Working across Staffordshire
Staffordshire is the one county where we cover only three towns, and they sit together on the Staffordshire Moorlands side of the Potteries. Leek is the moorland market town, high up on the A53 with the Roaches, Tittesworth reservoir and Rudyard Lake just outside it and a Wednesday market that fills the town centre car parks. Biddulph runs along the A527 in its own valley under Biddulph Moor, with Biddulph Grange Garden drawing National Trust visitors. Kidsgrove is different again: a canal and railway town at the north end of the Potteries, with the Harecastle Tunnel on the Trent and Mersey and a station used by commuters.
All three are ST postcodes: ST13 for Leek, ST8 for Biddulph and ST7 for Kidsgrove. Kidsgrove and Biddulph both border Cheshire, while Leek looks the other way towards the Peak District. That mix of moorland visitor, commuter into the Potteries and local resident is what the area is made of, and the van is set up for all of it: spare keys cut and programmed in a car park, a lockout opened without damage on a farm track, a worn key or a broken flip key rebuilt at the kerb. Everything is carried on board, so there is no second visit and nothing is sent away.
There is no separate hub for the Moorlands, so use the three town pages below for the local roads and car parks. If you are on the A53 above Leek, on the estates at Kidsgrove or in one of the villages around Biddulph, call with the registration and where the car is. We will tell you on the phone whether the key can be cut and programmed at the roadside, agree the price, and only then set off. Photo ID and proof of ownership are checked before any key is made, which matters when the car is parked up on the moors and the paperwork is at home.

Common questions
Things people in Staffordshire tend to ask before booking.
Do you cover the rest of the Staffordshire Moorlands?
Leek, Biddulph and Kidsgrove have their own pages. For the villages around them, call with the postcode and we will tell you straight away whether we can take it on. We would rather check than assume.
I am in Leek on market day and cannot find my key. What should I do?
Go back to the last place you remember having it and ask at the market and nearby shops, then call us with the registration and where the car is parked. If it does not turn up, we can cut and program a replacement at the car, and on many vehicles the lost key can be removed from the car's memory so it will no longer start it.
