Handyman in Merton & Wimbledon.
Looking for a handyman in Wimbledon or elsewhere in Merton? I help with home repairs, flat-pack assembly, shelves, curtain poles and small decorating jobs. Send me your postcode and list so we can plan the work.
Find your town or neighbourhood
Tell me about your Merton jobHelp in Wimbledon and across Merton.
I cover Wimbledon, South Wimbledon, Raynes Park, Colliers Wood, Merton Park, Morden and Mitcham within Merton. For an awkward cupboard or drawer, start with home repairs; for a new wardrobe or desk, see furniture assembly. Send your full postcode and address so I can check the location and discuss availability.
Furniture assembly, fittings and repairs.
List each task with a quantity and priority. Tell me which materials you have and if one job depends on another, such as decorating before new fittings go up. I will discuss the scope and order of work with you.
- Small repairs and adjustments
- Loose handles, a drawer that sticks or cupboard doors that catch belong in a home repair enquiry. Describe what moves and when it started, and include photos of the surrounding material as well as the fitting.
- Flat-pack furniture assembly
- For furniture assembly, send the model, quantity and delivery date. Include the final room, available working space and required wall securing. Tell me if an old unit needs dismantling before the new one can stand there.
- Shelves, mirrors and curtain poles
- Send the product and wall details for shelves or mirrors. For curtain poles, add the window and curtain measurements. Include old fittings to remove and the finish wanted around redundant holes.
- Finishing a room
- For painting and decorating, separate the walls, ceilings and woodwork on your list. Include surface damage, the exact paint and any new flooring or furniture delivery that affects the order of work.
Put the jobs in a useful order.
Example enquiry, replace these details with your own:
- Remove an old curtain pole and repair the fixing holes. I would like the wall repainted before a new pole goes up.
- Assemble one bookcase after delivery, including any manufacturer-required wall securing.
- Adjust a kitchen cupboard door that catches. I can send hinge and wider cabinet photos.
Add quantities, product links, your priorities and delivery dates. We can discuss the work and drying gaps before arranging the appointment.
Plan deliveries and the order of work.
In a combined job list, put deliveries, assembly, repairs and decorating in the order they depend on one another. Old fixing holes may need repair and paint before a new pole goes up. Mention shared entrances, stairs or lifts. Merton's parking lookup separates Wimbledon, Raynes Park, Morden and other local zones: check the actual address and hours rather than assuming one rule applies across the borough. Check any event restrictions for the visit date too.

A few useful answers.
Know what to send and what to expect before arranging your job.
Do you cover Wimbledon, Morden and Mitcham?
Yes, these areas are within my Merton borough coverage, alongside Raynes Park, Colliers Wood and Merton Park. Send your full postcode and address so I can check the location and discuss the work and availability. The coverage overview shows the three boroughs.
What should I send for a list of different jobs?
Send me each task, quantity and priority, then add product links and clear photos. Tell me which materials you already have and which jobs depend on another task. The example job list above shows how to include assembly, repairs and decorating together.
Are parking arrangements the same across Merton?
No single arrangement covers every address. Merton Council's lookup lets you check the road, zone and hours. Send the applicable parking or private-access details with your enquiry, and check any temporary restrictions for the visit date. If the job involves large furniture or a mirror, also describe the route from the vehicle to its final room.
Can we plan the work around a furniture delivery?
Tell me the expected delivery date, product link and other jobs on your list. I can discuss the sequence with you, but assembly depends on the packages and required components being available. Let me know if delivery changes before the visit. My contact form has space for these details.
Can several jobs be completed in one visit?
Send me the whole list so I can discuss the likely scope and sequence. Quantities, missing parts, drying time, access or specialist work may affect the arrangements. We need to agree which tasks the visit includes rather than assume everything fits into one appointment. Use the Merton job-list example to prepare your details.
Should I buy paint, fixings and replacement parts myself?
Tell me what you already have, including product names and any existing paint details. We can agree who supplies the remaining materials once the scope is clear. Avoid guessing at a replacement part or wall fixing before we discuss the actual job. Start with my service overview and send me the details.
Can I include a water-filter job with my other home repairs?
Yes, send me the filter model, product link and whether you want installation, replacement or a cartridge change, alongside your other tasks. The exact system and installation scope need checking, including whether a qualified plumber is required. My water-filter fitting guide explains the cupboard, tap and maintenance details to gather.
What are your handyman rates?
Labour is £50 for the first hour, then £25 per additional 30 minutes, including VAT. The minimum labour charge is £50 including VAT, even if the work takes less than an hour. Materials are charged at their net cost (excluding VAT) plus 10%, then 20% VAT. There is no separate travel or parking charge. Send your job list and postcode so we can discuss the work, materials and total before booking. See how the rates and quote work.
How much will my Merton handyman job cost?
For a Merton or Wimbledon enquiry, list each job with a quantity and priority. Include product links, photos, materials already available and delivery dates. I can then discuss the order of work and what the appointment includes. A longer list is not a promise that every task fits into one visit, and the price is agreed before booking.
