Walls and fixings
What is behind the plaster in Neasden
Most likely here
Lath and plaster — Pre-1930 terraces and mansion blocks
Locate the timber lath studs, fix through into the stud with 5 × 80 mm screws. Realistic load: up to 25 kg into a stud, nothing into the plaster itself. What goes wrong: a plasterboard plug in lime plaster crumbles the key and drops the whole panel.

Why Hello Services
Why Hello Services in Neasden
The right anchor for the wall
We carry the lot, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster on Brent bookings, with Brent parking rules in play — and 35% owner-occupation locally, which crumbles the key and drops the panel is what a rushed job leaves behind.
Permits and parking included
London Borough of Brent visitor permits and suspensions are arranged and paid for by us around Neasden (Jubilee).
Fixings and filler included
Screws, plugs, resin, silicone and filler come from the van, not from your invoice on Brent bookings. London Borough of Brent rules apply where the kerb or a bay suspension is involved.
Packaging leaves with us
Flat-pack cardboard, polystyrene and old fittings go in the van at the end of the NW10 visit for Neasden (NW10) addresses, with this being London Borough of Brent territory.
Rates and local costs
Hourly, half day or full day in Neasden
Hourly rate
£55
per hour, one-hour minimum
Best for one or two small jobs — a shelf, a leaking tap washer, a sticking door.
Half day
£190
up to 4 hours
The most-booked slot in London: three to six jobs from one list, one visit, one price.
Full day
£340
up to 8 hours
A snag list, a whole-flat furniture build, or a move-in day of fixings and fittings.
Same-day call-out
£95
first hour, then hourly
Lock, leak, door or safety job that cannot wait for a booked slot.
- Parking and permits
- London Borough of Brent visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged, paid for by us and already inside the quoted figure.
- Charging zones
- Brent sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are compliant, so ULEZ never appear on your invoice.
- Access and building rules
- Concierge sign-in, goods-lift booking and out-of-hours windows are handled before the visit, so the clock starts when the work does, not in reception.
Screws, plugs, resin anchors, hollow-wall fixings, silicone and filler come out of the van and are inside the price. Anything bought for you — a replacement tap, a door closer, a specific bracket — is charged at cost with the receipt attached to your invoice.
Scope
What is included in Neasden
Included in every visit
- A DBS-checked, insured fitter arriving in Neasden NW10 with their own tools, ladders and dust sheets.
- Fixings matched to lath and plaster — Locate the timber lath studs, fix through into the stud with 5 × 80 mm screws included — rather than whatever came in the flat-pack box.
- Detector before drill, laser line rather than eye, and a load test on each fixing before we sign off.
- north Circular access is difficult — we plan the Neasden NW10 arrival around it and settle permits with London Borough of Brent ourselves.
Not included — and why
- Gas appliances and pipework, which legally belong to a Gas Safe engineer.
- Part P notifiable electrics — new circuits and boards — go to a registered electrician, not a handyman.
- Structural alterations and anything needing London Borough of Brent building control sign-off.
- Any fixing that would disturb possible asbestos, which is surveyed first as a matter of policy.
The full scope policy, the complete fixings matrix and every fixed price sit on one page: handyman reference.

About the area
Neasden in context
1930s semis and terraces, post-war estates and new flats near the station around BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, and that stock decides the fixing: lath and plaster over timber studs first, everything else after. The Hindu temple, the North Circular and industrial estates beside 1930s housing, so NW10 jobs reward a scan over a guess.
Census 2021 counts 10,353 residents in Neasden, 51% of them in flats. 1930s semis and terraces, post-war estates and new flats near the station. Practically, that means lath and plaster and a fixing chosen for it. Our fitters answer it with locate the timber lath studs, fix through into the stud with 5 × 80 mm screws, which takes up to 25 kg into a stud, nothing into the plaster itself without creeping in the months afterwards.
With 47% private renting and 19% social renting locally, a good share of Neasden work is landlord snagging, safety fixings and putting fixing holes right before an inventory. Parking, lifts and sign-in are settled up front: north Circular access is difficult We arrange London Borough of Brent permits ourselves, and brent sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ.
- 51% flats, 49% houses across 3,586 Neasden households (ONS Census 2021)
- Lath and plaster dominates Neasden, so the van carries the anchors that suit it, not a generic pack
- Access: north Circular access is difficult
- We work the whole of NW10, including everything within walking distance of BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir

Questions
Neasden NW10 handyman questions
£55 an hour with a one-hour minimum, £190 for a half day and £340 for a full day in NW10 on the Neasden rounds, with BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir a few streets away. Fixed-price jobs start at £55 — flat-pack from £55, TV mounting from £85, shelving from £65 on NW10 jobs, with 47% of NW10 homes being privately rented. Send the list and we confirm one written figure around Neasden (Jubilee).
Yes. Locally that usually means lath and plaster — locate the timber lath studs, fix through into the stud with 5 × 80 mm screws, holding around up to 25 kg into a stud, nothing into the plaster itself across NW10 — and a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, with BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir a few streets away. The risk we guard against here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster on the streets near BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, with Brent parking rules in play, which crumbles the key and drops the panel. Every wall is scanned for studs, pipes and cables before the first hole for Neasden (NW10) addresses.
Yes — a batched list is the cheapest way to book us in NW10 for Neasden (NW10) addresses. Three or more jobs in one half-day slot means one set-up, one parking arrangement and one price of £190 rather than three separate call-outs on the streets near BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, with this being London Borough of Brent territory. The estimator above prices the batch, with 28% one-person households here, so you see the Neasden figure before committing to anything on Brent bookings.
Like-for-like socket faces, switches and light fittings, yes, tested on completion on Brent bookings. Anything notifiable under Part P — new circuits, a consumer unit, bathroom zones — needs a registered electrician instead on the streets near BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, with 35% owner-occupation locally. Gas is Gas Safe work full stop, with Brent parking rules in play, so we decline it and point you at an engineer who is registered for it on NW10 jobs.
North Circular access is difficult; side streets are wide with driveways on the Neasden rounds. London Borough of Brent visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us and sit inside the quoted price on NW10 jobs, with BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir a few streets away. Concierge sign-in and goods-lift booking are done before the visit around Neasden (Jubilee), with 47% of NW10 homes being privately rented, so the clock starts when the work does.
The van carries the consumables — screws, plugs, resin, hollow-wall anchors, silicone, filler — and they are inside the NW10 figure you were quoted on NW10 jobs, with 35% owner-occupation locally. Loading for lath and plaster in advance is why a NW10 visit rarely needs a mid-job supply run on the Neasden rounds, with this being a short walk from Neasden (Jubilee). If you want a specific part supplied, we buy it at cost and show you the receipt; there is no mark-up on Brent bookings, with 47% of NW10 homes being privately rented.
Yes. Every area in Brent has its own page on NW10 jobs, and we cross borough boundaries constantly. If your address sits on the edge of NW10, book the nearest page and we will confirm the same fixed price in this 51% flats neighbourhood, with 47% of NW10 homes being privately rented.
