Handyman & Assembly Services · Walsall, West Midlands · WS9
Cat and dog flaps fitted into timber and composite doors, uPVC panels, brick walls and — with a specialist glazier partner — double-glazed units. Microchip flaps are set up and tested with your pet's chip before we leave. In conservation areas across Knowle, Bournville, Warwick and Lichfield we confirm any consent implications before cutting. Conservation-area and listed properties across Warwickshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire are surveyed before any fixing touches historic fabric.

Local knowledge
Prosperous commuter town on the Walsall/Lichfield border with 1960s executive estates and Georgian pockets. That housing mix shapes every cat flap fitting job we run in WS9 — access, parking and the volume that actually comes out of a property.
Crews know the routes around St Mary the Virgin Church, Aldridge, plan loading where residents' parking is tight, and work to the collection windows your street or building allows.
Day to day that means working around Aldridge town centre traffic and station parking, using the main A-road links rather than narrow WS9 back streets, and booking council recycling-centre slots in advance where waste has to be tipped. Sutton Park run-off keeps soakaway drives waterlogged after autumn storms.
Not listed? We cover the whole of the West Midlands — ask and we'll confirm the next available slot.
On the ground in Aldridge
A cat flap fitting in Aldridge is priced on time and access, but it succeeds or fails on the fixing. With 1930s cavity brick with gypsum plaster dominant across Walsall, that is not a detail we leave to chance on site.
Aldridge landlords and letting agents book us between tenancies for bed frames, wardrobe repairs, re-hung blinds and re-fixed shelving — the small defects that hold up an inventory sign-off.
Aldridge properties are predominantly 1930s cavity brick with gypsum plaster: interwar semis and Corporation housing built as brick cavity walls, skimmed in gypsum, with joists running front-to-back at 400mm centres. That means nylon plugs into the outer leaf for light loads, and long cavity-spanning frame fixings for anything that cantilevers off the wall. Get it wrong and a fixing that only grips the plaster skim and the first 15mm of brick will sag within weeks once a load is hung on it. On load, good for heavy fixings provided the fixing reaches the brick — we always drill through the skim, never into it. Our handyman carries the full fixing range in the van, so the substrate never turns into a second visit.
Sutton Park run-off keeps soakaway drives waterlogged after autumn storms. For outdoor furniture, garden structures and anything fixed to an external wall in Aldridge, that dictates the sealant, the ground anchor and the corrosion grade of the fixings we use.
Aldridge's larger detached stock and garages give us space to build gym equipment and outdoor furniture under cover if the weather turns.
Every Aldridge visit is billed from a one-hour minimum then in 30-minute increments, with no call-out fee. If the list finishes early you pay for the time actually worked.
