Walls and fixings
What is behind the plaster in Hanworth
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

- Safe load
- 25 kg, spread across four points
- What pulls out
- Compressing the insulation so the fixing slowly works loose

Fixings and filler included
Screws, plugs, resin, silicone and filler come from the van, not from your invoice for Hanworth (TW13) addresses.
Packaging leaves with us
Flat-pack cardboard, polystyrene and old fittings go in the van at the end of the TW13 visit in Hanworth, with 17% of TW13 homes being privately rented.
DBS-checked and insured
£1m public liability and a tradesperson you would be happy to leave in the flat in Hanworth.
Photographed and load-tested
Each fixing tested and documented, so landlords and agents get evidence without asking in Hanworth.
Rates and local costs
Hourly, half day or full day in Hanworth
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 Hounslow visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged, paid for by us and already inside the quoted figure.
- Charging zones
- Hounslow 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 Hanworth
Included in every visit
- An insured, DBS-checked tradesperson who brings everything needed for a TW13 visit — tools, steps and floor protection.
- Fixings matched to precast concrete and blockwork — SDS drill, 8 mm hole, sleeve anchor or screwbolt 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.
- wide suburban roads with driveways and easy turning — we plan the Hanworth TW13 arrival around it and settle permits with London Borough of Hounslow ourselves.
Not included — and why
- Anything gas — boilers, hobs, pipework — is Gas Safe territory and we will not touch it in Hanworth TW13.
- Consumer units and new circuits, notifiable work that needs Part P sign-off.
- Structural alterations and anything needing London Borough of Hounslow 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.

Post-war semis and terraces with drives, plus interwar houses around the park. That puts precast concrete and blockwork behind most fixings we make in TW13. On that wall we use sDS drill, 8 mm hole, sleeve anchor or screwbolt, and we will tell you the honest ceiling: 50 kg-plus per fixing.

Access is planned before the van leaves. Wide suburban roads with driveways and easy turning.
