Single rooms, hallways, ceilings, woodwork and the tired patches a whole redecoration doesn't justify. Filled, sanded and caulked before a brush is loaded, cut in by hand rather than taped, and the room put back the way we found it.
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.
A cheap decorating job is cheap because of what got skipped underneath. Filling, sanding and caulking is most of the labour, and it's the whole difference between a wall that looks good and one that looks good in photographs.
Furniture moved or sheeted, floors covered properly. Then filling, sanding, caulking the gaps along skirtings and architraves, and spot-priming any bare or stained patches.
Edges, corners and the line between wall and ceiling cut in with a brush rather than masked with tape. It takes longer and it's the reason the finish reads as a professional job.
Two full coats as standard unless the colour change needs three, and we'll say so upfront. Then sheets lifted, floors vacuumed, and the room usable the same evening.
We're a handyman decorating service: single rooms, individual jobs and touch-ups, done properly. For a whole-house refurbishment we'll tell you honestly that you want a dedicated decorating firm.
Filled, sanded and rolled to an even finish. Ceilings cut in cleanly at the wall line, with stained or previously bare patches spot-primed first so they don't flash through.
Skirtings, architraves, doors, window boards and stair spindles. Sanded, primed where bare, and finished in eggshell, satin or gloss as you prefer.
The awkward high work most people avoid. We bring the right access equipment rather than balancing a ladder on the stairs.
Cracks raked out and filled, nail holes and old fixings made good, flaking paint stripped back, and fresh caulk along the joints before anything is painted.
Scuffed hallways, patched-up wall repairs, marks left after furniture has moved out. The small jobs a full decorating quote makes uneconomic.
Front doors, window frames, fascias within safe reach and garden woodwork. Prepared and finished in an exterior-grade system that will last.
Most decorating enquiries we take are for a single space or a specific problem, which is exactly where a handyman decorator makes sense.
A nursery before a baby arrives, a home office, a bedroom that's been the same colour since you moved in. In and out in a day or two.
A fast, clean repaint that resets a let for the next tenant. Scuffs made good, walls back to a lettable finish, on a schedule that fits the void.
After a wall's been chased, a TV taken down, a shelf removed or a leak repaired. Filled, sanded and painted so the repair disappears.
The questions most people ask before letting a decorator into their home. Answered upfront.
Every handyman is DBS-checked, reference-verified and turns up 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, and standard issue for letting agents who ask.
You get a figure for the work before we start. If the job turns out to be bigger than the photos suggested, we stop and tell you rather than quietly running up the clock.
Dust sheets down, offcuts and packaging taken away, and the floor left as we found it. The job isn't done until the room is usable again.
A direct line to talk through colours, coverage, and how much preparation the room actually needs.
We quote the whole job — preparation, materials and finish — as one figure, so there's no separate bill for the filling once we're on site.
Walls, ceiling and woodwork in one room, prepared and given two coats. Usually a day, sometimes two if the preparation is heavy.
The high, awkward, high-traffic space that transforms a house more than any single room. Priced with the access equipment included.
Priced as a half day for the small repairs and scuffs that don't justify redecorating a whole room.
Paint can be supplied by you or sourced by us at cost. We'll tell you how much you need so you're not left with four unopened tins.
Tell us what needs doing and the office will come back with a fixed price and a slot that suits you.
Period cornicing in Kensington, tall Victorian hallways in Dulwich, family houses across Bromley and Sevenoaks.

“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.”
