Your local handyman in Fulham

Fulham is Victorian terraces almost end to end, and after well over a century they share a predictable snag list: sash windows painted shut or dropped in their frames, front doors swollen against the weather, internal doors catching where floors have moved, and original joinery that wants repairing rather than replacing.

That is the core of our SW6 work, alongside all the ordinary things — shelving that has to be fixed properly into old lath and plaster, flat-pack, leaking taps, light fittings and the steady list of jobs a busy family house accumulates. We also do a good deal of between-tenancy work here for landlords.

SW6 streets are narrow and permit-controlled, so we plan access, bring materials in one trip and take waste with us. Half-day and full-day slots, priced before we start, insured, and covered by our 12-month workmanship guarantee.

Painting & Decorating

Fulham decorating is period preparation: filling and sanding old plaster properly, cutting in around cornicing and picture rails by hand, and dealing with layered gloss on original joinery rather than painting over it. Externally, front doors, sash frames, porches and railings take the brunt of the weather on these terraced streets and need doing every few years.

We can supply all materials, or you can provide your own if you have specific brands/colors in mind. We'll advise on quantities needed.

We include filling holes/cracks, sanding surfaces, cleaning walls, and protecting floors/furniture. Any major repairs would be quoted separately.

Carpentry & Bespoke Builds

The most common SW6 carpentry is sash and door work — windows freed off, re-corded, spliced and draught-proofed; front and internal doors eased and re-hung where floors have settled; and skirting, architrave and picture rail repaired to match. We also build fitted alcove shelving beside chimney breasts, which almost every Fulham reception room has and almost none use well.

Basic Plumbing

Regular Fulham plumbing calls: dripping and seized taps on older basins and baths, leaking waste traps under kitchen sinks, running cisterns, radiator valves that no longer close, and renewing failed shower seals and silicone. In a terrace, a slow bathroom leak tends to show up as a stain on the ceiling below, so it is worth catching early.

Basic Electrical Tasks

Typical SW6 electrical work is replacing worn sockets and switches, swapping light fittings and pendants in high-ceilinged rooms, adding sockets where Victorian wiring never anticipated modern appliances, and outdoor lighting for garden and side access. Part P notifiable work goes to a registered electrician and we say so upfront.

Basic Electrical Tasks FAQs

We carry out basic like-for-like electrical tasks that do not require Part P certification — such as replacing light fittings, switches and sockets. All new circuits, consumer unit work or full electrical installations must be carried out by a qualified Part P electrician, which we can recommend.

Yes — we can replace an existing light fitting with a new one on the same circuit. If new wiring or a new circuit is needed, a Part P electrician would be required.

We can replace existing spotlight fittings like for like. Installing new downlights into a ceiling where no fitting currently exists requires a Part P electrician.

We can replace standard switches and sockets with smart equivalents where the existing wiring supports it — such as Philips Hue switches and smart plug sockets.

Handyman Fulham — Questions

Do you cover all of Fulham?

Yes — SW6 and the surrounding area, including Parsons Green, Fulham Broadway, Sands End, Munster Village, Bishops Park and Walham Green.

Can you repair sash windows rather than replace them?

Yes, and on a Fulham terrace it is nearly always the better option. Re-cording, freeing off, splicing decayed timber, draught-proofing and repainting restores function and keeps the character. It is also considerably cheaper than replacement.

Can you fix shelving properly into old walls?

Yes, and it matters. Victorian lath and plaster and old solid walls need the right fixings and finding the actual structure behind them, or shelves pull straight out. We fix into something solid rather than relying on plugs.

How do you deal with parking on narrow SW6 streets?

We plan it — materials in one trip, waste taken away with us, and no van left blocking the road. Where a permit or bay suspension is needed we will tell you in advance rather than on the day.

Do you do between-tenancy work for landlords?

Regularly in Fulham. Make-good, touch-up decorating, door and lock repairs and snagging lists, priced as one job and worked to your changeover date.

Are you insured and guaranteed?

Yes — full public liability insurance and a 12-month workmanship guarantee on all work.

How quickly can you come out?

Usually within a few days for a handyman slot. Send your list and we will confirm a time and a price.
