TVs, floating shelves, mirrors, pictures, curtain poles and blinds. We check what's behind the wall before we drill, use the fixing your wall actually needs, and leave nothing crooked and no cables trailing.
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.
Almost every failed wall mount comes down to the same thing: the wrong fixing for the wall. The plugs in the box assume solid masonry. London houses very often aren't.
Detector over the wall first, every time, to locate studs, pipes and live cables. Plasterboard, dot-and-dab, lath and plaster and solid brick all behave differently and all need a different approach.
Studs where we can hit them, proper heavy-duty anchors where we can't. A 65-inch TV on a cantilever arm pulls hard at the top fixings, and we spec for that, not for the average.
Laser-levelled, load-tested before we let go, cables run in trunking or through the wall, and the dust vacuumed up as we drill rather than after.
From a single picture to a full media wall. All of it levelled, all of it fixed to hold.
Fixed, tilting and full-motion brackets on any wall type. We'll advise on height before we drill, because most people mount a TV too high and only notice a week later.
Cables run inside the wall where the construction allows, or in painted trunking where it doesn't. Sockets and aerial points relocated behind the screen where possible.
Floating shelves, alcove shelving and bracket systems, level along their length and rated for what you actually intend to put on them.
Large mirrors and framed pieces hung securely and squarely, with the right hanging system for the weight and the wall.
Single pieces or a full gallery wall, set out and spaced properly first so you're not left with a wall full of trial holes.
Poles, tracks, roller and Venetian blinds, fitted level and fixed into something solid rather than into bare plasterboard.
Wall mounting is the job that stalls because of one unknown: what's behind the plaster. We remove the unknown.
The screen arrived, the bracket came with it, and nobody fancies drilling into the chimney breast on a guess. It's a same-visit job for us.
Lath and plaster, dot-and-dab and solid Victorian brick all punish the wrong fixing. In SW3, SE21 and BR7 that's most of the housing stock, and it's what we work in daily.
Mounted securely now, removed and made good later. We fill, sand and touch in so the wall goes back to the landlord as it was.
The questions most people ask before letting a tradesman drill into their walls. 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 check your wall type, talk through cable routes, or price a full media wall.
One mount is a fixed price. A room full of shelves, pictures and poles is better booked as a block of time.
One TV, one mirror, one set of shelves. Priced as a job, including the fixings and the clear-up.
The screen mounted and the cables hidden in one visit. Quoted together, because doing them separately means drilling the same wall twice.
Gallery walls, a room of shelving, blinds throughout. Far better value than pricing each fixing on its own.
Brackets, blinds and poles can be supplied by you or sourced by us at cost, itemised on the quote either way.
Tell us what needs doing and the office will come back with a fixed price and a slot that suits you.
Period plaster in Chelsea, dot-and-dab in new-build Greenwich, solid brick in Bromley. We carry fixings for all of it.

“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.”
