Looking for a handyman for small jobs in London, or what most people still call an odd job man? That is most of what we do. There is no minimum job size and no separate call-out fee on booked work: £80-£100 per hour, agreed before we start and most small jobs are finished in under two hours.
The hardest job to get done in London is the small one. Larger firms want a full day’s work before they will send anyone, so the shelf stays in its box, the tap keeps dripping and the door keeps catching for another six months. We built this service around exactly those jobs, the ten-minute fixes and the two-hour lists that everyone else turns down.
The smartest way to use us is to save your jobs up. Rather than paying a call-out for one task, write down everything that needs doing and book a half or full day. We work straight through the list and the cost per job drops sharply, most customers get eight to twelve things fixed in a single visit.

How to book a small job
Not sure it is worth calling out for? It almost certainly is. The jobs people apologise for asking about, a rattling toilet handle, a cupboard door that will not sit straight, a smoke alarm chirping out of reach, are quick, cheap and exactly what we are set up for. Nothing on your list is too small to mention.
We also work with landlords and letting agents on small-repair lists between tenancies, where a dozen minor snags need clearing quickly before a check-in. One visit, one invoice, photos on completion.
