Handyman services for the white-stucco terraces and mansion flats of SW7. Careful work in homes where the finish matters.
Every handyman is DBS-checked, reference-verified and uniformed before they work in your home.
You know what the job costs before we pick up a tool. No hourly meter, no surprise on the invoice.
A fully stocked electric van means the whole list gets done in one visit, not spread across three appointments.
Across Queen's Gate, Cromwell Road and the streets behind Hyde Park, Kensington's stucco-fronted houses and mansion flats are largely conservation-area stock. Original joinery, fine plasterwork and shared access all shape how a job gets done, and we plan for them before we arrive.
Wardrobes, beds, desks and shelving built, levelled and anchored to the wall. One of the jobs we're called out for most often across Kensington, and the packaging goes with us.
TVs, shelves, mirrors, pictures and curtain poles fixed level and fixed to hold. We detect what's behind the wall first, which matters more in SW7 than most people expect.
Sticking doors eased, new doors hung, locks changed and upgraded, handles and hinges replaced. The jobs you notice every day until they're fixed.
Single rooms, hallways, woodwork and the scuffs a full redecoration doesn't justify. Filled, sanded and caulked properly before a brush is loaded.
Gutters cleared by hand and flushed through while we watch, and patios, paths and driveways washed back to the stone. Best done twice a year in Kensington.
Fence panels and posts replaced, gates rehung so they latch first time, decking repaired and re-oiled, sheds built. Outdoor carpentry in timber that will last.
Lath and plaster, original joinery and fine cornicing. We check what's behind the wall before we drill and use fixings the fabric will take.
Porter and concierge protocols, lift bookings and permitted working hours understood before we arrive, not discovered on the doorstep.
Marble, hardwood, specialist paint and antique furniture. Dust sheets down first and the mess extracted at source rather than swept up after.
Discreet, key-holding access. Repairs and maintenance handled between your stays so the flat is right whenever you arrive.
Original detail that deserves a careful hand. We'll flag where a job needs consent rather than quietly getting on with it.
Dot-and-dab walls, concrete soffits and glass. Different construction, different anchors, and we carry both.
The questions most people ask before letting a tradesman into their home. Answered upfront.
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.
Comprehensive public liability and accidental-damage cover on every visit. Certificates available on request before the first job, which managing agents often want.
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.
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.
A direct line for Kensington access arrangements, parking, or anything else that's quicker to talk through than write.
Pricing follows the size of the list, not the clock. One job is quoted on its own; several are almost always cheaper booked together.
One item priced on its own. The way most Kensington clients start - a TV mounted, a lock changed, a wardrobe built.
Three or four small jobs in one visit. Cheaper than pricing each separately, and it clears most of a household list in a morning.
The whole list at once, which is what most Kensington 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.
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!”
“Low-tox, plant-based products and a fully electric fleet. A lighter footprint, for the same high standard of clean.”
