What do handyman services in London include?

London Handymen can tackle a wide range of indoor and outdoor home DIY tasks. Here are some tasks you might ask a local handyman near you to pop round and help with:

General handyman services

Got a list as long as your arm of odd jobs that need a handyman to complete? Hire general labour handymen to get several things done at once. They can help with pulling up carpet, hanging doors, fixing broken appliances, garden work, and more. 

Indoor installations and repairs 

A local handyman can help install newly bought homewares or fix broken possessions (so you can hopefully save some money). For example, they can help with DIY blind installation and repairs, fitting and repairing the kitchen sink, fitting pet doors, hanging shower screens, and even wallpapering. They’ll get it done using their own specialist tools and will let you know if you need to provide or pay for any additional materials.

Outdoor installations and repairs 

Your outdoor area and belongings have to deal with a lot. So help them withstand whatever nature (or your family) throws at them for longer by getting them professionally installed or repaired. Find a handyman who can help with garden shed installation, BBQ repair, fitting outdoor blinds, window repairs, fixing your mower, putting up your clothesline, and even repairing your kids’ trampoline.    

Bricklaying and building work

You can hire a handyman near you with bricklaying and building experience to help build garden walls, repair loose brickwork, install MDF, or even construct a chicken coop. When getting quotes from tradesmen, mention if you’ve got the building materials already, or if you’d like them to supply the materials as part of the job.   

Wall hanging

From pictures and TVs to bike racks and mirrors - if you need help with wall mounting, get a DIY handyman to fit your furnishings securely and make sure they’re level. Most handymen will bring their own tools, but you may need to supply extra materials such as screws, picture wire, or mounts for heavier electrical items like TVs and driers. 

Furniture repair

When booking a handyman for furniture repair, you’ll need to be specific about the furniture that needs fixing. For example, handymen with carpentry experience may better if it’s your wooden coffee table, wardrobe, or sofa bed that need repairing. Meanwhile, a handyman with electrical experience may be right for any ceiling fan or digital fitness equipment fixes. That’ll ensure you get the best handyman near you for the job, plus the right tools to get it done.

Vaillant Boiler broken

£50

North Kensington, Greater London, W10

12th Jan 2025

My Vaillant boiler has stopped working. It’s an old boiler and I have recently had Val to look at it before they came in. It was working for about 4 to 6 hours a day before losing pressure. Ironically after they have come in to look at it they fiddled with it and completely broke it. They have now quoted me for a brand-new boiler instead of fixing this one. I know the boiler is good. It just needs someone to at least bring it back to where it was before the Val guy came in. Right now, it loses pressure immediately with a sign saying “F 22” I’m sure it can be fixed. Would love someone to pop in and see if they can help. Many thanks.

Tony was super responsive and did a great job helping diagnose the problem with my boiler. I am now using him to install a new one rather than from a big firm who push you to the most expensive boiler for no reason / are hard to deal with.

Cut a couple of holes in desk for cables to go through.

£25

Surrey Quays, Greater London, SE16

5th Jan 2025

I'm looking for someone to cut a couple of circular holes in my desk (i don't own one but I'm envisioning someone using a circular hole saw) to fit cables through so I can keep the cables tidy. I have a shelf on my desk which an extension tower will sit & I want to feed the cables through one hole to the extension & then feed the extension plug through another hole to plug into the socket closest to my desk.

I asked for two holes to be drilled into my desk to feed cables into and Chris did a stellar job doing that. He did offer plastic inserts but couldn't get them in time for the job, however, he offered alternatives & one of which was a gloss which matches the colour of the wood on the desk so I think the alternative was better. Definitely recommend Chris if you're looking for similar jobs.
