Handyman Services in Harrow & North West London

A handyman visit from EliteShires Property Services clears the list of small jobs in one go: shelves, TV mounting, doors, locks, sealant, minor tiling repairs, flat-pack assembly, and smoke and carbon monoxide alarm fitting. We charge from £45 per hour across Harrow, Kenton, Stanmore and Edgware, and a half or full day is better value for a list. Anything that needs a qualified trade is flagged first.

You do not have one job. You have eleven: a door that catches, a shelf that never went up, a toilet seat, a curtain pole, a cracked tile, an alarm that chirps at night. Getting a separate trade out for each is absurd and expensive.

Most people do not have one job, they have eleven small ones. A door that catches, a shelf that needs putting up, a toilet seat, a curtain pole, a cracked tile, a dripping outside tap, a smoke alarm that chirps. Getting a separate trade out for each is absurd, which is why the sensible way to buy this is by the half day.

What counts as a handyman job?

Flat-pack and furniture assembly, shelving and brackets, TV wall mounting, picture and mirror hanging, curtain poles and blinds, door easing, adjusting and rehanging, lock and handle changes, draught proofing, silicone and sealant renewal, minor tiling repairs, filling and touching up, smoke and carbon monoxide alarm fitting, and the general category of things that are quicker to do than to describe.

Buy it by the half day

A single small job carries the same travel and setup as five, so one job at an hourly rate is poor value. Write the list, send it over, and we will tell you whether it is a half day or a full day. Anything we cannot get through, we will tell you before we start rather than at four o'clock.

How it works, step by step

1. Send us the list, all of it, not just the big ones
2. We tell you honestly whether it is a half day or a full day
3. We arrive with the right tools and consumables for the whole list
4. Anything needing a different trade is flagged before we start, not after
5. You get the list cleared in one visit

What you end up with: The whole list done in a single visit at a half-day or day rate, and a straight answer about which items genuinely need an electrician, a plumber or a Gas Safe engineer instead.

Why people trust us

• Gas work, electrical inspection and energy assessment carried out under the relevant registrations, ask to see the card
• Every price confirmed before we attend, and not revised afterwards
• Coded observations quoted line by line, so you can take the work elsewhere
• A time slot rather than a morning-or-afternoon window
• Work photographed before and after, and reported
• We tell you when you do not need something we sell

We are building a review profile under this name and would rather show you none than borrow someone else's. Ask us for references from landlords and we will put you in touch.

Who this is for

Homeowners with a backlog, landlords clearing an end-of-tenancy snagging list, and agents who need a property turned around quickly.

Mistakes we see most often

Booking a single small job at an hourly rate. The travel and setup cost the same whether we do one job or eight, so one job is poor value. Write the list. The other is assuming everything on the list is a handyman job; consumer unit work, new circuits and anything on a gas appliance need the relevant trade and certificate, and we would rather tell you that before we arrive.

What affects the price

How long the list takes, not how many items are on it. Five small jobs in one room is a shorter visit than three jobs spread across a house and a garden. Send the full list and we will tell you honestly whether it is a half day or a full day.

Whichever applies, you are given the figure before we attend and we do not revise it afterwards. If something genuinely unforeseen turns up mid-job we stop and tell you rather than adding it to the invoice.

Landlords, voids and end of tenancy

The gap between tenancies is when a snagging list is cheapest to clear. Send us the check-out report and we will price the list, do it in one visit, and photograph the completed items so you have evidence for any deposit deduction. We can coordinate it with the EPC, EICR and gas check so the property is certified and repaired in the same window.

What we will not do

We will not quote for something we are not the right trade for, and we will not pad a list to fill a day. If your eleven jobs are really a three-hour visit, that is what we will charge you for.
