Handyman & Assembly Services · Birmingham, West Midlands · B29
Roller, 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.

Local knowledge
University quarter of red-brick terraces, HMOs and post-war semis around the Bristol Road corridor. That housing mix shapes every blinds & curtain fitting job we run in B29 — access, parking and the volume that actually comes out of a property.
Crews know the routes around University of Birmingham Old Joe clock tower, 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 Selly Oak town centre traffic and station parking, using the main A-road links rather than narrow B29 back streets, and booking council recycling-centre slots in advance where waste has to be tipped. Student-let front gardens gather leaf mulch that stains sandstone within a season if left.

On the ground in Selly Oak
A blinds & curtain fitting in Selly Oak is priced on time and access, but it succeeds or fails on the fixing. With victorian solid brick with lath-and-plaster upstairs dominant across Birmingham, that is not a detail we leave to chance on site.
Selly Oak 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.
Selly Oak 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.
Student-let front gardens gather leaf mulch that stains sandstone within a season if left. For outdoor furniture, garden structures and anything fixed to an external wall in Selly Oak, that dictates the sealant, the ground anchor and the corrosion grade of the fixings we use.
Selly Oak HMOs turn over every summer, so we run back-to-back flat-pack and bed assembly visits for landlords between tenancies across B29.
Every Selly Oak 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.
