A Willow Alexander handyman at work in Dulwich
South London · SE21

Handyman services for the family homes, larger detached houses and Dulwich Village periods of SE21.

Vetted, trusted tradesmen

Every handyman is DBS-checked, reference-verified and uniformed before they work in your home.

A fixed price, agreed first

You know what the job costs before we pick up a tool. No hourly meter, no surprise on the invoice.

Every tool on the van

A fully stocked electric van means the whole list gets done in one visit, not spread across three appointments.

Dulwich · SE21

Local tradesmen who know the housing stock.

From Dulwich Village through to Herne Hill and East Dulwich, SE21 is family houses with long job lists - flat-pack in the children's rooms, a gate that drags, gutters under mature trees, and a hallway that has taken a decade of bicycles.

Properties we work in around Dulwich

We know what's behind the wall.

Family houses

The rolling list that never quite gets finished. Doors, shelves, flat-pack, taps and gates, worked through in one visit rather than one at a time.

Larger detached homes

More doors, more windows, more gutter to clear and more garden boundary. Usually a full day, and much better value that way.

Period & character homes

Original doors that have moved with the house, sash windows and timber that needs easing rather than forcing. Careful, reversible fixes first.

New-build estates

Plasterboard and dot-and-dab throughout, which is exactly where the fixings in the box fail. We bring anchors rated for the load.

Homes with gardens

Fence panels, gates, decking and sheds. The outdoor jobs that arrive all at once after a storm and are best fixed before winter.

Lettings & rentals

Between-tenancy repairs and the check-out report list, handled on a schedule with one invoice and no need for you to attend.

How we work

Vetted tradesmen. Real insurance. Fixed prices.

The questions most people ask before letting a tradesman into their home. Answered upfront.

Vetted and uniformed

Every handyman is DBS-checked, reference-verified and arrives in Willow Alexander uniform in a branded van. You know who's at the door before you open it.

Fully insured, properly

Comprehensive public liability and accidental-damage cover on every visit. Certificates available on request before the first job, which managing agents often want.

A price before we start

You get a figure for the work up front. If the job turns out bigger than the photos suggested we stop and tell you, rather than quietly running up the clock.

You don't need to be home

Useful to be there at the start so we can agree the job. After that you're welcome to leave us to it, and many regulars key-hold with us under a proper protocol.

How it's priced

One job, a half day, or a full day.

Pricing follows the size of the list, not the clock. One job is quoted on its own; several are almost always cheaper booked together.

Single job

One item priced on its own. The way most Dulwich clients start - a TV mounted, a lock changed, a wardrobe built.

Half day

Three or four small jobs in one visit. Cheaper than pricing each separately, and it clears most of a household list in a morning.

Full dayRecommended

The whole list at once, which is what most Dulwich homes end up booking. The best value per job by a clear margin, and nothing is left over for next time.

Every quote comes back as a clear, itemised figure agreed before we start - no call-out fee, no hidden costs, no obligation.

Fixed-price quote

A few details. A real price.

Tell us what needs doing and the office will come back with a fixed price and a slot that suits you. A photo of the job always helps.

Replaced my shower curtain and rail with a glass screen, easy to book and cleared up after the job was finished. Would use again for other bits that are outside of my DIY capabilities.

What a lovely man! Thank you for coming to fix my skirting boards and with a smile. I'll be using Willow Alexander again and just saw they clean windows too!

Questions

Questions from Dulwich clients.

How much does a handyman cost in Dulwich?
We price the job, not the hour, so you know the figure before we start. If you have a list of small jobs, a half-day or full-day rate is usually much better value than pricing each one separately, and we'll say so.
Which Dulwich postcodes do you cover?
We cover SE21 and the surrounding streets across Dulwich. If you're nearby and not sure, just ask - we usually do.
Can you do several jobs in one visit?
That's the way we'd rather you booked. Every van carries the full kit, so a shelf, a sticking door, a dripping tap and a flat-pack wardrobe all get done in the same appointment. Send the whole list and we'll tell you what fits in a day.
Do you supply the materials?
Fixings, wall plugs, screws, sealant and filler come as part of the job. Anything specified - a lock, a TV bracket, paint, fence panels - you can buy yourself, or we'll source it and pass it on at cost, itemised on the quote.
What can't you do?
Anything that legally needs a registered trade. We don't take on notifiable electrical work, gas work or structural alterations, and we'll tell you that before you book rather than after.
How quickly can you come out to Dulwich?
Most non-urgent jobs are booked within a few working days. We keep slots free each week for genuine emergencies - a failed lock, a leak, a door that won't secure. Call the office and we'll tell you honestly what's available.
