“The movers handled my furniture with care and professionalism. They disassembled and assembled our wardrobe really quickly. And shout out to the young men who had to carry our very heavy cabinet up the stairs!”
Barry Tam
“Used this company for assembly of a pair of sliding mirrored IKEA doors on a cupboard. I normally enjoy my DIY and assemble things myself but these are very complex and tricky to put together, especially if you are on your own. The guys arrived on time, were friendly & polite, they assembled the doors and even fixed the cupboard to the wall in good time and end result looks amazing. Thank you Hellohandy!”
Menelaos Tzafetas
“I had the dismantling and reassembly of my large corner wardrobe. Sulltan and Adam were amazing, they were VERY fast, and were keeping me in the loop along the way. Very impressed with the service, and they also moved an old wardrobe for me too. They even offered to fix another item that I hadn't asked because they were so helpful. Would highly recommend.”
