Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Pimlico, outdoor furniture assembly here covers supply-free fitting from £55. With 93% of Pimlico's 7,917 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW1 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
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.
Why choose us
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — measured on the walk in from Pimlico (Victoria) rather than assumed from a map in SW1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SW1, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — with 34% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every gas BBQ is leak-tested with the regulator fitted before hand-over.
One fitter for bistro sets, parasols and BBQs; two for corner sofa sets, large dining sets and shed bases. Resident-permit streets all week, basement flats down steep steps and no lifts in most conversions.
Most garden bookings are within 48 hours in season, with weekend slots from March to September. Pimlico (Victoria) is the nearest station, so a SW1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
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. |

Scope
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 →

Working in Pimlico
The SW1 stock around Tate Britain is post-war. ONS records 93% flats, 7% houses and 7,917 households in Pimlico.
Owner-occupation runs at 27% in Pimlico, so alongside the 39% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Pimlico substrates run to often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — measured on the walk in from Pimlico (Victoria) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in SW1, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — with 34% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the mistake that costs a SW1 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Pimlico: cubitt's white stucco grid between Victoria and the river, quieter than its neighbours. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Pimlico sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: resident-permit streets all week, basement flats down steep steps and no lifts in most conversions. Pimlico (Victoria) is the nearest station, and one fitter for bistro sets, parasols and BBQs; two for corner sofa sets, large dining sets and shed bases.

Bistro set or two chairs and a table starts at £55 in Pimlico around Pimlico (Victoria), with this being Westminster City Council territory — and 46% one-person households here, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Item count and access set the price: carrying through a flat or up to a terrace takes longer than a side return on SW1 jobs, with 93% of homes here being flats.
Yes, and it is common in Pimlico where 93% of homes are flats for Pimlico (SW1) addresses. We build on the terrace, carry cardboard straight back out and ballast bases — wind loading in SW1 is a real hazard on the streets near Tate Britain, with 39% of SW1 homes being privately rented.
Yes — from £120. Burners aligned, regulator fitted and every connection leak-tested before hand-over on the Pimlico rounds. We also check siting against the boundary, which matters in narrow Westminster gardens across SW1.
We level and pack an existing base from £160 for Pimlico (SW1) addresses. With 7% of Pimlico homes being houses, the surface is usually old paving with a drainage fall on the streets near Tate Britain, with this being a short walk from Pimlico (Victoria). A new concrete pad is landscaping and we refer it on Westminster bookings.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every gas BBQ is leak-tested with the regulator fitted before hand-over for Pimlico (SW1) addresses, with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood. That paperwork is what most Westminster letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the Pimlico rounds, with this being Westminster City Council territory.
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; Hard-wiring outdoor power, lighting or heaters around Pimlico (Victoria) — and a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood, with 7% of Pimlico homes being houses, which needs a registered electrician. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Pimlico SW1 price you agree is the price you pay across SW1, with Westminster parking rules in play.
All three. With 39% of Pimlico privately rented and 27% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW1 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the Pimlico rounds — and 46% one-person households here, with this being Westminster City Council territory.
