Handyman in Greenwich
Odd jobs across Greenwich run to 10 areas. With 52% of homes in flats, most lists are flat-pack assembly, TV mounting, shelving and door easing — and most of them need a fixing chosen for the substrate rather than pulled from a pack. Cobbled and one-way streets in the World Heritage core, Blackwall Tunnel approach red routes, and tower-block lift booking on the Peninsula.

£55 minimum charge per visit. Prices include VAT, the van, fixings from our own stock and taking the packaging away. Nothing is added on the day without your written agreement first. You have told us the walls are lath, dot-and-dab or concrete, so we have allowed for the correct anchors and the extra scanning time that goes with them.
How it works
How a Greenwich visit works
- Send your job listSend every job in one message and we return a single written figure for the Greenwich visit, same working day.
- Detector out before the drillEvery wall is scanned for studs, pipes and cables, sheets go down, and the fixing is matched to precast concrete and blockwork rather than pulled from a pack.
- Tested and tidiedWe load-test each fixing, take the cardboard and old fittings away, and walk the list with you — Royal Borough of Greenwich permits already settled.

Walls and fixings
What is behind the plaster in Greenwich
Most likely here
Precast concrete and blockwork — Post-war estates and podium blocks
SDS drill, 8 mm hole, sleeve anchor or screwbolt. Realistic load: 50 kg-plus per fixing. What goes wrong: hitting reinforcement or a buried conduit without a scan first.
Lath and plaster
Pre-1930 terraces and mansion blocks
- Fixing
- Locate the timber lath studs, fix through into the stud with 5 × 80 mm screws
- Safe load
- Up to 25 kg into a stud, nothing into the plaster itself
- What pulls out
- A plasterboard plug in lime plaster crumbles the key and drops the whole panel
Solid London stock brick
Victorian and Edwardian party and external walls
- Fixing
- 7 mm hammer-drilled hole into the brick body, nylon plug or resin anchor
- Safe load
- 40 kg-plus per fixing when anchored into brick, not mortar
- What pulls out
- Fixing into soft lime mortar joints, which spin out under load
Dot-and-dab plasterboard
1990s onward new builds and conversions
- Fixing
- Long fixings through the void into the blockwork behind, or a spread-load anchor
- Safe load
- 30 kg with a through-fixing, 8 kg on a hollow-wall anchor alone
- What pulls out
- Short screws that only grip the board, then lever it off the dabs
Timber or metal stud partition
Flat conversions and 1960s-onward internal walls
- Fixing
- Stud detector, then fix into the upright; noggins added where the stud misses
- Safe load
- 35 kg into timber, 15 kg into metal stud with a toggle
- What pulls out
- Two of four bracket holes on the stud and two in fresh air
Precast concrete and blockwork
Post-war estates and podium blocks
- Fixing
- SDS drill, 8 mm hole, sleeve anchor or screwbolt
- Safe load
- 50 kg-plus per fixing
- What pulls out
- Hitting reinforcement or a buried conduit without a scan first
Insulated dry lining
Retrofitted period homes and low-energy refurbishments
- Fixing
- Insulation-rated frame fixings that reach the masonry beyond the board and foam
- Safe load
- 25 kg, spread across four points
- What pulls out
- Compressing the insulation so the fixing slowly works loose

Why Hello Services in Greenwich
One visit, one fixed price
Your whole SE2 list quoted in writing the same working day, with no doorstep re-quote on the Abbey Wood rounds.
The right anchor for the wall
We carry the lot, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it is what a rushed job leaves behind on the streets near Lesnes Abbey Woods, with 61% of Abbey Wood homes being houses.

Rates and local costs
Hourly, half day or full day in Greenwich
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.
- Parking and permits
- Royal Borough of Greenwich visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged, paid for by us and already inside the quoted figure.
- Charging zones
- Greenwich sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ.
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 Greenwich
Included in every visit
- One vetted fitter for the whole Greenwich list, with ladders, tools and sheets already in the van.
- SDS drill, 8 mm hole, sleeve anchor or screwbolt and the rest of our van stock, because precast concrete and blockwork is what most SE2 fixings go into.
- Scanning, levelling and load-testing on every hole — plus packaging and old fittings taken away.
- Access worked out in advance for Greenwich, with Royal Borough of Greenwich permits and charges already inside the price.
Not included — and why
The full scope policy, the complete fixings matrix and every fixed price sit on one page: handyman reference.
