Start with what you can see
Find the right repair in South Kensington
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 South Kensington
Planning the repair at your South Kensington property
For a South Kensington mansion flat or converted home, plan repairs around building access and existing finishes. A fault at a window or outside wall may need the freeholder’s involvement as well as access inside the flat.
Small repairs within building rules
For mounting, assembly or minor adjustment in an apartment, send the item dimensions and any rules on drilling or noisy work. Service cupboards, fire doors and shared fixtures need their own competent repair route; they are not assumed to be ordinary handyman tasks.
Fixing items without sacrificing original features
For hanging or minor repairs near cornices, panelling or old joinery, mark the intended position in a photograph and provide the item weight. The fixing method and any restrictions on altering protected fabric must be considered first.
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
Give the flat number and floor, contractor access rules and any permission already obtained. Explain whether the work changes an exterior feature or repairs the existing one.
Can a handyman trim my flat entrance fire door?
A fire door needs a competent fire-door assessment and suitable repair specification. Flag its function when enquiring so it is not booked as routine internal-door adjustment.
Can a heavy mirror be fixed directly to decorative plaster?
The supporting construction and load need assessment. Decorative plaster alone should not be assumed to provide a suitable fixing, and a different position or support may be needed.
