Questions
Spare Car Key in Chelmsford — the usual questions
How quickly can you get to Chelmsford?
Chelmsford is about 40 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 spare car key cost in Chelmsford?
Spare Car Key starts at £139. 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 Chelmsford postcodes do you cover?
CM1, CM2, CM3 and everything between them. City-centre flats mean communal fob and door-entry work stacked on top of domestic lock changes — usually worth doing both in one visit.
How long does the job take?
45–75 min. Key cut to your lock, not just the blank.
