Fitting & Finishing Services for Alum Rock homes
We run a dedicated Birmingham handyman rota through Alum Rock from the streets around Ward End Park outwards. Alum Rock floors sit over late-Victorian red brick, tarmac forecourts and concrete flagstones in places, so we check subfloor level and threshold heights before the underlay goes down. Book the list rather than the item: an hourly slot in B8 usually clears three or four jobs, priced up front.

Every fitting & finishing job we do in Alum Rock
Each service below has its own Alum Rock page with local pricing and booking. Combine several in one visit and you pay a single call-out.
- Poles, tracks and blindsBlinds & Curtain Fitting in Alum RockRoller, venetian, vertical, roman and perfect-fit blinds, plus curtain poles, tracks and bay-window systems. Bay windows are the West Midlands speciality problem — Edwardian and Victorian bays across Kings Heath, Moseley and Sutton Coldfield need a bent or jointed pole set out to the actual angles, not an off-the-shelf straight run. One-hour minimum then 30-minute increments, no call-out fee, and £2m public liability cover on every West Midlands visit.From £45 →
- Feature walls and full roomsWallpaper Hanging in Alum RockFeature walls and full rooms papered in standard, vinyl, textured, grasscloth and paste-the-wall papers. Preparation is most of the job: older West Midlands plaster needs filling, sanding and sizing before anything goes on it, and skipping that is why paper lifts at the seams within a year. High-rise and apartment work around the city centre is handled with lift bookings, floor runners and out-of-hours slots on request.From £90 →
- Carpet, underlay and vinylCarpet Fitting in Alum RockCarpet, underlay, vinyl and runners fitted to rooms, stairs and landings. Stairs are the test — West Midlands Victorian and Edwardian staircases have winders, irregular risers and out-of-square landings, and a fitter who only does straight flights will leave you with visible gaps at every turn. Handymen run from depots covering Birmingham, Solihull, Coventry, Dudley, Walsall and Wolverhampton, so most lists are booked same or next day.From £80 →

How quickly can you get to Alum Rock?
Nine in ten B8 bookings are filled within 3–5 working days, and we hold same-week slots for urgent jobs. Our Birmingham rota runs Monday to Saturday.
Do you work on older Alum Rock properties?
Yes. Densely-terraced East Birmingham neighbourhood with a lively Alum Rock Road high street. Our fitters are briefed on late-Victorian red brick, tarmac forecourts and concrete flagstones and carry the fixings and blades that suit it, so we're not improvising in a listed or conservation-area home.
