Lock Change in Basildon — the usual questions
How quickly can you get to Basildon?
Basildon is about 55 min from Colchester, so I'll be straight with you: this is booked work rather than a twenty-minute emergency response. If it's urgent tonight you'll be better served by someone closer, and I'll tell you that when I ring back. For planned jobs and trade work I come out happily.
What does lock change cost in Basildon?
Lock Change starts at £120. The £65 call-out is waived on any job I go ahead with, and out of hours carries a 50% uplift. You get a firm price before I start.
Which Basildon postcodes do you cover?
SS13, SS14, SS15, SS16 and everything between them. Consistent estate housing, which means I usually know which cylinder you've got before I pull up. Booked work only — for a 3am lockout you want someone closer.
