Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bistro set or two chairs and a table | £55 | 30–60 min | Quick build, bolted with the set standing on the surface it will live on. |
| Six to eight seat dining set | £110 | 1.5–2.5 hrs | Every chair is a separate build and the table is levelled on paving that falls for drainage. |
| Rattan corner sofa set | £140 | 2–3 hrs | Modules clipped and bolted, then squared so the cushions sit flush. |
| Gas BBQ or outdoor kitchen unit | £120 | 1.5–3 hrs | Burners aligned, regulator fitted and leak-tested before it is ever lit. |
| Parasol, cantilever base or gazebo | £95 | 1–2 hrs | The base is the safety item — ballast is calculated, not guessed. |
| Shed base or storage box, levelling included | £160 | 2–4 hrs | A base 15mm out of level is why shed doors stop closing after one winter. |

Working in Lambeth
What our crews walk into in Lambeth is victorian terraces and conversions, edwardian mansion blocks and estates such as angell town, and the mix changes street by street — Balham (SW12), Brixton (SW9) and Clapham (SW4) each behave differently on the day.
London Borough of Lambeth sets the constraint: red routes on the a23 and a3, seven-day cpzs in brixton and clapham, and heavy nightlife loading pressure. Locally that means very tight cpz, narrow streets and art deco blocks with small original lifts and market and nightlife congestion, red routes on the a23 and permit-only side streets. Part of Lambeth sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.
Most flats in Lambeth are leasehold, and managing agents here routinely ask for a public liability certificate and a method note before a contractor drills anything. We send both with the booking confirmation.
Lambeth took its present shape because marshland drained for pleasure gardens, then covered in victorian terraces; the windrush generation reshaped brixton from 1948.
Scope
Method
Step 1
The route in is checked before the crew is booked, and floors are protected on the way.
Step 2
Parts checked outside, so cardboard never comes through the house twice.
Step 3
Assembled where it will live, because a built dining set will not fit back through a doorway.
Step 4
Feet packed to the fall of the paving and parasol bases ballasted for wind.
Step 5
BBQ leak-tested, moving parts cycled, packaging flattened and taken away on request.
Coverage
Also in this borough
Treadmills, racks, multi-gyms and benches carried in, built, levelled and safety checked.
Wardrobes, beds, desks and storage built, levelled and anchored to the wall.
Fitted to timber, uPVC panels, walls and toughened glass with a microchip flap set up.
Floating and bracketed shelving into plaster, brick, stud and dot-and-dab.
Sheds, bases and outdoor storage built square, levelled and weather-fixed.
Cuttings, turf and soil taken to a licensed composting site rather than to landfill.
Bistro set or two chairs and a table starts at £55 in Lambeth, and the ladder runs up to £160 for the largest job on the table above. Item count and access set the price: carrying through a flat or up to a terrace takes longer than a side return. Part of the borough is inside the Congestion Charge zone, so a £15 daily charge is added as its own line when the job falls inside the charging hours.
We cover the whole borough: SE1, SE11, SE19, SE24, SE27, SW12, SW16, SW2, SW4 and SW8 and the rest of the Lambeth outward codes. On the ground that includes Balham, Brixton, Clapham, Gipsy Hill, Kennington and Norbury.
Most garden bookings are within 48 hours in season, with weekend slots from March to September. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Red routes on the A23 and A3, seven-day CPZs in Brixton and Clapham, and heavy nightlife loading pressure. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Lambeth and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Victorian terraces and conversions, Edwardian mansion blocks and estates such as Angell Town is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every gas BBQ is leak-tested with the regulator fitted before hand-over. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Lambeth tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
One fitter for bistro sets, parasols and BBQs; two for corner sofa sets, large dining sets and shed bases. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Lambeth postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
Laying paving, concrete pads or decking — that is landscaping, quoted separately, Fixing anything into a party wall or boundary structure without the neighbour's consent and Hard-wiring outdoor power, lighting or heaters, which needs a registered electrician. If something on that list turns up in Lambeth, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

Sulltan is the best handyman in London. He is very reliable and professional. I highly recommend.
Really pleased with our house move. The guys came on time, loaded everything carefully like a huge jigsaw! Nothing got broken and even though they were working on an hourly rate they were really efficient, not to waste any time. Our only criticism is that we needed a few items disassembled to get on the… Read in full →
