Life in London moves quickly, and it’s easy for those “little jobs” around the home or office to pile up. From dripping taps to flat-pack furniture, many tasks never quite make it to the top of the to-do list. That’s where hiring an experienced and professional handyman makes all the difference.
Handymen provide affordable, reliable help for a wide range of jobs — saving you time, stress and, often, money. Here are ten common tasks our WaterGuys handyman can take care of for you.
Fixing Dripping Taps and Minor Plumbing Jobs
Leaky taps, blocked sinks and faulty flush mechanisms are everyday issues that a handyman can resolve quickly. While complex plumbing work requires a certified plumber, most basic plumbing repairs fall well within a handyman’s expertise.
Furniture Assembly and Flat-Pack Builds
Flat-pack furniture can be frustrating and time-consuming to put together. A handyman can assemble wardrobes, beds, shelves and more, ensuring they’re sturdy and safe to use.
Hanging Shelves, Pictures and Mirrors
From heavy mirrors to floating shelves, proper installation is key to safety and appearance. A handyman will have the right tools to get the job done without damaging your walls.
Decorating Touch-Ups
Scuffed paintwork, worn skirting boards and minor plaster repairs can quickly bring down the look of a room. WaterGuys handyman service can refresh walls and finishes without the need for a full decorating service.
Door and Window Repairs
Sticking doors, squeaky hinges or draughty windows? These are exactly the kinds of problems a handyman can resolve, improving comfort and security in your home.
Small Carpentry Jobs
Handymen can carry out minor carpentry tasks such as building custom shelves, fitting kitchen units, or repairing wooden furniture. These jobs often don’t require a specialist carpenter, but benefit from skilled hands.
Basic Electrical Tasks
Replacing sockets, light switches or fittings is all part of a handyman’s remit. While major electrical work must be done by a certified electrician, our handymen can handle the smaller, non-certified tasks safely and efficiently.
TV Wall Mounting and Cable Management
Mounting TVs and hiding unsightly cables is a popular handyman request. Proper installation ensures your screen is secure and your space looks neat.
Odd Jobs Around the Home
From fitting blinds and curtain poles to assembling garden furniture, handymen thrive on variety. Booking one visit for multiple small jobs is often the most efficient option.
Office and Commercial Support
Handymen aren’t just for households. Many businesses rely on them for tasks like assembling office furniture, installing noticeboards, or carrying out quick repairs. In busy Central London, having a reliable handyman service can keep your workspace safe and professional.
