency
A snapped key on the Barbican, a back door that will not lock in Whitleigh or a latch that fails on a cottage in Looe can happen at any hour. The line is open 24 hours with no callout fee if you go ahead, and a quote is given free on the phone.
Being locked out, a lock that will not open or will not lock, a key snapped in the door, or a door damaged in a break-in. If you cannot get in, or cannot leave the house secure, it is an emergency and we treat it as one.
Day or night, including weekends and bank holidays, the price is the same. You get a quote on the phone, the nearest engineer drives to you in Plymouth and confirms the price before starting, and you pay when the door is working again.
