WHAT WE DO IN JESMOND
Jesmond has one of the highest concentrations of HMOs and private rental properties in Newcastle, driven by its proximity to the universities. That defines a large portion of what we do here. Landlord lock changes between tenancies are extremely common - when student tenants turn over annually, responsible landlords change the cylinders rather than assuming all key copies have come back. We do a lot of this work in Jesmond, particularly in the summer when tenancy changeovers happen in bulk.
Re-keying after key loss is another frequent Jesmond call-out. With large numbers of keyholders across multi-occupancy properties, key loss is a regular occurrence and re-keying or cylinder replacement is the right response.
The housing stock in Jesmond is predominantly Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many converted to flats or student houses. Older lock mechanisms are common - Yale-type rim locks on front doors, aging mortice deadlocks on inner doors, and communal entrance locks that have had minimal maintenance. We carry out upgrades from these older mechanisms to modern anti-snap euro cylinders and BS3621 mortice deadlocks regularly.
Emergency lockouts are a consistent call - residents locked out at any hour, students who have lost their key. We cover these 24 hours a day.
If you are a landlord or letting agent managing multiple Jesmond properties, it is worth calling us to discuss how we handle repeat trade arrangements.
