Fitting & Finishing Services for Selly Oak homes
We run a dedicated Birmingham handyman rota through Selly Oak from the streets around University of Birmingham Old Joe clock tower outwards. With student-let front gardens gather leaf mulch that stains sandstone within a season if left, we let paper and carpet acclimatise in the room before fitting so nothing shrinks back at the seams. Book the list rather than the item: an hourly slot in B29 usually clears three or four jobs, priced up front.

- Poles, tracks and blindsBlinds & Curtain Fitting in Selly OakRoller, 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 Selly OakFeature 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 Selly OakCarpet, 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 →
