Tim Francis — your Hillingdon & Uxbridge locksmith
I'm based in Great Missenden in Buckinghamshire and cover Hillingdon and Uxbridge regularly, coming in via the A413 and the M40 for both emergency call-outs and planned security work.
Uxbridge is a busy town with a genuinely mixed picture: a large commercial and retail centre, a significant student and rental population around Brunel University and Cowley, Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the town centre, and suburban family housing spreading out through Hillingdon and Ickenham. Out toward Denham and Harefield in UB9 it turns semi-rural, with larger and older properties along the Grand Union Canal. Each of those needs a different approach, and I carry the stock for all of them.
When you call 07966 233092, I answer personally. The price I quote on the phone is the price on the invoice.

- Covers Hillingdon, Uxbridge, Cowley, Ickenham, Denham and Harefield

"Locked out of my flat near Uxbridge town centre late evening. Tim quoted me on the phone, arrived when he said, and got me back in with no damage. No inflated late-night price like the last lot I called. Recommended."
"We manage several student lets near Brunel and Tim handles all our tenancy-changeover lock changes. Reliable, quick, and he completes them on one visit so we're not left with empty properties unsecured. Excellent to deal with."
"Our uPVC front door in Ickenham dropped and wouldn't lock. Tim had the mechanism on the van and fixed it the same afternoon rather than telling us we needed a new door. Honest and fairly priced."
The area's housing — what Tim knows
🏠 Uxbridge Town & Cowley — UB8
The urban core: Victorian and Edwardian terraces, town-centre flats and canal-side apartments, plus a large student and rental population around Brunel University and Cowley. That means frequent lock changes, tenancy changeovers and lockouts, and Tim handles all of it, usually completing on the first visit.
🏠 Hillingdon & Ickenham — UB10
Predominantly suburban family housing, a lot of it inter-war and post-war semis now fitted with uPVC and composite doors. The common jobs here are worn multipoint mechanisms, failed cylinders and anti-snap upgrades. Tim carries the usual mechanisms on the van so most are fixed the same day.
🏠 Denham & Harefield — UB9
Semi-rural on the Buckinghamshire edge, with larger and older properties, cottages and outbuildings along the Grand Union Canal. These often need traditional mortice locks, robust outbuilding security and weatherproof hardware. Tim covers the whole of UB9 and knows what rural property needs.
🏢 Commercial & Retail — Uxbridge centre
Uxbridge has a substantial retail and office centre, from the High Street and shopping precincts to business parks nearby. Tim handles commercial lock changes, master key systems, door closers, access control and emergency lockouts, worked around opening hours wherever possible.
