What if you want to ‘fix up’ your West London property but lack the time or relevant expertise to do so? In this corner of the UK capital, we at Essential Repairs offer a broad range of handyman services — including repairs, maintenance and light plumbing and electric jobs.
A handy man from our team can take care of those ‘odd jobs’ around the property — whether it is a home you own or a space (either domestic or commercial) you rent out.
A handy man is basically a tradesperson adept at patching and mending buildings both inside and out. Here are examples of work that can be carried out by a handyman at a London home or workplace:
Enhance your viewing experience with our TV wall mounting service. Our London technicians securely mount your TV, ensuring optimal positioning and a neat, cable-free setup.
Organise your space with our hanging shelves service. Our skilled team in London professionally installs shelves, providing sturdy and stylish storage solutions for your home.
Improve your home’s privacy and lighting with our fitting blinds service. Our London experts install a variety of blinds, ensuring a perfect fit and smooth operation.
Save time and effort with our flatpack assembly service. Our experienced London team assembles your furniture quickly and accurately, ensuring a hassle-free experience.
A handy man can alternatively be referred to as a handyperson, handyworker, fixer, repair worker, repair technician or maintenance worker.
Our handy man services range from small jobs we can complete on one visit (e.g. hanging doors and replacing lightbulbs) to larger projects lasting potentially days or weeks. We can arrange for a West London handyman to install any of the following:
Our handymen services also include tiling (ideal in high-moisture spaces like kitchens and bathrooms) as well as comprehensively redecorating interiors and exteriors.
We know more than a thing or two about property maintenance, having long provided various services under this banner. So, we have the right pedigree to provide London handyman services of the required standard. Here are just a few customers who have praised our big focus on quality:

I found Essential Repairs very efficient with a friendly manner. The guys who came were so nice and worked hard, efficiently and cleaned up so well afterwards. Very helpful and friendly too. Will definitely use again!
Carolyn Warner
Working alongside Frixos, Alicija and team has been a pleasure. David Astburys are managing over 500 units and the team have been fast to book in jobs and get the quotes over to us on the same day if they are able too. I would definitely recommend their services, if you require a quick turn around and jobs completed to a professional standard. Thanks so much and looking forward to continue building our working relationship.

Good job. Great service. Excellent coordination by Alecja.
John Breen
I was impressed from the word go with this firm. I was initially contacted by Alicja who took the basic details of the job and collected images of what I needed doing, presumably to pre-filter me to the right team. This was done very quickly and with minimal fuss, but in a personable and friendly way - which I appreciate is not an easy thing to balance. Less than 24 hours later I was contacted by Sameera who reconfirmed my details and booked me in with a contractor - again, with a friendly attitude and efficiently done. I got a text message with a tracking link telling me exactly when the contractor Giourgken was going to arrive, and it was helpful but unnecessary because he was precisely on time, completing the job perfectly and very quickly. He then did an assessment of another light fitting that we'd forgotten to ask to be included originally. All in all, I cannot fault Essential Repairs. I will absolutely be using them again and I thoroughly recommend them for speed, service and value.

What made my experience great is the wonderful SAMERA KOSHEN who has an outstanding customer service technique by resolving my repairs matter in a very short time and made everything smooth from getting the plumbing work done to replacing the broken appliances. Once again thank you Samera … Deserve a rise.

I cannot say enough good things about this company. They have jumped through hoops and made miracles happen for me. I manage a load of properties and have tasked them to do various things from plumbing, electrics, decorating, pest control, etc and they always come through for me quickly and efficiently. I don't know what I would do without them!

My experience was great at all levels - communication, survey, getting quote and electrician work on site. Jurgen and Arjan are high professionals that worked fast and clean. They also explained all steps of their work and showed how to keep records in log book.

I use this company a lot for myself and for the tenants of properties I look after, They are very responsive and reliable. I recommend them.
Tina Perasole
The team at Essential Repairs are excellent. They are extremely well organised and very helpful, and fair on their pricing too. Engineer visited the property on time, solved and repaired the issue and made some good suggestions. Got a report back that day with a sensible cost. They have done other work for us since then, and the service levels are consistent. Would highly recommend.
Athos Yiannis
Highly responsive, clear reports and accurate quotes. Have used their services for a number of years and will happily continue to do so.
AMS
Good communications by phone, email and text. All appointments kept too. Surveyor reviewed the dampness problem and arranged for a specialist firm to carry out an inspection. The specialist firm gave me advice that they would pass to Essential Repairs for action. I look forward to the work being undertaken by ER in due course. All undertaken at nil cost (so far)

Do you need to get hold of a handy man in London? It’s delightfully easy and straightforward to do so. We offer handyman services in the London areas listed below. However, this is not an exhaustive list; to confirm whether we indeed serve your part of the city, please contact us.

No. We have stocked up on materials we already tend to use for many handyman projects. For this reason, when your handyman does arrive, they will bring with them some supplies — including:
● Screws
● White paint
● White silicone
● Wall plugs
When enquiring with us, be as specific as possible about what handyman services you need. We request this to help us source any other materials required for the job before we actually start it.
Nonetheless, upon inspecting the problem area of your West London property, the handyman could realise that they need a few extra materials not previously accounted for. In this situation, the handyman can fetch those materials before making a return visit to the property.
Yes! The areas we cover include Acton, Ealing (where our company is physically based), Chiswick and Isleworth — all of which are in West London.
No, as it would be against the law for the handyman to do this. Though a handyman can change lightbulbs, they are not legally permitted to fulfil any of the following electrical responsibilities:
● Installing new electrical light fixtures
● Hardwiring ovens
● Completely rewiring properties
● Replacing extractor fans
If you do need any such electrical jobs to be undertaken at your West London property, please ask to be introduced to one of our specialist electricians.
We understand that some tasks may be urgent, and we strive to accommodate same-day requests whenever possible. Please contact us to check availability and schedule a same-day service if required.
Our handyman services are delivered in compliance with health and safety regulations — and the tradesperson we send to your London property will be friendly and polite with you from the moment they first greet you. We invite you to contact us about the extensive remit of our handyman services.
