How Much Does a Locksmith Cost in Staines-upon-Thames?
My locksmith prices in Staines-upon-Thames and surrounding areas start from £89 for labour during standard hours. There’s no VAT and no call-out fee.
I’m Manuel, an independent locksmith based at 154B Chertsey Lane, Staines-upon-Thames (TW18 3LS), covering the town and surrounding areas. Before any work starts, I agree on a fixed price with you so there are no surprises later. Parts are always quoted separately, and I’ll walk you through your options and their costs before you decide.
Locksmith pricing shouldn’t be a mystery — that’s the whole reason this page exists.
| Service Time | Labour Price |
| Standard Hours (8:00 AM – 6:00 PM) | £89 |
| Evening Service (6:00 PM – 10:00 PM) | £99 |
| Night Service (10:00 PM – 8:00 AM) | £150 |
| Weekends & Bank Holidays | From £99 |
These prices cover labour, time and expertise for a standard call-out.
Your final price may be higher if the job involves more than one door, a new mortice lock installation, or work that takes significantly longer than an hour. If that’s the case, I’ll explain why and agree to the revised price with you before starting any work — never after.

How to Choose a Locksmith With Confidence
- Check independent reviews for a consistent, genuine local reputation
- Ask for the complete call-out price before booking an appointment
- Confirm what’s included in the quote and ask about possible extra charges
- Ask about the proposed work before authorising any repair or replacement
- Never feel pressured into work you don’t understand or think is necessary
⚠️ Beware of Misleading “£39–£49 Locksmith” Adverts
If you lock yourself out or run into a broken lock, you’ll naturally search for the fastest, cheapest option. But be cautious of adverts promoting unusually low £39–£49 call-out prices.
A low headline price doesn’t always reflect the final cost. In some cases, the locksmith adds extra charges for attendance, labour, parts or “emergency” work once they arrive — or after you’ve already committed. Call centres run some of these adverts and dispatch whichever locksmith is nearest, regardless of area or reputation, so “local” isn’t always what it seems.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a locksmith cost in Staines-upon-Thames?
Labour starts from £89 during standard daytime hours (8 am–6 pm), with no VAT and no call-out fee. Rates rise slightly in the evening and further overnight or at weekends. Whatever the time, you’ll always agree a fixed price before work starts.
Do locksmiths charge more at night?
Yes — night call-outs (10 pm–8 am) usually cost more than daytime visits, since the job falls outside standard hours. Evening and weekend rates sit somewhere in between. Check the pricing table above for exact figures.
Is there a call-out fee if I don’t go ahead with the work?
No. Quoted prices carry no call-out fee and no VAT. You only pay the price we agree, for work actually carried out.
Why are some locksmith adverts so much cheaper?
Adverts quoting £39–£49 rarely reflect the final bill. Once the locksmith arrives, extra charges for parts, labour, or “emergency” attendance may apply. Confirming the full price before booking protects you from that.
