Frequently asked questions
Everything you might want to know before booking your local Notting Hill handyman. Can't see your question? Just get in touch — we're happy to help.
We've pulled together the questions Notting Hill homeowners ask us most often, covering pricing, areas, insurance, timescales and how we work. Our aim is to make booking a handyman straightforward and stress-free, with no hidden charges and no jargon. If anything below doesn't quite answer your question, a quick call or message will sort it out.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No — we never charge a call-out fee. You'll receive a clear, no-obligation price for the work before we begin, so there are no surprises on the final bill.
What areas do you cover?
We cover Notting Hill and the wider W11, W10 and W2 area, including the Ladbroke Estate, Portobello Road, Westbourne Grove, Holland Park and North Kensington. See our areas page for the full list of streets.
Do you stand behind your work?
Yes. We take real pride in a job done properly, and we stand behind the work we carry out. If something isn't right, we'll come back and put it right.
Is there a job too small for you?
Never. From hanging a picture or easing a sticking door to a full refurbishment, we're happy to help with jobs of any size — the small ones often matter most to our customers.
How do I get a quote?
Simply call us or fill in the contact form with a few details about the work. We'll get back to you quickly with a free, no-obligation quote, and can often give an indication over the phone.
How quickly can you come out?
For most jobs we can offer an appointment within a day or two, and we keep slots free for urgent small emergencies such as leaks and lock-outs.
Do you work on period and listed properties?
Yes. Much of Notting Hill is made up of period and conservation-area homes, and we work on them every week — taking great care with sash windows, original features and shared communal spaces.
How do you price your work?
We give clear, upfront pricing. For most jobs we can offer a fixed price once we understand what's involved; for larger or unpredictable work we explain our rates so you stay in control of the budget.
Will you clean up afterwards?
Always. We put down dust sheets, remove our waste and leave your home as clean as we found it. A tidy finish is part of the service.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept the usual convenient payment methods including bank transfer and card. We'll confirm the details with you when we book the work in.
Can you handle several jobs in one visit?
Yes — that's one of the biggest advantages of a multi-skilled handyman. We'll happily work through a snagging list of different tasks in a single visit wherever possible, saving you time and money.
Do you guarantee your work?
We stand behind everything we do. If something isn't right, we'll put it right — that accountability is a big part of why our customers keep coming back.
