We have run vans out of Crawley since 2014, covering Crawley and the surrounding RH10 and RH11 postcodes. Average arrival here is 27 min average, and the price is fixed before we set off.
Crawley is our home patch, and it is the reason the response time on this page is the one we quote everywhere else. The base sits on Manor Royal, which puts a van within a few minutes of Northgate, Three Bridges and the town centre, and inside twenty of almost every RH10 and RH11 address.
The work here splits three ways. There is the County Mall and Boulevard car park lockout, usually mid-afternoon, usually keys visible on the driver’s seat. There is the Three Bridges commuter who gets back from London at eleven at night to find the fob dead in their coat pocket. And there is Manor Royal itself — vans, fleet vehicles and courier cars where a lost key stops someone earning the next morning, so those get treated as urgent whatever the hour.
The one genuinely awkward corner is the southern edge of RH11 towards Pease Pottage and Broadfield, where the estates are spread out and the roads wind. Add five to ten minutes there compared with a town-centre call. We would rather say that than quote you a flat number we then miss.
A small team covers this patch. You get one of them by name in your ETA text — with a photo, so you know who is walking up to your car at midnight.
Build note: replace with the real team, real photos and real certifications before launch. Named, verifiable technicians are the strongest trust signal on this page.
Crawley sits in our inner ring — 0–8 miles from the Crawley base — so the typical arrival is 27 min average. No mileage charge, day or night. You get a live ETA by text once a technician is assigned, and if we are running behind you hear it from us rather than having to chase.
RH10 and RH11 across Crawley, West Sussex, plus the surrounding villages. If your postcode sits just outside, ring anyway — we quote any mileage honestly before setting off rather than adding it to the bill afterwards.
Yes. The van carries key blanks, cutting equipment and the diagnostic kit to pair a new key to your immobiliser, so the work happens wherever the car is standing in Crawley. You will need photo ID and the V5C — we verify ownership on every job without exception.
No. The rate is the same at 3am on a Sunday as at 3pm on a Tuesday, bank holidays included, and there is no call-out fee anywhere in this coverage ring.
We cover Gatwick Airport, Horley, Copthorne and the roads between them on the same terms, so being a few miles out rarely changes the price. Tell the dispatcher the nearest road or postcode and you will get a straight answer about timing before you commit.
A dispatcher picks up in under 20 seconds, day or night.
