Houghton-le-Spring is a market town sitting about 5 miles northwest of central Seaham, mostly DH5 postcodes, and we can get to you in roughly 20 to 25 minutes via the A182. Housing is a proper mix: Victorian and Edwardian terraces close to the town centre, 1970s council semis out towards Hetton Road, and newer estates pushing towards the Coalfields area. We get a steady flow of jobs here, lockouts being the most common, along with cylinder upgrades and repairs on the older period stock.
Newbottle Street and the streets running off it are typical of the older town-centre terraces, many still running original wooden door frames with single-cylinder nightlatches that offer very little real security. The Burnside and Dairy Lane areas have a lot of 1970s semis with budget Euro cylinders that are long overdue a replacement. We come in on the A182 through Murton, usually a clean run outside rush hour. Honestly, the number of snap-vulnerable cylinders we find on doors in this town is higher than most places we cover.

Houghton-le-Spring FAQ
It can do during morning and late afternoon rush hours. If you're calling between about 7.30am and 9am, or 4pm and 6pm on a weekday, give us a ring straight away rather than waiting, because the run through Murton can add 10 minutes or so. Outside those windows we're normally with you in 20 to 25 minutes from central Seaham.
