Fantastic, can't fault anything. I called about a broken front door lock, and they were out and had it fixed within the hour. Very pleased, thank you,
Excellent service thanks for getting back to me immediately and calling out so quickly. Definitely recommend your services
Fast, courteous and professional. Would recommend and use again.
Just moved into a rented flat over toward Waterside and managed to lock myself out on day one with no spare cut. Rang round and this lot came out, got me back in without damage and cut me a couple of keys on the spot. Friendly and no fuss the whole time.
Bought a place out at Barton and wanted the barrels changed before we moved the kids in, no idea who still had keys from before. Booked the morning, swapped the lot and talked me through which met the British Standard. Tidy work, fair bill, no drama.
Our uPVC back door had been stiff for a while and one night it stopped lifting to lock entirely. The mechanism inside the edge had worn through. He carried the part he needed and had it locking again before he left. Turns smoother now than it has in ages.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Ely? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Ely sits on its own Fen island, and the cathedral they call the Ship of the Fens carries for miles across the flat land. We work the older Georgian streets near the cathedral and Oliver Cromwell's House, along Waterside where the Great Ouse once ran a working port, and out through the later estates at Barton and Springhead. West Fen keeps us busy as well. Prickwillow and Queen Adelaide sit a few minutes out toward the Fen edge, and we cover them the same as the core. Most of what we get called to here is a lockout, a jammed door, or a set of locks changed after a move. Response in Ely runs at 15 to 30 minutes on a normal day. On an abnormal one, you will know, because we tell you when you call. We keep it to two figures. Labour is £39, and a lock from £25 arrives with its fitting cost already inside the quote. There is a 12-month warranty on the job, and it does not split hairs between parts and labour. Both are in. We background-check with DBS and we insure the work, so the person in your hallway is accountable twice over.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of Ely and the wider CB postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as Cambridgeshire, West Fen, Waterside, Barton, Springhead. From the city centre out to the edges of the CB7 range, engineers are positioned to respond inside the 15–30 minute window we promise.
Labour starts from £39, locks from £25, and every job comes with a 12-month parts-and-workmanship warranty — no call-out fee, no hidden extras.
Moved into a new property in Ely? Worried the previous owner kept a spare key? Lock replacement is a sensible, affordable upgrade. Our engineers fit British Standard BS3621 mortice locks and insurance-approved anti-snap cylinders across the CB postcode area, suiting modern uPVC doors and older period properties alike.
If your existing lock is sticking, stiff, or starting to fail, a quick repair visit usually restores it without a full replacement — keeping costs down while keeping security intact.
Locked out of your home, office, or vehicle anywhere in Ely? Our 24/7 emergency locksmith dispatch sends the nearest available engineer immediately. Most lockouts are resolved using non-destructive entry techniques, so your existing lock stays intact and your bill stays low.
Lost keys? Snapped key in the cylinder? Our team handles key extraction, replacement key cutting, and full rekeying on the same visit — anywhere across the CB postcode area.
uPVC doors fail in three common ways: the gearbox wears out, the handle snaps, or the multipoint mechanism jams. Our Ely engineers carry replacement gearboxes, handles, hinges, and cylinders for every major brand on every van — meaning most uPVC faults are diagnosed and repaired on the same call-out, with no second visit needed.
uPVC repairs start from £79, and emergency uPVC entries from £39, with the exact fixed price quoted before any work begins.
Every engineer is fully trained, DBS-checked, and insured. We don't subcontract — every van you see is on our team, on our payroll, and accountable to the same 12-month warranty. That's how we keep response times tight and quality consistent across Ely and the surrounding Cambridgeshire area.
