Same-day tenancy and HMO lock change across Streatham — end-of-tenancy re-keys and keyed-alike sets for letting agents and landlords, BS3621 mortice for the Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Streatham Common and Streatham Hill, and anti-snap TS007 upgrades on the conversion-flat, composite and uPVC doors off the High Road. Fitted to Lambeth licensing standards, paperwork included.
Streatham is the core of SW16 — the long retail spine of Streatham High Road (the A23), the open green of Streatham Common and The Rookery, and three stations at Streatham, Streatham Common and Streatham Hill. The housing behind it is unusually layered: late-Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Telford Park and the side streets off the High Road, inter-war mansion blocks along the High Road and Streatham Hill, and a deep band of conversion flats and HMOs carved out of the larger terraces. That mix means our top three jobs here every week are end-of-tenancy re-keys, keyed-alike sets for converted flats, and BS3621 or anti-snap upgrades for landlords.
Streatham sits in the London Borough of Lambeth, and Lambeth's selective licensing scheme now covers the Streatham wards — every privately rented home must be licensed, with penalties for unlicensed lets. The borough's HMO Article 4 direction across Streatham Common & Vale and St Leonard's tightens the rules again. Whichever side of that you're on, our fitting receipts list the lock model, the BS3621 kitemark reference, the date, and the new key count — paperwork-ready for Lambeth licensing inspections, deposit protection, and insurance.
For the period timber front doors on the streets around Streatham Common and up toward Streatham Hill, we fit BS3621 5-lever mortice deadlocks from £180 plus a quality nightlatch. For the uPVC and composite doors on the conversion flats and newer developments off the High Road, it's a standard euro cylinder change from £135 or an anti-snap TS007 upgrade from £200. Communal mansion-block doors take a mortice or nightlatch with managed key control.
Whether you're moving in to an Edwardian terrace near the Common, ending a tenancy on a flat off Streatham High Road, or want an honest fixed quote for an anti-snap upgrade — book a same-day slot. From £89 fitted, fixed price first, no call-out fee.

Three recent SW16 jobs in three different parts of Streatham. Every review from a verified Google customer.
I run several HMO rooms in a converted Streatham terrace, and they changed every lock, keyed two of the doors alike, and documented the whole job for my Lambeth licence in a single visit. The receipt listed each lock model and key count exactly how the inspector wanted it. Same-day, fixed price, completely straightforward.
We had just bought an Edwardian terrace near Streatham Common and our buildings insurer wanted the old front-door mortice brought up to a BS3621 5-lever deadlock. They explained exactly why, fitted a kitemarked lock with a nightlatch above, and gave us a receipt for the insurer. Tidy work, honest pricing, polite engineer.
End-of-tenancy re-key on my converted flat off Streatham High Road — they changed the front and back locks and keyed them alike so the new tenant had a single key before move-in day. Booked in the morning, done the same afternoon, fixed price with the receipt emailed straight over. Exactly what I needed.
