What our customers say

5 stars rating

I had a few odd jobs around the house that I had been putting off for weeks, and The Better Handyman Ilford Ltd was a total lifesaver. They fixed a leaky tap, put up some shelves, and even helped with assembling some furniture. The handyman was professional, friendly, and worked efficiently. The pricing was clear, and I appreciated that they cleaned up afterward. I’ll definitely be calling them again for any future repairs. Great job!

Which areas across London and the M25 do you cover?
We operate throughout the Greater London area and across the M25 corridor. Our team is strategically positioned to handle jobs in central London as well as the surrounding home counties. If you are unsure if we cover your specific postcode, please reach out and we can confirm our availability in your neighborhood.
How do you calculate the cost of a job?
Pricing is based on the specific requirements of the task, including the time involved and any necessary materials. We provide a detailed quote before starting any work so that the costs are clear from the outset. We aim to be competitive and honest, ensuring you aren’t met with unexpected additions once the work is finished.
Will I need to provide any equipment or materials?
Generally, our team arrives fully equipped with the standard tools and supplies needed to complete the service. If your specific job requires bespoke materials or specialized parts, we can discuss this during the booking process. We can either source these for you or work with items you have already purchased.
How soon can you attend my property?
We understand that many tasks are time-sensitive. While our schedule varies depending on current demand, we usually aim to visit properties within a few days of your initial enquiry. For urgent matters, we do our best to find an earlier slot or provide a realistic timeframe so you can plan your day accordingly.
Do I need to be present while the work is being done?

As long as we have clear access to the work area and a way to secure the property afterwards, we can carry out the service while you are out. We are happy to discuss key collection or access arrangements during the booking stage.
