An emergency handyman call-out in London typically costs £120 to £250, covering the first hour or two on site, with parts and additional time charged on top. We aim to reach most London addresses the same day for urgent repairs that cannot wait.
Some jobs simply cannot wait for a booking next week. A leak spreading across the ceiling, a front door that will not lock, a window smashed in a storm, a toilet that has stopped working in a busy household or office — these need a fast, competent response. Our emergency handyman service gets an insured tradesperson to you quickly to make things safe and working again.
We respond to urgent repairs across London: stopping and containing leaks, fixing or replacing broken locks and securing doors, boarding up smashed windows, making safe after storm or water damage, and tackling the sudden breakages that disrupt a home or business. We carry common parts and tools so most problems are resolved in the same visit.

What we respond to
How an emergency call-out works
Speed matters most with water. If you have a leak, turn off the supply at the stopcock if you can, move valuables clear, and call us — we will contain it and stop further damage to floors, ceilings and belongings while we sort the repair. The faster we get there, the less the damage costs to put right.
For security emergencies — a broken lock, a door that will not shut, a smashed window — getting the property secure again is the priority. We repair or replace the lock, refit or board the door or window, and make sure your home or business is safe before we leave, with a permanent fix arranged if needed.
