Painting, carpentry, basic plumbing and electrics and general repairs — for houses and mansion flats across Hammersmith, Brook Green and Ravenscourt Park
Hammersmith mixes period terraces with a substantial stock of mansion blocks and purpose-built flats, and the two need slightly different handling. In a house it is straightforward. In a mansion block there are working hours to respect, a porter or managing agent to notify, lift protocols for materials, and rules about waste that mean no skip in the street.
We work in W6 regularly and know how to operate in blocks without causing a problem — booking access, protecting communal areas, taking waste away with us, and keeping to the hours the building allows. In the period houses around Brook Green and Ravenscourt Park it is more familiar territory: sash windows, original doors, joinery repairs and careful decorating.
Half-day and full-day slots, priced before we start, carried out by insured tradespeople and covered by our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
In the W6 period houses, decorating means proper preparation around cornicing, panelled doors and original plaster. In mansion flats it is more often a full redecoration between occupancies, done within the block's permitted hours with communal carpets and lifts protected. We also do a lot of ceiling stain-blocking and making good after leaks, which flats generate more of than houses.
Walls, ceilings, trim, and detailed work with premium paints and perfect finishes.
Weather-resistant coatings for doors, windows, and facades that last for years.
Expert hanging and removal of all wallpaper types, including textured and patterned.

A standard room typically takes 1-2 days including prep work, two coats, and drying time. Larger rooms or those needing extensive prep may take longer.
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 here ranges from sash window repair and original door work in the terraces to fitted storage and shelving in mansion flats, where rooms are generous but built-in storage is often non-existent. We also adjust and repair flat entrance doors and fire doors, and replace worn ironmongery and locks.

The usual W6 plumbing calls are taps, waste traps, running cisterns and radiator valves. In mansion flats there is an important limit: anything touching the soil stack or the building's risers is shared infrastructure and normally needs freeholder consent, so we will tell you when a job crosses that line instead of quietly cutting into it.

Filling valves, flush mechanisms and running toilets.
Isolating and fixing small leaks under sinks and basins.
Fixing dripping taps at the source.

Yes — dripping taps are one of our most common jobs. We replace washers, O-rings or the tap itself depending on the cause.

We aim to respond within 24 hours. For urgent leaks contact us directly by phone for the fastest response.
Common electrical work is replacing sockets, switches and light fittings, and adding lighting where it is straightforward to route. In older blocks and period houses we are careful about extending wiring that should not be extended, and anything notifiable under Part P goes to a registered electrician.

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.

We cover Hammersmith and the surrounding W postcodes for handyman work, repairs and maintenance:
Yes — W6 and the surrounding area, including Brook Green, Ravenscourt Park, Barons Court, Stamford Brook, Olympia and West Kensington.
Yes, and we are used to it. Blocks usually set permitted working hours, require the porter or managing agent to be notified, restrict lift use for materials and prohibit skips. We work within all of that, protect communal areas and take our waste away with us.
For decorating and ordinary repairs inside your flat, normally not. You will usually need consent for anything structural, or anything affecting the soil stack, risers, party walls or the building's shared services. We will flag it clearly if a job you have asked for falls into that category.
Yes — re-cording, freeing off, splicing decayed timber, draught-proofing and repainting. In a conservation area that is usually the right route as well as the permitted one.
We work in half days and full days, so a list of jobs gives much better value than a single call-out.
Yes — full public liability insurance and a 12-month workmanship guarantee on all work.
Send your list or call. We will confirm a time and a price, and check any block access requirements, before we come out.

We stand behind our work. If you're not satisfied with the quality of our workmanship within 12 months of completion, we'll make it right at no additional cost. This guarantee covers defects in our work, not normal wear and tear or damage caused by others.
