How your Balham visit works

1. 1

   Describe the job

   A flat-maintenance list can combine cabinet catches and accessories while excluding shared building fixtures. Make a room-by-room list with photos of each loose fitting, damaged handle or small repair, rather than a single general description.

2. 2

   Confirm the plan

   Identify replacement parts and prioritise the repairs. Gas work, specialist electrical work and structural alterations are outside this handyman job list.

3. 3

   Get it sorted

   If your home is in a managed court, check work hours and the route for tools and deliveries. Clear the affected rooms and keep parts beside the relevant fitting. We discuss anything that needs a different trade or more time before proceeding.

  Rebecca Oluwaseun

• “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!”

• “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.”
