LONDON HOMES & BUSINESSES ↗
Can you help with an urgent repair in London?
Call 020 3746 0607 with the fault and full postcode. We check the service you need and appointment availability before agreeing a visit. For an active leak, tell us whether the water has been isolated.
Can I put several handyman jobs into one visit?
Yes. Send the full list, including the number of fittings or furniture items. We’ll discuss the tools, materials and time needed. Plumbing and electrical tasks may need a separate tradesperson.
HANDYMAN SERVICES LONDON
One number.
The jobs your home needs.
We work on repairs, fitting and maintenance across London. Tell us what is damaged, what you want installed and which materials you already have. We’ll match the enquiry to the work rather than treating every job as the same call-out.
Plumbing repairs ↗
We repair leaking taps, troublesome sink fittings and blocked U-bends in kitchens and bathrooms. We check the fitting and the accessible connections to establish where the problem starts, rather than covering up a symptom.
Accessible pipework, worn seals and replacement components all affect the repair. We use suitable hand tools to work on the connection, then run water and check the repaired area for leaks. Tell us if the fitting is enclosed or the water cannot be isolated.
Carpentry & door repairs ↗
A catching door, loose hinge or drawer that will not run properly can make an otherwise usable room frustrating. Our carpentry services cover timber repairs and adjustments to everyday fittings.
We check the alignment, the condition of the timber and how the fixing is held. Work may involve adjusting hardware, making a timber repair or fitting a suitable replacement. We check the movement again afterwards so you can see how the repair operates.
Hanging & wall-mounting ↗
We hang pictures and mirrors and fit shelves, curtain fittings, blinds and television brackets. The weight of the item and the construction of the wall determine the fixings; a hollow partition needs a different approach from solid masonry.
We agree the position, check the fixing area for concealed services and use a level when setting out. Send the item dimensions and bracket details beforehand. We check that the installed fitting is secure and correctly positioned before handing it over.
Furniture assembly ↗
We assemble flat-pack and disassembled furniture, including storage units, beds, tables and drawers. A product link or model number helps us understand the size, assembly instructions and any wall-fixing requirements before the visit.
We lay out and check the components, follow the product instructions and tighten the fittings with the appropriate tools. Hinges, runners and doors need adjustment as well as assembly. We check that moving parts operate correctly and discuss any required anchoring to a suitable wall.
Painting & decorating ↗
Our painting and decorating work covers walls, woodwork and interior refreshes. Preparation depends on the existing finish: loose paint, small surface defects and dusty areas need attention before a new coating goes on.
We protect the immediate working area, prepare the surface and use brushes or rollers suited to the finish. Tell us your colour and product choice before buying materials. Drying between coats follows the product instructions, and damp or damaged backgrounds need assessment before decoration.
Tiling, grout & re-sealing ↗
Cracked grout, a failed bath seal or a damaged tile needs a repair that suits the background. We carry out tiling, grouting and re-sealing in kitchens and bathrooms, from local repairs to new tiled areas.
For a sealant repair, old material needs removing and the joint needs cleaning and drying before fresh sanitary sealant is applied. Tile work also depends on the substrate, adhesive and matching replacements. We explain when the area can be used again according to the materials fitted.
Water damage restoration ↗
A burst pipe, appliance leak or flood can affect flooring, walls and ceilings. Our service includes water extraction and dehumidification alongside the repair work. We assess the affected areas and discuss drying before arranging replacement finishes. Painting over a damp patch alone does not address the cause.
Electrical repairs ↗
We arrange electrical help for faults involving lights, switches and sockets. Describe what has stopped working and whether any circuit has been isolated. The work needs the appropriate electrical assessment and checks. Leave damaged fittings and exposed wiring untouched; photographs can be useful only when they can be taken safely.
Flooring installation & repairs ↗
We fit and repair laminate, parquet, vinyl and timber flooring. We need to know the existing floor, room measurements and the material you want fitted. The subfloor, thresholds and edges matter as much as the visible boards. Where water has damaged a floor, the moisture problem needs resolving before new finishes are laid.
Everyday odd jobs ↗
Loose fixtures, small repairs and fitting tasks can often be discussed together. Our odd jobs service is useful when the work is spread across several rooms. Send a complete list rather than booking for one item and adding the rest on arrival; that helps us plan the right tools, fittings and working time.
Property maintenance ↗
We provide property maintenance in London for homes, offices and other premises. A maintenance visit can cover a list of repairs across fittings, flooring and other parts of the property. For landlords and managing agents, identify who can authorise additional work, who will provide access and which defects need attention first.
Property refurbishment ↗
When a property needs more than isolated repairs, we discuss the work as a connected project. Decoration, flooring, carpentry and other agreed services need arranging in a sensible order. Share room measurements, photographs and the finishes you have in mind so we can assess the work before agreeing an estimate.
URGENT HOME REPAIRS
Deal with the fault.
Then put things right.
Emergency home repairs in London begin with understanding what has failed and whether the area is safe to work in. A leaking connection, damaged surface or loose fixture may need more than one type of repair. Tell us what happened and what has already been isolated or removed.
For water damage, stopping the source and assessing moisture come before replacement finishes. For a door or wall fitting, the surrounding timber or substrate may need repairing before hardware can be secured. We discuss those dependencies when reviewing the job.
We do not attach a fixed arrival promise to an online enquiry. Call with the postcode and the problem so we can check current availability and explain the next practical step.
BEFORE WE ARRIVE
A useful conversation.
A better prepared visit.
The details you share help us bring the right tools and discuss the repair before we disturb anything. We agree what needs doing and raise anything that requires a different approach.
Show us the repair
Send a close photograph of the fault and a wider view of the area. For furniture or fittings, include the model, measurements and any instructions. For several tasks, say how many of each item need attention.
We’ll ask about the existing materials, previous repairs and access around the work. A loose fitting in sound timber is a different job from a fixing that has pulled out of a damaged wall.
Agree materials and access
Tell us whether you already have the replacement tap, bracket, tile, paint or furniture components. We check suitability before using supplied parts. Where materials need sourcing, their cost and any supply time are discussed separately.
Clear the immediate work area and tell us about parking restrictions, stairs, lift bookings and building access. In rented properties, arrange any necessary permission and identify the person who can approve the repair.
Check the finished work
We protect nearby surfaces where the job requires it and use tools suited to the fixing, material or finish. If the exposed condition changes the repair, we explain what we have found before additional work is agreed.
Afterwards, we check the repair in use: a door opens and closes, a drawer runs, a fitting is secure or a water connection remains dry. We also explain any curing or drying requirements and what needs further attention.
PLAN THE WORK
A clearer idea of cost.
A useful repair brief.
Use the labour calculator to explore your own estimated working time. Then use the time planner to identify what we need to assess. These tools help you describe the job; an appointment and final price still need confirming.

BEFORE YOU BOOK
Questions about
your handyman visit.
Practical answers about the work, materials and making arrangements.
What is included in the handyman labour estimate?
The calculator covers the working time you select, with a one-hour minimum and half-hour increments afterwards. It does not include materials, any time needed to obtain them, parking or congestion charges. Those details and the work itself need confirming before a booking. The estimate does not reserve an appointment.
Why does the time planner not give a fixed number of hours?
The same repair can involve very different work in different homes. A shelf in a sound masonry wall is not the same as a shelf on a damaged hollow partition. Without reliable job-specific information, a fixed duration would be misleading. Send photographs, quantities and product details so we can discuss a realistic working time.
Can you use materials or parts I have already bought?
Tell us what you have before the visit and share the product details. A replacement component, bracket or flooring product needs to suit the existing installation. We check the available parts and raise any compatibility problem before fitting them. Keep the instructions and all supplied fixings with the item.
Can I book repairs for a rented property?
Yes. Tell us whether you are the tenant, landlord or managing agent. Arrange permission for the work where needed and confirm who can approve any changes. We also need a reliable access arrangement and the contact details of the person meeting the tradesperson at the property.
What should I do before a visit for an active leak?
Tell us where the water is coming from and whether you have safely isolated it. Keep clear of electrical fittings affected by water. Photographs of an accessible leak can help us understand the repair, but do not disturb damaged fittings to take them. We need to assess the source as well as any visible damage.
Will decorating or re-sealing be ready to use immediately?
Not necessarily. Paint, fillers, adhesives, grout and sealants have their own drying or curing instructions. The room conditions and the materials used affect when the area can be used again. We explain the relevant aftercare for the agreed work; time spent drying is different from labour time at the property.
Do you deal with a complete list of property repairs?
We can discuss a mixed list covering the services shown here, including carpentry, fitting, decoration and maintenance. Include every task when enquiring and flag anything urgent. If electrical or plumbing work needs a separate professional, we discuss that arrangement rather than assuming one visit can cover everything.
