Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you get to Forest Hill?

About 10-16 minutes from our base at 28 Berridge Road in Upper Norwood, over the hill and down the other side. You get an honest arrival window on the call, and we ring if traffic changes it.

Do the steep hillside streets slow you down?

Not meaningfully. The engineers know which of the Victorian streets have step approaches and long front paths, and the van is loaded before setting off so nothing needs a second trip back down the hill.

Do you charge a call-out fee in Forest Hill?

No. The price is agreed on the phone before an engineer sets off and it does not change when we arrive. If you would rather we left it alone once we have looked, you do not pay.

Can you come out at night in Forest Hill?

Yes. Lockouts near the Horniman and along the parade by the station are answered day or night. Roads are quieter after midnight, so late calls often beat the daytime window.

Can you replace broken glass in Forest Hill as well as the lock?

Yes. We are a glazier as well as a locksmith, so a forced or smashed door is boarded the same night and reglazed on a follow-up visit, with the lock work done at the same time rather than by a second trade.
