Ingatestone sits on the old London road between Chelmsford and Brentwood, with its own station on the main line. We cover CM4 for lockouts, lock changes and uPVC door repairs.
No call out fee — you only pay for the work, from £69
No call out charge in our primary Essex areas.
We cover CM4 — Ingatestone and Fryerning, with Mill Green, Margaretting and Buttsbury on the doorstep, and Stock and Blackmore a few miles out.
Ingatestone is an old village and the High Street shows it: a conservation area with timber-framed and Georgian frontages, and Ingatestone Hall, the Tudor house built for Sir William Petre, just outside the centre. Property of that age usually means timber doors with mortice locks and traditional rim hardware, often needing a close match rather than the nearest part off a shelf. Around the edges of the village, and in the closes built over the last few decades, it is the more familiar mix of uPVC and composite doors on multipoint mechanisms.
The two ends of that need different work. On older houses it is mortice locks, British Standard upgrades for insurance, and locks on side gates and outbuildings; on the newer ones it is uPVC repairs and cylinder changes. Across both, people who have just moved in want the locks changed, and commuters using Ingatestone station are the ones most likely to find themselves locked out at either end of the day.
Ingatestone is covered from our base in Chelmsford, a short run down the A12. When you call, we confirm an arrival time and explain the likely cost before setting off.

Our focus is doors and locks, which matters in a village where a Georgian timber door and a modern composite one can be two streets apart.
One insured, DBS-checked engineer does the job from start to finish, so you are not left waiting on a subcontractor sent by somebody else.
The likely cost is explained before work begins, and nothing is added to it once we are inside.
Most lockouts can be opened without drilling, which matters on an original timber door you would not want cut about.
