Explore this service ↗WESTMINSTER IN PRACTICE
Small jobs. A little more planning.
The repair is inside your flat.
The access starts downstairs.
In a mansion block, a shelf installation can depend on lift space, a concierge handover and where materials can be unloaded. Include these details with the job photographs, not as a surprise on arrival.
For a period conversion, show the wall finish and existing fixings. A picture hook and a loaded bookshelf make very different demands on older plaster. In a furnished rental, identify who approves replacements before a loose fitting becomes a larger repair.

QUICK ANSWERS
A few things to know upfront
What can a handyman do?
Suitable assembly, adjustment, mounting and small non-regulated repairs.
Can I combine several jobs?
Yes, when the reviewed list fits the agreed tools, materials and visit time.
Do I supply materials?
Confirm first; supplied products must be complete and compatible.
How long is the appointment?
The task list and access determine the planned duration.
Can furniture be assembled?
Yes. Product links and the number of items help define the work.
Can shelves or a TV be mounted?
Subject to the wall, load, fixing points and equipment being suitable.
Are rental properties covered?
Yes. State the access contact and who approves the repairs.
What does a Westminster visit cost?
General handyman work is quoted after task review; assembly has its own guide prices.

THE DETAILS OF YOUR VISIT
Westminster handyman questions
Can the shelf and door jobs in my flat share one visit?
Send both on the initial list. Alesta checks the tools, parts and time needed before confirming which tasks can be combined; a damaged frame or unsuitable wall can change the plan.
What should I photograph in a Westminster mansion block?
Show the defect close up, the whole item and the route into the room. Mention the floor, lift arrangements and any building access window when requesting the visit.
How is a Westminster handyman quotation worked out?
The quote follows the reviewed jobs rather than a universal hourly price. Task count, labour, materials, access and mounting requirements influence the total. Ask which items and costs are included.
Should I order brackets or replacement handles first?
Share the specification before buying where possible. A bracket must suit the screen and wall; replacement hardware needs to fit the existing fixing points and dimensions.
Can you assemble furniture in an occupied bedroom?
Furniture assembly is available. Send the product details and explain how much working space is available. Keep the route and assembly area clear without trying to move heavy items unsafely.
Will a small wall repair include repainting the room?
Not automatically. Filling, surface repair and decoration are different scopes. Identify the finish you expect so any making good, paint supply or colour matching can be discussed separately.
Can my tenant provide access while I approve the work?
Tell Alesta who will open the property and who can approve the scope or changes. A written repair list helps keep the visit separate from additional work that has not been authorised.
Does a TV installation include a new electrical socket?
A new socket is electrical work, not part of a general mounting assumption. Request the appropriate electrician service and have cable routes, trunking and making good priced explicitly.
What if the handyman finds a split panel or missing part?
The intended task may need to be deferred or revised. Existing damage and incomplete products should be identified before fitting proceeds; replacement parts or further work need agreement.
How should I plan parking and arrival?
Provide the postcode, entrance instructions, stairs or lift details and any loading restrictions you know about. Ask how these affect the appointment and quote rather than assuming parking is included.
TURN THE LIST INTO A PLAN
What would you like working properly again?
Send the jobs waiting in your Westminster property, with photos and access details. We’ll clarify the suitable work before you commit.
