Painting, carpentry, basic plumbing and electrics, repairs and flat-pack — for houses and flats across Willesden, Willesden Green and Kensal Rise
Willesden is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, a very large share of them split into flats. That means two kinds of handyman call: the ordinary house list, and the flat-conversion list — communal hallway decorating, doors that no longer close properly in a converted layout, and the endless small problems created by services that were extended rather than designed.
We cover NW10 regularly for both. A lot of our work here is for landlords and managing agents — between-tenancy make-good, touch-up decorating, replacing damaged doors and locks, and clearing snagging lists — alongside plenty of ordinary homeowner jobs.
We book half days and full days with the price agreed before we start, and everything is done by insured tradespeople under our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
In NW10 a lot of the painting is communal — hallways, staircases and landings in converted houses, which take heavy wear and need a hard-wearing finish rather than a soft matt. Alongside that we do full between-tenancy redecorations, ceiling stain-blocking after leaks from the flat above, and exterior work to front doors, bays and render.
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.
Thorough prep work including filling, sanding, and priming for perfect results.
Accent walls, decorative finishes, and special effects to make your space unique.
Professional advice on color schemes and paint types for your specific needs.
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.
Willesden carpentry is mostly repair and security. Doors eased and re-hung where a conversion has left them binding, fire doors and closers adjusted so they actually shut, locks and ironmongery replaced, and damaged frames made good. We also fit a lot of shelving and storage in the smaller converted flats where space has to work hard.

Internal doors, frames, and all hardware fitted perfectly
Fix and restore your valued wooden pieces

Absolutely. From built-in wardrobes to custom tables, we create bespoke pieces to your exact specifications.
The common calls in NW10 conversions are leaking waste traps, running cisterns, dripping taps and the silicone and shower seals that fail quietly and show up as a stain on someone else's ceiling. We also fit and reconnect washing machines and dishwashers, which get moved around a lot in flats.
Kitchen and bathroom taps, including mixer taps.
Filling valves, flush mechanisms and running toilets.
Isolating and fixing small leaks under sinks and basins.
Fixing dripping taps at the source.
Fitting new showerheads and hoses.
Replacing faulty stop valves under sinks and toilets.
Clearing or replacing blocked or leaking wastes.
Releasing air locks and improving heating efficiency.
Fitting towel rails, toilet roll holders and soap dispensers.
We focus on basic plumbing maintenance and repairs — tap replacements, leak repairs, cistern fixes and similar tasks. For full plumbing installations or boiler work we recommend a Gas Safe registered plumber.
Yes — dripping taps are one of our most common jobs. We replace washers, O-rings or the tap itself depending on the cause.
We can replace toilet seats, cistern parts and flush mechanisms. For full toilet replacement including new waste connections we recommend a qualified plumber.
We aim to respond within 24 hours. For urgent leaks contact us directly by phone for the fastest response.
Regular Willesden electrical work is replacing worn sockets and switches, swapping light fittings in communal hallways and flats, and fitting sensor or timer lighting to shared entrances. Anything notifiable under Part P — consumer units, new circuits — goes to a registered electrician, and in converted buildings we will also flag wiring that has been extended once too often.
Swapping ceiling lights, pendants and spotlights.
Replacing faulty or damaged switches like for like.
Replacing damaged or discoloured sockets.
Upgrading standard sockets to USB-integrated versions.
Wired doorbell fitting and replacement.
Replacing outdoor security and porch lights.
Battery-operated and mains-replacement smoke alarms.
Installation of CO detectors.
Replacing damaged aerial sockets.
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.
Yes — we can replace existing outdoor light fittings like for like. New outdoor circuits require a Part P electrician.

We cover Willesden and the surrounding NW postcodes for handyman work, repairs and property maintenance:
Yes — NW10 and the surrounding area, including Willesden Green, Kensal Green, Kensal Rise, Dollis Hill, Neasden, Harlesden and Cricklewood.
Regularly, and it is a large part of our NW10 work. Between-tenancy make-good, communal area decorating, door and lock repairs and snagging lists are all standard for us. We price the whole list up front and work to your changeover date.
Yes. Communal areas take much heavier wear than a flat interior, so they want a durable finish and proper preparation. We work around residents and keep access clear while we do it.
Usually, yes. Doors bind because frames have moved or were never hung square in the first place. Easing, planing and re-hanging normally solves it. Where it is a fire door we make sure the closer and seals still work as they should rather than just making it shut.
We book half days and full days, so a list gives you much better value than a single call-out.
Yes — full public liability insurance and a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Usually within a few days for handyman work. Send the list and we will confirm a time and price.
Something bigger — a whole-house project rather than a repair list? See full house refurbishment in Willesden.
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.
