There are a number of locksmith businesses advertising on search engines and directories who have local telephone numbers and addresses. Unfortunately many of these businesses are not located anywhere near Colchester. We have come across two companies where a customer has rung a company thinking they were a local business and they have sent operatives from Cambridge and another from London.

In both cases the customers had a lengthy wait for the locksmith to arrive even though they were promised within the hour and both customers paid over 5 times as much we would have charged.
