Why Hello Services
Why Hello Services in Wealdstone and Harrow Weald
The right anchor for the wall
We carry the lot, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body is what a rushed job leaves behind around Harrow & Wealdstone (Bakerloo, Overground), with The former Kodak factory site a few streets away.
Permits and parking included
London Borough of Harrow visitor permits and suspensions are arranged and paid for by us across HA3.
Fixings and filler included
Screws, plugs, resin, silicone and filler come from the van, not from your invoice on the Wealdstone and Harrow Weald rounds.
Packaging leaves with us
Flat-pack cardboard, polystyrene and old fittings go in the van at the end of the HA3 visit on the streets near The former Kodak factory site, with this being a short walk from Harrow & Wealdstone (Bakerloo, Overground).
Rates and local costs
Hourly, half day or full day in Wealdstone and Harrow Weald
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 Harrow visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged, paid for by us and already inside the quoted figure.
- Charging zones
- Harrow 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 Wealdstone and Harrow Weald
Included in every visit
- A DBS-checked, insured fitter arriving in Wealdstone and Harrow Weald HA3 with their own tools, ladders and dust sheets.
- Van-stock anchors chosen for solid london stock brick, including 7 mm hammer-drilled hole into the brick body, nylon plug or resin anchor, at no extra charge.
- Detector before drill, laser line rather than eye, and a load test on each fixing before we sign off.

Not included — and why
- Anything gas — boilers, hobs, pipework — is Gas Safe territory and we will not touch it in Wealdstone and Harrow Weald HA3.
- Consumer units and new circuits, notifiable work that needs Part P sign-off.
- Load-bearing or structural changes, which need building control approval from London Borough of Harrow first.
- Drilling into suspected asbestos: pre-2000 solid london stock brick finishes get a survey before anyone makes a hole.
