Handyman & Assembly Services · Shropshire · SY1
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
Medieval Severn-loop county town with Tudor timber frames and Georgian townhouses. That housing mix shapes every cat flap fitting job we run in SY1 — access, parking and the volume that actually comes out of a property.
Crews know the routes around Shrewsbury Castle and the Quarry riverside park, 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 Shrewsbury town centre traffic and station parking, using the main A-road links rather than narrow SY1 back streets, and booking council recycling-centre slots in advance where waste has to be tipped. Severn flood-cycles leave silt-line staining on riverside drives and steps.
Not listed? We cover the whole of the West Midlands — ask and we'll confirm the next available slot.
On the ground in Shrewsbury
A cat flap fitting in Shrewsbury is priced on time and access, but it succeeds or fails on the fixing. With heritage timber frame, lath and lime dominant across Shropshire, that is not a detail we leave to chance on site.
Shrewsbury 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.
Shrewsbury properties are predominantly heritage timber frame, lath and lime: conservation-area and listed stock — timber frame with wattle infill or lath, lime plaster finishes and irregular, out-of-true wall lines. That means hand-driven fixings into the frame wherever possible, breathable lime-compatible repairs, and no percussive drilling on historic fabric. Get it wrong and hammer action on lime plaster shells the face off in sheets, and on listed fabric an unauthorised fixing is a consent issue as well as a repair bill. On load, modest loads only unless we can reach the frame — we survey and tell you honestly before committing to a fixing. Our handyman carries the full fixing range in the van, so the substrate never turns into a second visit.
Severn flood-cycles leave silt-line staining on riverside drives and steps. For outdoor furniture, garden structures and anything fixed to an external wall in Shrewsbury, that dictates the sealant, the ground anchor and the corrosion grade of the fixings we use.
Shrewsbury's medieval loop has pedestrianised streets and timed access, so town-centre jobs are scheduled around the loading window.
Every Shrewsbury 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.
