Wallpaper Hanging in Edgbaston

Wallpaper Hanging in Edgbaston (B15) starts from £90. We quote on the actual job — size, condition and access — and confirm the figure before we start, so there is no hourly creep and no surprise surcharges.

Around 240 minutes for a typical Edgbaston job. Heavier build-up, larger properties or restricted access add time — we confirm the window when we book you in.

Yes — our Edgbaston handyman teams cover B15 plus harborne, selly oak, bournville. Same- and next-day slots are usually available.

No. Your Edgbaston handyman arrives with cordless drills, an SDS hammer, stud and pipe detectors, spirit levels and the standard screws, plugs and anchors — including the victorian solid brick with lath-and-plaster upstairs fixings this postcode calls for. Only specialist brackets or bespoke fittings are charged on, and we agree those with you before buying anything.

A one-hour minimum, then 30-minute increments, with no call-out fee and no charge for travel inside B15. If your list finishes early you pay for the time actually worked, and if you add jobs on the day we price them before starting rather than after.

Every handyman carries £2m public liability cover and works to a written method on anything structural. Damage is rare, but if it happens in your Edgbaston property it is covered and put right — we photograph the work area before and after on request so there is never a dispute about what was already there.

Edgbaston properties are predominantly victorian solid brick with lath-and-plaster upstairs: solid nine-inch red brick at ground level, with lath-and-plaster partitions and ceilings on the upper floors and original timber studwork around chimney breasts. That means long frame fixings that bite past the soft lime plaster into brick, plus timber screws into the lath studs where the wall is hollow. Get it wrong and plasterboard plugs pushed into century-old lime plaster pull straight back out, taking a dinner-plate of ceiling with them. On load, a properly fixed bracket into solid Victorian brick will carry any domestic TV or shelf load; the limit is the plaster, not the brick. Our handyman carries the full fixing range in the van, so the substrate never turns into a second visit.

Yes. Our Edgbaston handyman arrives with cordless drills, an SDS hammer, stud and pipe detectors, levels and the standard screws, plugs and anchors — including the victorian solid brick with lath-and-plaster upstairs fixings this postcode needs. Only specialist brackets or bespoke fittings are charged separately, and we agree those with you before buying. Edgbaston's Calthorpe Estate properties carry covenants on external alterations, so satellite brackets, cat flaps and outdoor fixings are confirmed with you in writing first.
