ℹ️

How our pricing works

All jobs are made up of two parts: labour and parts (where a replacement is needed). We give you the full cost before starting — you decide whether to go ahead. Nothing is fitted or charged for without your agreement first.

🔓

Labour

Charged per hour — minimum one hour applies to all jobs

Labour rateMinimum charge is one hour. After the first hour, time is rounded to the nearest 30 minutes.
£65 / hr
Typical job times — for guidance only
Euro cylinder change~1 hour
Rim cylinder change~1 hour
Mortice lock change~2 hours
Nightlatch replacement~2 hours

Job times are estimates for straightforward installations on standard doors. If complications arise we will let you know before continuing and confirm any change to the cost.
