Why choose us
Why Ipswich
chooses us
Ipswich's housing ranges from Victorian brick terraced houses in the town centre and Westgate to Edwardian semi-detached in Rushmere and Whitton — our engineers know the lock types common to each. Issues like euro cylinder snap vulnerability on new-build estates in Ravenswood and Chantry and UPVC multipoint gearbox failure on 1990s refurbished council properties in Whitehouse come up regularly here, and our engineers arrive ready to handle them. Ipswich is reached via the A12 and A14, which our engineers use as the primary routes into the town. The Orwell Bridge on the A14 is the critical southern approach — in the event of bridge closure our engineers reroute via the A137 Manningtree road. Coverage across all IP postcode sectors is maintained within the quoted ETA. Ipswich town centre has pay-and-display surface car parks and multi-storey options near the Tavern Street area and Crown Street. The Victorian terrace streets around Westgate and St Helen's have on-street parking, sometimes restricted near the hospital. New-build estate areas such as Ravenswood have driveways and unrestricted kerb parking. Fixed price before we start. If we can't fix it, you don't pay.
