One call, the right licensed trade
I’m Victor from Holy Mess Repairs. This work is done by a fully licensed contractor we organise and manage. You make one call to us: we send the right licensed locksmith, coordinate the job with our own roofers and plumbers where needed, and stay responsible for it until it’s finished. Fully licensed in Canberra, with a compliance certificate every time.
What’s covered
- Lockouts from homes and businesses
- Lock changes and rekeying after lost or stolen keys
- Broken locks and damaged doors after a break-in, with door repairs and board-up by our team. See make-safe and board-up.
- Securing damaged doors and frames
Before we get there
- If there’s been a break-in, call the police first.
- Don’t force the door, it often costs more to repair than the lockout.
After-hours emergency pricing, up front
After hours there’s a $330 call-out fee, and the minimum charge for an emergency repair is $550. We tell you both on the phone before we head out, so there are no surprises at the door. If the job is bigger than an emergency fix, we make it safe first, then give you a written quote for the long-term repair before any more work starts.
How it works
- You call, a tradesperson answers. Any hour, 7 days, on 0426 204 244. Send photos and videos on WhatsApp.
- We confirm the cost on the phone. $330 after-hours call-out and a $550 minimum, before anyone heads out.
- We make it safe. Stop the water, isolate the danger, cover or secure what’s damaged.
- We fix the cause. On the spot where we can, by fully licensed tradespeople.
- Photos and a quote for the rest. Before and after photos for you and your insurer, and a written quote for the long-term repair.
