    Mobile Van key specialist across the North East

    When a van is off the road, a tradesperson is off the job. That's why I prioritise van key calls and aim to get out to you the same day. I cut and program van keys for all major makes — Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, VW Transporter, Vauxhall Vivaro and more — at your home, yard or roadside across the North East.

    Whether you need a spare van key cut, you've lost every key, or you're locked out, I'll travel to you across Durham, Sunderland, Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Middlesbrough and the wider region. No call-out fee, no VAT (which matters when you're claiming back), and over 230 five star Google reviews from drivers and tradespeople across the area.

    Types of Van Keys We Replace

    Blade keys with transponder

    The traditional cut blade with a chip in the head, found on older Transits, Sprinters and Vivaros. Quick to cut and code.

    Remote fob van keys

    Two and three-button remote fobs found on most modern Transit, Sprinter, Transporter and Vivaro models. Combines a cut blade with central locking.

    Flip / switchblade van keys

    The flip-out blade design used on later Transit Custom, Caddy, Berlingo and Partner vans. Tidy and pocket-friendly.

    Proximity smart keys

    Keyless entry and push-button start fitted to the newest Sprinter, Transit Custom and Transporter models. Encrypted rolling code talks to the van as you approach.

    Fleet and aftermarket security keys

    Many vans run aftermarket immobilisers and trackers on top of the original system. I'll work around any extra security and confirm everything is reset before I leave.

    How Much Does Van Key Replacement Cost?

    Van key replacement typically costs between £120 and £350 depending on the make, model and the type of key.

    What affects the price:

    • Make and model — Sprinter and newer Transit Custom keys cost more than older Vivaro or Berlingo
    • Key type — a basic remote is cheaper than a proximity smart key
    • Spare key vs all keys lost — losing every key takes more time and equipment
    • Whether aftermarket security has been fitted to the van

    Main dealers will usually quote considerably more and want the van recovered to them, leaving you off the road for days. I quote up front on the phone, charge no call-out fee and add no VAT.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Most van keys fall between £120 and £350 fitted and coded at your location. Older Vivaro and Berlingo keys sit at the lower end. Newer Sprinter and Transit Custom proximity keys sit at the higher end.

    Yes — I prioritise van calls because I know what it costs you to be off the road. If I have nothing else on I can usually be with you within the hour, and every job is done the same day.

    Yes. Mercedes Sprinter keys, including the newer proximity smart keys, are something I program at your location. Send me your reg and I'll confirm I have the right equipment before travelling.

    No. I'm SERMI registered which gives me manufacturer-level access. I bring everything to you — no recovery, no dealer appointment, no van off the road for days.

    Yes. If you have your original key I can clone or duplicate it on the spot. A spare is always cheaper than waiting until you've lost the only one and need all keys lost.
