Two jobs. Done properly.

Most call-outs we take are one of two things. We've built our outfit around being the team you ring when one of them goes wrong.

The rest of the property maintenance.

Booked in alongside larger projects, or as add-ons to lock and plumbing work. Tiling, joinery, electrical, security: one outfit, one quote.

One number for the whole portfolio.

We work alongside several local property investors handling tenant lockouts, between-tenancy lock changes, leak emergencies and small maintenance jobs. The pitch: one team, one invoice, fast turnaround, photos before and after, no chasing.

Whether it's a single rental or thirty doors, you get a direct line to us and we sort the issue without dragging the tenant through three different contractors.

What people say after the call-out.

★★★★★

"Locked myself out at 11pm with a baby in the cot. Phone answered first ring. Half an hour later he was at the door, opened it without a scratch on the lock. Lifesaver."

Laura H.Lockout · weekend call-out
★★★★★

"Burst pipe under the kitchen sink Saturday morning, water everywhere. Came out within 40 minutes, isolated it, fixed it that day. Charged a fair rate, no weekend rip-off."

★★★★★

"I manage a few rentals and use Milltown for lock changes between tenants and the odd tenant lockout. Reliable, quick, sends photos. Saves me a load of headaches."

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, just ring us, that's usually faster.

How fast can you get to me?+
Usually within 30 to 45 minutes for emergency call-outs in Burnley, Padiham, Nelson and Colne. We'll give you an honest ETA when you ring, no padding to make ourselves look good.
Do you charge extra at night or on weekends?+
No. The rate is the rate. We quote before we set off and stick to it, whether it's 2pm Tuesday or 2am Sunday.
Will you damage my door to get me back in?+
Almost never. We pick or bypass on 99% of lockouts. Drilling is the absolute last resort and we'll always tell you before doing it.
Do you do lock upgrades after a break-in?+
Yes. Anti-snap, anti-bump, anti-pick cylinders, replacement multipoint mechanisms, sash jammers and door reinforcement. We can also help you talk to insurance.
What plumbing emergencies do you cover?+
Burst pipes, leak isolation, frozen pipes, stop tap failures, tank and cylinder leaks, toilet overflows, radiator splits, anything that needs water turning off and a permanent fix the same visit.
Do you have a landlord arrangement?+
Yes. We work with several local investors and landlords on a direct-call basis. Get in touch and we'll set up a single point of contact for your portfolio.

Tell us what's gone wrong.

Phone is fastest for an emergency. The form is fine for a quote on lock upgrades, landlord arrangements, or non-urgent maintenance.
