“Sultan and Adam are very helpful today for my tv Mounted is really hard but they work it out in a perfect way and I'm so happy with there job they do for me today and I will continue to used there services and highly recommend to others”
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!”
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.”
Lisa DS
“I had an IKEA cupboard which I did not know how to assemble. I have used Hello Services before, and I trusted them to do the work again... He arrived on time and the work was completed really quickly and it looked lovely!”
Mo Hassan
“I booked Hello Services for some IKEA closet assembly... Samuel who turned up was a real gem of a guy! He did a fantastic job assembling all the IKEA wardrobes and even helped me rearrange the room and cleaned up after himself!”
Yasmita C
“They done a great job. The couch needed to be taken apart to be moved and they were happy to assemble it again. I would recommend these guys to use.”
