Request an alley gate key

You can use this online form to request new or replacement alley gate keys.

If you’re a new owner or tenant and the key has not been passed on by the previous occupant, you’re still required to pay for a replacement key.

ID is required to verify you are either a resident or landlord of the property. A copy of your ID will be verified by us and appropriately destroyed following this verification process.

Cost

You can request up to 2 keys.

Keys cost £16 each, plus £2 for postage.
