Covering the whole borough
An Auto Locksmith Service That Travels to the Car
Fareham covers far more than the town centre. The borough runs from Portchester at the top of Portsmouth Harbour to Warsash on the Hamble, and from Funtley in the north to Stubbington and Hill Head on the coast. A lost key could mean a car stuck in a multi-storey by the shopping centre, on a business park at Segensworth or outside a house in Locks Heath. I bring key blanks, remotes, a cutting machine and programming tools in the van, so there is no need for recovery or a trip to the dealer.
Fareham is further from my Eastleigh base than some of the towns I cover, and I am upfront about that. Travel is built into the fixed price I agree with you before I set off, so the figure does not change when I arrive. I am a trained, self-employed auto locksmith, which means one person handles the job from the phone call to handing over the key.
Honest arrival times for Fareham
Rather than quote a stock figure, I tell you when I can realistically reach you, based on where I am at the time of your call, the part of the borough you are in and the traffic on the M27 and A27. Late at night the roads are usually clear. If anything changes on the way, I let you know straight away.

Postcode Districts Across the Borough
Fareham is spread over several postcode districts, including one that starts with SO rather than PO. These are the areas I cover and some of the places in each.
Titchfield and Stubbington
Titchfield village, Stubbington and Hill Head on the coast, with narrow historic streets in Titchfield and seafront parking at Hill Head.
Whiteley and Segensworth
Whiteley and the Segensworth business parks by junction 9 of the M27, with large car parks, offices and trade units.
Funtley, Knowle and Wickham
Funtley on the rural north side of Fareham, with Knowle and Wickham just over the borough boundary, all lanes and village parking.
Locks Heath and the Hamble side
Locks Heath, Park Gate, Sarisbury Green and Warsash, the western part of the borough close to the River Hamble.
The A27 and A32 corridors
The main roads through Fareham, where the A27 crosses the town and the A32 heads south towards Gosport.
I also cover the edges of the borough, including Wickham, Knowle and the roads leading towards Gosport and Botley.
Places I attend
Common Call-Out Locations
Fareham has town streets, coastal villages and major business parks. These are some of the places I can attend.
Town centre car parks
The shopping centre and the car parks around it are busy all day. Tell me the car park and level. For locations and charges, see Fareham Borough Council parking and traffic.
Fareham station
Commuters leave cars at Fareham station all day. If your key fails when you get back, I can attend the station car park at any hour.
Segensworth and Whiteley business parks
Trade units and offices near junction 9 depend on vans and company cars. I can attend business premises and deal with several vehicles in one visit.
Coastal car parks
Stubbington, Hill Head and the Solent shore draw walkers and sailors. Keys lost on the beach or locked in the car can be sorted in the car park.
Portchester and the harbour
Roads near Portchester Castle and the harbour edge can be tight for parking. I work at the kerb as long as the car can be reached safely.
M27 junctions 9 and 11
If a key or immobiliser fault stops you near the motorway, get off the main road to a safe place, then call with the nearest junction or landmark.
Getting to Fareham
Routes From My Eastleigh Base
Fareham is easy to reach from Eastleigh, though it is further than my nearest towns. Common routes from Eastleigh include the following, and the route on the day depends on where I am when you call.
M27 east
The M27 is the main route, with junction 9 for Whiteley and Segensworth and junction 11 for the east of the town and Portchester.
Western villages
For Locks Heath, Park Gate, Sarisbury Green and Warsash, leaving the M27 at junction 9 is a common way in.
Through Botley
The A3051 from Botley through Burridge to Park Gate can be a useful alternative when the motorway is slow.
Peak traffic
The A27 through the town and the approaches to junction 11 can be slow at rush hour. I factor that in when I give you an arrival time.
Useful to know
A Driver’s Guide to Key Trouble Across the Borough
Fareham is one borough, but its addresses can confuse anyone trying to find you. Homes in Locks Heath, Park Gate, Sarisbury Green and Warsash carry SO31 postcodes, while the rest of the borough uses PO postcodes, and Whiteley sits across the boundary with the Winchester district. When you call, give the village or neighbourhood as well as the postcode, so there is no doubt about which side of the M27 or the A27 the car is on.
Business parks at Segensworth and Whiteley often have barriers, gatehouses or car parks that are locked in the evening. If your car is stuck at work after hours, it helps to check with site security how a visiting vehicle can get in, and to tell me before I arrive. The same applies to hotel car parks and gated developments, where a code or a permit may be needed.
The coast at Hill Head and Stubbington brings its own risks. Sand gets into key blades and fob buttons, and keys dropped on the shingle are hard to find. Keeping the key in a closed pocket or a small pouch on the beach helps, and so does brushing sand off before using the key in the door. In the historic streets of Titchfield, parking can be tight, so leave the car somewhere it can safely stay if a key fails there.
How it works
Four Steps to Getting Back on the Road
This is the usual order of things once you get in touch.
First contact
Call or message with your reg, the make and model, and the location. A car park name or house number is plenty.
Fixed price, travel included
I explain the work, give you a price with travel already included and a realistic arrival time.
Proving the car is yours
I check the V5C logbook and photo ID. If yours is missing, it is possible to get a replacement V5C through GOV.UK.
Key handed over
Once the key is cut and coded, we try the doors, the remote and the engine together so you know it all works.
Makes and models
Cars, Vans and Makes Covered
I cover 30 makes, from Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda and SEAT to Ford, Vauxhall, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan and Toyota, along with a wide range of vans. Some models and key types need particular equipment, so the answer depends on the exact car, its year and its key system. Send your registration and I will tell you before I travel.

Recent work
Examples of Recent Hampshire Jobs
Real jobs carried out at the vehicle for drivers in Hampshire.
VW Passat B6 With No Keys
Every key for this Passat B6 was gone. I read the immobiliser data from the comfort control module, cut a new blade and coded the key on site, so the owner avoided the dealer entirely.
Extra Key for a VW Group Model
Working from the owner’s existing key and using specialist equipment, I replaced and programmed a key for a newer Volkswagen group model at the car.

Questions
Questions About My Fareham Service
For anything else, call me or use the contact page, giving your registration and location.
How soon can you reach Fareham?
Fareham is further from my Eastleigh base than my closest towns, so I do not quote a set figure. When you call, I give you a real arrival time based on where I am, which part of the borough you are in and the traffic at that moment.
Do you charge extra to travel to Fareham?
Travel is included in the fixed price I agree with you before setting off. Nothing is added when I arrive.
Do you cover Locks Heath, Park Gate and Warsash?
Yes. The SO31 side of the borough, including Locks Heath, Park Gate, Sarisbury Green and Warsash, is covered in full.
Can you come to Portchester or Titchfield?
Yes. Portchester, Titchfield, Stubbington and Hill Head are all covered, along with Funtley, Wickham and Knowle to the north.
I work at Segensworth. Can you come to my workplace car park?
Yes. I can work on the car in a business park or office car park. Just check that there are no access restrictions for my van.
Can you help at Whiteley?
Yes. Whiteley, including its shopping area and the homes around it, is covered. The shopping area has large car parks, so tell me which part you are parked in.
My keys were taken in a break-in. What should I do?
Report it through police.uk and let your insurer know. I can then supply a new key and, for most cars, make sure the stolen keys will no longer start it.
Do you work at night in Fareham?
Yes, around the clock and on bank holidays. Night call-outs are handled the same way, with a fixed price and a real arrival time.
Locked Out or Keyless in Fareham?
Call or WhatsApp your registration and where the car is. I will give you a fixed price with travel included and an honest arrival time.
