🔧 Top 10 Handyman Services Londoners Can’t Live Without

What Homeowners Are Really Calling For in 2025

In a busy city like London, time is gold ⏳—and DIY isn’t always the answer. Whether it’s a leaky tap, flat-pack furniture staring you down, or a TV still in its box, there comes a point when you just want to get it done. That’s where a reliable handyman comes in. 👨‍🔧

At My Handyman Services, we’ve helped thousands of Londoners tick off their to-do list. And we’re not the only ones—popular companies like Handyman Express, Handyman Service London, and Fantastic Handyman are also keeping busy with these top 10 tasks. 🛠️

🪑 1. Furniture Assembly (Yes, Flat-Packs!)

💡 Tip: Many customers also combine this with a move-in service or hire builders like Right Build Group for larger renovations.

📺 2. TV Wall Mounting & Shelf Hanging

Mounting a TV looks easy—until the bracket’s crooked or the wall’s crumbling. 😬
Whether it’s a flatscreen, a massive mirror, or floating shelves, our pros make it look perfect.
