Handyman in Wandsworth
A handyman in Putney or Battersea works across two building eras. Battersea's Shaftesbury Park Estate alone has over a thousand Victorian houses, and terraces and conversions fill the streets between the commons and in Southfields, where solid walls and older plaster are common and stair turns limit what can be carried up assembled. The towers of Nine Elms and Battersea Power Station can mix plasterboard partitions with concrete, and some buildings set rules on drilling. Handyman jobs cover TV mounting, flat-pack, shelves, doors and curtain rails. The rate is £65 an hour, minimum three hours (£195); for taps or wiring, describe the fault and we confirm whether a qualified specialist is needed.
Door alignment, lock changes, draught-strip fitting, cabinet handle changes, drawer rail fixes, tile re-grouting, silicone sealing, smoke alarm replacement.
Flat-pack furniture (IKEA, Made.com, Wayfair, Habitat), TV brackets up to 65", curtain rails, blinds, picture hangs, shelving units, mirror mounts.
Tell us about taps, fittings or other household repairs when requesting a quote. We review the scope and confirm whether a qualified specialist is needed.
Wandsworth local information
The Boat Race starts at Putney and next runs on Sunday 11 April 2027. During the Wimbledon Championships, Southfields is the most convenient Tube station for the All England Club. Wandsworth can suspend parking bays for both events, so for a job near Putney Embankment or in Southfields, check the dates before you book.
Wandsworth mixes all-day controlled zones, for example 9.30am–5.30pm on weekdays and sometimes Saturdays, with one-hour zones meant to deter commuters. Double yellow lines apply at any time. A council bay suspension for a domestic removal needs seven clear working days' notice, not counting weekends or bank holidays, and applications after 3pm count from the next working day.
Northcote ward, between Wandsworth and Clapham Commons, is 49% terraced houses and 27% flats in converted houses; Tooting Bec and Southfields wards are both over 44% terraced (Census 2021). Battersea's Shaftesbury Park Estate is a conservation area of over a thousand Victorian houses. Measure large furniture against the hall and the stair turn before moving day.
Nine Elms ward is 98% purpose-built flats (Census 2021), and the Northern line has served Nine Elms and Battersea Power Station stations since September 2021. The Congestion Charge boundary follows Vauxhall Bridge and Vauxhall Bridge Road, so Nine Elms sits outside it. The ULEZ is different: it has covered every London borough since August 2023.
At the time of writing (November 2026), Wandsworth charges £24.90 to collect up to four bulky items, plus £11.10 for each extra item; landlord collections cost £106.70 for one to four. Items must be at street level, because crews will not collect from inside. Free Mega Skip Days run twice a month, and Smugglers Way accepts bulky items free.
About 36% of Wandsworth households rent privately (Census 2021). The University of Roehampton campus is in SW15, and the council runs eight-hour parking bays around St George's Hospital in Tooting. If you are moving out, book the end of tenancy clean and the van for dates before your check-out appointment, not after it.
