Very professional

Very professional, reliable and punctual. My sliding window got off the track, which Tristan fixed quickly and properly. Apart from fixing the problem, he realised that my curtains were not moving smoothly so he fixed the rail, too. I have already decided to call them for other issues in my house and would recommend them to friends and family.

Carpentry work

Handyman was punctual, helpful and completed all carpentry work - mainly fixing the runner on a set of cupboard doors - to a high standard.
Would use this company again.

Excellent Handyman

Tristan is very professional, experienced, punctual and friendly. He's helped us with many tasks, all to an excellent standard - including installing a bath glass panel, knocking out a cupboard, installing security cameras and mounting cupboards and shelves. We would highly recommend him and will use The Kensington Handyman in future!

Top class service for my elderly father by the Kensington Handyman

I needed to find a Handyman to assembly a flatpack bed for my elderly father and found Tristan via an internet search. Tristan was amazing. Communication from the outset was outstanding. Very responsive and reassuring. On the day Tristan was flexible to arrive after the flat pack furniture arrived and he went above and beyond to give excellent customer service. Tristan even vacuumed and made my Dad’s bed after unpacking and putting the new mattress on the frame. Dad said that Tristan was so helpful and friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend Tristan for any DIY projects. Thank you for all that you did for my Dad and sending photos of your work after

Absolutely professional

Absolutely professional! The service that Kensington Handyman provides is outstanding and timely. I was able to book easily online and 24 hours later the handyman arrived. He assmebled a complex TV stand and even went the extra mile to help put the TV on the stand. He then proceeded to assmeble two bathroom cabinets.

This was topnotch, Tristan the Owner was incredibly accomodative and Omar the engineer he sent was super courteous and incredibly professional. I WILL USE THIS SERVICE ALL THE TIME!!!

Great Handyman in London

Firstly Tristan is an excellent communicator. I needed some carpentry done in bathroom wooden sill (rotted) which needed to be replaced with PVC to stop it rotting.
Kio was timely, tidy & did an excellent job.
So much so I had him back again to reseal shower tray with silicone. Again a very good job done & not too expensive for London. Thank you Tristan & team, it helps to know a good handyman especially in London.😊

Ottoman bed rebuild and reposition

I used The Kensington Handyman as I had a king size ottoman bed which needed to be dismantled and rebuilt in another room. Omar did an excellent job, arriving on time and working efficiently and carefully. He was polite and very communicative and I would definitely use The Kensington Handyman service again, when I need some flat pack builds or blind hanging, electrical work etc. Thank you for your help. I’ve kept your number in my phone for future jobs around the house.

This is my third experience with them

This is my third experience with them, and each time I’ve made a request, it was executed within hours—unlike other places where appointments are required and the wait can exceed two weeks. Their precision and professionalism are unmatched. I don’t expect to reach out to anyone else in the future.

A wonderful service.

We have had a most wonderful service from the Kensington Handyman. In addition to various handyman type jobs carried out in the flat - e.g. joinery and plumbing repairs - we also had some more extensive works done in the kitchen. This involved replacing a fridge freezer and dishwasher. Tristan guided us on ordering appropriate appliances and Kio, his operative, did a really professional job taking out the old and installing the new white goods. Nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be using them again and we are pleased to be supporting a local business.

Fantastic customer service

Fantastic customer service - delivered with patience and kindness. I had an issue late on Thursday evening and got in touch via WhatsApp. Tristan kindly walked me through the preliminary steps necessary to diagnose the issue and (!) fix it myself. He took time out of his evening to do this over WhatsApp, resulting in an immediate fix for me. I am so happy to have found such great customer service and look forward to using his services again

I booked The Kensington Handyman the other day for securing my wardrobe units onto the wall and also together. Communication was so smooth through Tristan and I was booked in the day after.

My task got done in the best way possible by Kio. He listened to my requirements carefully and attention to details (making the units level and flush) was high. Definitely recommending them.
