What people ask before they book
How quickly can you get to me in Barnet?
We don't quote a fixed response time because traffic across North London varies. Call 020 3780 8827 and John will tell you where he is and give you a realistic estimate before he sets off.
Do you cover Cockfosters, Southgate, and the surrounding areas?
Yes — we cover Barnet, New Barnet, East Barnet, Cockfosters, Oakwood, Southgate, Whetstone, Hadley Wood, Monken Hadley, Grange Park, Oakleigh Park, Friary Park, Woodside Park, North Finchley, Mill Hill, and Arkley.
Will you have to drill my lock?
Not unless it's the only option. Non-destructive entry is always attempted first — picking or manipulating the lock means it can often be reused. Drilling is a last resort, used only when the lock type or damage makes picking impossible. You're told which method is needed before the price is agreed.
What if the frame or door is damaged from a break-in?
We can make the property secure as a first step — replacing the lock, repairing the frame, or fitting a temporary fix — so you're not left with an unsecured door overnight. Full burglary repairs run from £99 to £386 depending on the damage.
“Locked out at half eleven at night outside my flat in Cockfosters. John was there in twenty minutes flat, had the door open without drilling it, charged exactly what he quoted on the phone.”
“Snapped my key off in the lock on a Sunday morning. Expected a fortune for a weekend call-out. Got a flat price up front and he stuck to it.”
