Home / Areas / Kingston upon Thames
KT1 and KT2 — Kingston town centre, Canbury, Norbiton, Coombe and Hampton Wick. Handyman work, garden maintenance and locksmithing, all from one person rather than whoever an app sends that morning.
Kingston is terraces and flats far more than it is detached houses, and that shapes the work. Victorian terraces in Canbury and Norbiton have settled over a century, so doors bind and nothing is square. Flats above shops have their own access quirks. Gardens are small, which makes them quick and cheap to keep on top of.
What we get called out for
Alcove shelving in Victorian terraces, where no two walls agree and a shelf cut to the measurement at one end will not fit at the other. Doors eased and rehung, flat-pack in flats, and fixings into solid brick rather than plasterboard, which needs the right drill rather than more force.
From £60Small courtyard and terrace gardens, which are an hour rather than a day — tidied, cut back, pots refreshed, and the green waste taken away because there is rarely anywhere to put it. Hedges and boundary shrubs kept off the neighbours.
From £60Front-door cylinders upgraded to anti-snap, lock changes on moving in, and internal door locks. In a converted house or a flat above a shop we can do your own door; shared and communal doors need the freeholder or managing agent, not us.
From £90Coverage
About eight miles from Oatlands along the river road. Booking ahead is the safer bet.
Verbatim
“Excellent service from Liam. Called with my enquiry and fitted me in on the same day. A very polite gentleman and would definitely use his services again.”
Questions
Less reliably than the Surrey towns closer to our base — Kingston is about eight miles away and the traffic is what it is. Book a day or two ahead and it is straightforward.
Visits start at £60, which covers the first hour on site. Locksmithing starts at £90. Anything longer or anything needing parts is agreed with you before we carry on — you will not get a surprise at the end.
No. There is no separate callout charge and no travel surcharge for any of the towns we cover. The starting price is the starting price.
