berty – If you are happy to allow access then the contractor can obtain a key from the agent. The owner should have left a spare set of keys with the agent. Just ask the contractor to go to the agent and collect the key or ask the agent to go to your apartment and let them in. You don’t have to be there.
As for you being charged for another call out fee …. it will be the owner who will be charged by the service provider not you. However the owner may then try and pass this cost on to you. If you refuse to pay then the owner may elect to take this matter to the RTA Tribunal.
I guess you have to weigh up the pros and cons of whether its worth the anxiety of having this matter escalate.
