I booked Liam to complete the repair of our garden gate due to the windy weather. It was important to get this job done quickly because neighbours with young children who love being in the garden. This needed resolving quickly. Liam was selected based on highly recommended reviews in the last few days. This was very refreshing because customer satisfaction was paramount. This proved to be 💯accurate. Liam was a breath of fresh air. He is a keen listener, pays great attention to what the customer is asking clarifies the customer understanding and manages customer expectation very well. Liam is open to suggestions and quite flexible in his approach. Liam is a very rare trades man who concerns himself with customer satisfaction, he is good on price and being professionally personable. I would certainly be asking to use his services again. We are very pleased with the outcome and our neighbour was very pleased that the gap was filled quickly and securely. Well done Liam.

What does a gate installation service include?
You can get help with anything to do with gates, from gate selection and installation to repair and maintenance. Most gate installers are experienced with a range of fencing types and can choose a gate to match your existing fence or help install a fence alongside your gate. Here are some of the most common types of gates and what you can expect with each service:
Automatic gates
Need automatic gates or electric gates installed or repaired? These are a popular option for driveways, with everything securely locked away and you don’t even have to get out of your car to open or close it. Your technician will have experience with automatic gate openers, including how to set up access so that your gate can open smoothly via a buzzer, remote, keypad, or intercom. They’ll measure the area and recommend the best gate type to fit, with the most suitable opening methods (swinging or sliding). Your gate installer can order in your gate materials, before installing everything onsite and showing you how to operate your new gate.
Swinging gates
Swinging gates are the most popular gate type because they’re simple to operate, with your gate suspended on a hinge, and held in place with a latch. Your gate installer will help recommend a gate style that will fit with your existing fence and other features, whether you need timber gates, aluminium gates, or even glass. They’ll order in the materials and assemble your gate onsite, ensuring its level and properly secured at the hinges. Finally, they’ll attach a latch at the correct height for easy opening and closing - with the option to padlock your gate for added security.
Sliding gates
Sliding gates are ideal for homes with limited space on either side of the gate, or for larger gates along driveways, where a swinging gate isn’t practical. Your gate installer will begin by measuring the area and recommending some suitable sliding gates to fit. They’ll order in the materials and begin by installing your footings and metal tracks for the gate to roll on. Next, they’ll put in place posts for your gate. Then they’ll insert wheels into the bottom of your gate and slide it onto the track and lock it into place. Sliding gates do need regular maintenance to ensure they’re clean and well lubricated, and you may need to book sliding gate repair if your gate stops working smoothly or gets damaged.
Pool gates
If you have a pool, you’ll need at least one or two gates for safe access to your pool area. Your pool gate installer will help you select a gate that matches your pool fence, whether glass or aluminium. They’ll install your gate between fence posts, ensuring it meets the regulations for your local area. Common regulations include self-closing and self-latching, latches at a minimum height, and only outwards-opening. If your pool gate doesn’t open or close properly, you’ll need to book pool gate repairs as soon as possible to ensure your pool is safe and compliant.

I have an old side gate that I need replacing. I'd ideally like a recommendation on which secure gate to buy (although I have done some research) and for it to be installed. The preferred date would be Friday but of course you'd need to inspect it first. On one side of the gate is a brick wall on the other is a stone column supporting the fence.

I’m looking for an experienced handyman to align and potentially re-hang a standard locking UK timber garden gate (approx. 0.9 m wide) onto an existing, structurally sound frame at my house in Wimbledon Park, London. The task includes: • Inspection of the gate and potential of the gate from its current fittings (if required, may not be necessary) • Supply and installation of all necessary hardware (new hinges, bolts, screws – there are plenty of local hardware stores; I will gladly reimburse for materials) • Alignment and fixing to ensure smooth swing and secure latching • Testing to confirm the gate closes and latches correctly No painting, sanding or weather-proofing is required and there are no access or parking restrictions.

Investigate Standing Water in Cellar + Bosch Dishwasher Error (E15)
£60
Wimbledon Park, Greater London, SW19
27th May 2025
We’ve had standing water in our cellar for a few weeks and are looking for someone to help us identify the cause. We’re in a flood zone, so it might be rising water table, but we want to rule out any leaks or drainage issues. Additionally, our Bosch dishwasher (on the floor above the cellar) just started showing an E15 error today, which we understand may be related to water leakage or flood protection. It could be a coincidence, but we’d like someone to assess if the two issues are connected. We’re looking for someone experienced with: • Leak detection and drainage assessment • Understanding water table issues in flood zones • Bosch dishwasher troubleshooting (E15 error) Please bring your own tools and let us know your availability. Thanks!
