Keys4U are NOT Callow Lock / Key Smith

Dear All


A dear friend and business colleague was burgled last night on North Cross Road....Carolina at Stella C.


Anyway, after calling what she believed to be Callow locksmith, she had a locksmith turn up from keys4U! They charged her ?175.00 for a lock change, ?59.00 call out plus vat. We managed to negotiate this to ?190.00 inc vat.


I guess what I am trying to advise is that in a state of upset and panic, although she googled Callow, our local locksmith, the first listing was not Callow!


Should you be in a state of panic then, without being linked financially or romantically (apart from I love their helpfulness) to the company at all, their number is 020 8299 4737


I hope this helps if anyone else is in the same awful situation

(Also, Callow charged much much much less!)

Similar happened to me although with a different lock smith.

I'm not saying this happened here, but in my case the work was licensed out by the locksmith to a local carpenter for a fee. The carpenter was annoyed as I could just have easily rung him and he would have got the whole fee.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
