"I was visiting my dad at Castle Hill Hospital. Parked in the multi-storey, visited for a couple of hours, came back down — car key completely unresponsive. The fob had been slowly dying and finally gave up in the most inconvenient place possible. My phone was at 4% battery. Managed to Google a locksmith, called Bridlington Keys, Ian said he'd be there in 40 minutes. He was there in 35. Programmed a new fob while I sat on the bonnet. Got home to feed the cat before dark. Hero."

Why Drivers in Cottingham Call Us
Cottingham is one of the largest villages in England, a substantial suburb on the northern edge of Hull about 30 miles south of Bridlington. Its size and character are closer to a small town, with a busy centre, its own railway station on the Hull-Scarborough line, and a large commuter population that works in Hull, Beverley, and the surrounding business parks. The vehicle mix reflects this -- predominantly modern cars with keyless entry and remote fobs, which means a steady stream of dead-fob call-outs, keys locked in the boot after the school run, and lost keys at the station car park.
Castle Hill Hospital, one of the largest hospitals in the region, sits on the edge of Cottingham and generates a significant number of our calls. Visitors parking for appointments or long visiting hours regularly lock keys in cars in the multi-storey, lose them in wards, or drop them in the hospital grounds. We know the hospital car-park layouts and access restrictions, and we can navigate to any of the visitor or staff car parks without delay. Beyond the village, Skidby, Little Weighton, and Dunswell spread out into the Wolds foothills, and we cover the entire northern Hull suburban belt from Cottingham through to the A164.
The most common Cottingham requests involve modern key fobs that have stopped working unexpectedly, keys lost during hospital visits, and residents who have locked their only key inside the car on the driveway. Our average response time is 35-40 minutes via the A165 and A1079 through Beverley, and we are now one of the most familiar locksmith services to the Castle Hill area.
