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.

£300

West Acton, Greater London

11th Sep 2026

I’m looking for an experienced plumber/heating engineer to carry out full maintenance and cleaning of all radiators in my flat while the building’s communal heating system is currently drained. The flat’s heating circuit should be capable of being isolated from the communal system – this has been done by previous engineers. I would therefore like the engineer to identify and close the appropriate isolation valves before the communal system is refilled. For all radiators, I would like: • Individual flushing/cleaning to remove sludge, magnetite and debris, removing and flushing radiators where appropriate • General inspection for corrosion or leaks • TRVs and lockshield valves checked for correct operation/seizing • Valves, tails, connections and fittings checked and replaced where necessary • Bleed valves/vents checked • Any other sensible preventative maintenance while the system is drained • The flat/radiator circuit appropriately isolated and left safe before the communal system is refilled • Once appropriate, the radiators refilled, vented and checked for leaks and correct operation This is a communal heating system, so I am not requesting a powerflush or chemical treatment of the whole building system. The important requirement is that the necessary isolation and any work requiring the communal system to be empty must be completed before Monday, when the building system is due to be refilled. Please let me know your experience with communal heating systems/radiator maintenance, the flushing method you would use, and your availability before Monday.
