Do you charge a call-out fee?
Absolutely not. We have a strict £0 call-out fee policy. The competitive local price we quote you over the phone is the exact fixed price you pay on completion. There are never any hidden charges or surprise mileage rates.
Will you damage my lock or door to get me back in?
No. We prioritize non-destructive entry methods above everything else. Lee utilizes advanced lock picking, decoding, and bypass tools to gain access completely clean, saving you the expense of buying replacement hardware.

Yes, we are fully insured and DBS checked to the highest standards. More importantly, Lee's absolute integrity is backed by nearly 20 years of dedicated public service with the Lancashire Constabulary. Your security is in completely safe hands.
