Start with what you can see
Find the right repair in Balham
You do not need to know the technical name. Choose the description that fits, then see the repair options and what to include in your enquiry.
Can a handyman fit shelves, curtain poles and a TV bracket?
Send the complete list so the tasks can be planned in one visit where practical. Include product links, dimensions and wall photos. Wall construction, item weight and access determine the fixings and time; new electrical wiring needs the appropriate trade.
Can you hang a heavy mirror on a plasterboard wall?
The wall and item need checking before a fixing method can be agreed. Share the mirror’s weight, dimensions and mounting instructions, plus a photo of the wall. A heavy item may need support beyond ordinary plugs; do not assume supplied fixings suit every wall.
My internal door sticks or will not close. Can it be adjusted?
A small adjustment may help an ordinary internal door that rubs or fails to latch. Tell us where it catches and whether the problem appeared suddenly. Fire doors, damaged frames and specialist hardware need a different scope.
The work, explained
How we can help
- Picture hanging, shelving, curtain poles and suitable mounting work.
- Minor internal door, cabinet hinge and handle adjustments.
- Prioritised lists of small repairs for homes and rental properties.
A small-jobs visit covers the agreed list and time. Extra tasks, specialist work, wall reinforcement, materials and additional attendance require approval. Do not assume every task fits within the starting charge.
Help us plan your visit
What to include in your enquiry
- List quantities, dimensions, weights and the rooms involved; mark essential tasks first.
- Tell us what materials and fixings you already have, and who can approve drilling or changes.
- Wall construction, concealed services and load must be assessed before mounting. Fire doors, electrical, gas and structural work require the right specialist.

Handyman & small home repairs in Balham
Planning the repair at your Balham property
For a Balham home above commercial premises, explain the entrance arrangement and any noise-sensitive hours. Inside an occupied flat, plan repairs around the bathroom, kitchen and rooms that must stay usable.
A clear list of small jobs
Group hanging, shelving, assembly and internal adjustments into an ordered list. Give item sizes and indicate which products are already on site. This lets the visit be planned around access, fixings and available time.
Mounting around hidden services and cabinetry
Provide the proposed fixing position, item dimensions and any available installation drawings. Existing pipes, cables, tile edges and cabinet construction affect the mounting method. Supplying a bracket does not establish that the wall can carry it.
Example work, explained
Fitting a shelf that suits the wall
- The problem
- A new shelf needs fitting, or an existing one is loose or uneven. The wall construction and intended load determine the right fixing method.
- The work involved
- Check the wall, concealed-service risks, shelf instructions and intended use. Agree the position, fit suitable brackets and fixings, and make good within the agreed scope.
- Checks and next steps
- Check the shelf is level and the fittings are secure, then explain the manufacturer's load guidance and any limits of the installation.

Help us prepare the right visit
Send an overview of each room and a close-up of the fault. Include appliance models, fitted-panel access and a complete list of small jobs to be priced together.
Does the £85 starting charge cover my whole list?
It covers an eligible small, straightforward fault under the stated offer, not unlimited tasks. Send the complete list so labour, materials and any additional time can be priced clearly.
Can you mount my television above concealed pipework?
The position needs assessment for safe fixing and the intended load. An alternative position or mounting arrangement may be needed; do not drill exploratory holes before the visit.
