I contacted the Emergency Locksmith 24 and they were extremely helpful right from the start. They provided me with a quick appointment and showed up on time ready to do the job. They were incredibly skilled and knowledgeable and finished the job quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend this locksmith company.
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.
Needed someone quickly when the back gate lock rusted solid near the nature reserve path. He came out to Cold Ash, sorted it without drama, and left the frame tidier than he'd found it.
We're on one of the newer estates off East Fields and the multipoint mechanism on the front door stopped lifting the bolts properly, so it wouldn't lock at night. He diagnosed it fast, had the right parts with him, and explained what had failed. Would call him again without thinking twice.
Bought an older place out towards Donnington with locks that hadn't been touched in decades. Got straightforward advice on what genuinely needed replacing rather than a full upsell, and everything works properly now.

FAQ
Looking for a reliable locksmith near me in Thatcham? 24-hour, same-day emergency locksmith service
Thatcham lies in the Kennet valley just east of Newbury, and it lays claim to being lived in without a break for longer than almost anywhere in the country - people have been living on this stretch of the river for thousands of years. The old market ground still sits at the heart of town, with the nature reserve's reedbeds and lakes running along one edge and newer housing spreading out around East Fields, Ham Marsh and Greenham on the other. Speenhamland's older streets sit closer to Newbury, Cold Ash climbs the hill to the north, and Brimpton, Bucklebury and Donnington are the villages further out we get to without any fuss. Across Thatcham the arrival window is 15 to 30 minutes. If a job overruns and pushes yours back, we ring you rather than leave you wondering. Expect £39 for labour plus the lock itself, which starts at £25 and is always quoted with the fitting included. Every lock we fit is covered for 12 months, parts and labour both. Before anyone works under our name they pass a DBS check and are put on the firm's insurance.
Our local locksmith network reaches every part of Thatcham and the wider RG postcode area, including surrounding neighbourhoods such as Berkshire, Cold Ash, Ham Marsh, Greenham, East Fields. From the city centre out to the edges of the RG14-RG19 range, engineers are positioned to respond inside the 15–30 minute window we promise.

Our Thatcham 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.
