Handyman in Hampton Wick, TW11
Around Kingston Bridge and Bushy Park's Hampton Wick gate in Hampton Wick, TW11, the stock gives us lath and plaster over timber studs, with solid brick on the party and external walls — which is why the same shelf takes twenty minutes in one flat and an hour in the next. The usual Richmond upon Thames instruction is alcove shelving and a TV bracket, both fixed through the plaster into something solid.

Walls and fixings
What is behind the plaster in Hampton Wick
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.

Scope
What is included in Hampton Wick
Included in every visit
- An insured, DBS-checked tradesperson who brings everything needed for a TW11 visit — tools, steps and floor protection.
- 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.
- A stud, pipe and cable scan before drilling, every fixing set to a level and load-tested in front of you.
- very narrow one-way lanes, bridge traffic and no off-street parking in the old core — we plan the Hampton Wick TW11 arrival around it and settle permits with London Borough of Richmond upon Thames ourselves.
Not included — and why
- Gas work of any kind: that is Gas Safe registered work, and we say so before you book, not on the day.
- New circuits or consumer units, which are notifiable under Part P and need a registered electrician.
- Structural alterations and anything needing London Borough of Richmond upon Thames building control sign-off.
- Asbestos disturbance — pre-2000 artex, soffits and boards near TW11 are surveyed, never drilled blind.
The full scope policy, the complete fixings matrix and every fixed price sit on one page: handyman reference.
