A lot of houses near the river have old timber doors that swell and stick. Can you still work on locks when the door won't close properly?

Yes, and we see it regularly in Hampton. We can adjust the latch or lock position to compensate for the movement, and we'll tell you honestly if the door itself needs a carpenter's attention before a new lock will sit right. We won't just fit a cylinder and leave you with a door that still doesn't shut flush.

Hampton sits in TW12, about four miles from central Richmond, and it's a mixed bag of housing that keeps us busy. You've got Victorian and Edwardian terraces closer to the village centre, post-war semis spreading out towards Hampton Hill, and a decent spread of 1970s and 1980s detached and semi-detached houses on the quieter residential streets. We get called out here for everything from front-door lockouts to cylinder upgrades on older timber frames. Drive time from our Richmond base is usually 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic through Twickenham.

Station Road and Percy Road see a lot of our callouts, and the streets around Hampton village green have some lovely but ageing Victorian stock where the door furniture hasn't been touched in decades. We come in via the A316 then cut through Twickenham Road or Uxbridge Road depending on where we're headed. Hampton's proximity to the Thames means some properties have swollen timber doors that stick and cause no end of grief, and a surprising number of houses still have original mortice locks that offer very little real security.

Hampton FAQ

It can during peak hours, particularly on the A316 and through Twickenham Road. If you're calling during the morning or late afternoon rush, we'll usually route around via Hampton Road to keep the journey closer to 20 minutes rather than letting it creep up. Out of peak hours we're reliably with you in 15-18 minutes.
