London construction and trades work

What We Do

Every Trade. One Number.

From burst pipes to broken roofs — Fixing London covers all trades across the capital on an hourly rate.

Service 01

Drainage & Blocked Drains

Fast clearance, any time of day.

Drainage problems rarely give much warning. One moment everything is fine; the next, water is backing up through your sink, toilet, or external gully. Left untreated, a blocked drain can cause flooding, structural damage, and serious health hazards from sewage overflow. Fixing London's drainage engineers are available across the capital with the specialist equipment needed to diagnose and clear any blockage quickly and cleanly.

We don't just rod the drain and hope for the best. Our engineers use high-pressure water jetting to blast through grease, scale, and debris, and CCTV drain surveys to inspect the full length of the pipe and identify root intrusion, collapsed sections, or displaced joints. This means we fix the actual cause — not just the symptom — so the same problem doesn't come back in a few weeks.

For more serious drainage issues, we also carry out drain relining, which repairs damaged or cracked pipes from the inside without the need for excavation. This is faster, less disruptive, and far more cost-effective than digging up your garden or driveway.

What We Offer

  • Emergency drain clearance — same-day response across London
  • High-pressure water jetting for stubborn blockages
  • CCTV drain surveys with full written report
  • Root intrusion removal and prevention
  • Drain relining for cracked or collapsed pipes
  • External gully and soakaway clearance
  • Sewer line inspection and repair
  • Odour investigation and resolution

Typical Jobs

  • Blocked kitchen sink with grease build-up
  • Toilet backing up due to root intrusion
  • External drain flooding the garden
  • Slow-draining bath or shower
  • Sewer smell inside the property
  • Pre-purchase drain survey for a new home

Why Choose Us

Our drainage engineers carry CCTV equipment and jetting units on every van, so there's no waiting for specialist kit to arrive. We provide a written survey report after every CCTV inspection, giving you a clear record of the drain's condition — useful for property purchases, insurance claims, or planning future maintenance.

  • Blocked sinks, baths & toilets
  • External drain & gully clearance
  • High-pressure water jetting
  • CCTV drain surveys & reporting
  • Sewer line blockages
  • Root intrusion removal
  • Drain relining & repairs
  • Emergency 18-hour callouts

Service 02

Plumbing

Leaks fixed. Pipes sorted.

Water damage is one of the most costly and disruptive problems a property can face. A small leak left unattended can rot floorboards, damage ceilings, cause mould growth, and undermine the structural integrity of a building. Fixing London's qualified plumbers are available across the capital to respond quickly, diagnose accurately, and fix the problem properly the first time.

We handle the full range of residential and commercial plumbing — from emergency burst pipe repairs and leak investigations to full bathroom installations and commercial pipework. Our plumbers are experienced working in all property types, from Victorian terraces with old lead pipework to modern new-builds with underfloor heating systems.

All our plumbing work is carried out to current building regulations and water bylaws. We use quality materials and fittings, and we always test our work thoroughly before leaving the job. Most repairs are completed in a single visit because our vans are stocked with a comprehensive range of parts and fittings.

What We Offer

  • Emergency burst pipe repair — rapid response
  • Leak detection and trace and access
  • Dripping taps, faulty valves and stopcocks
  • Toilet cistern, syphon and flush valve repairs

  • Shower with no pressure or no hot water
  • Radiator that's cold at the bottom
  • Full bathroom suite installation

Why Choose Us

Our plumbers carry a comprehensive stock of parts on every van — copper fittings, isolation valves, tap cartridges, toilet internals, and more — so the vast majority of repairs are completed in a single visit without a return trip to a merchant. We also offer a leak investigation service using thermal imaging and moisture meters to find hidden leaks without unnecessary damage to walls or floors.

  • Dripping taps & faulty valves
  • Sink, basin & toilet repairs

Service 03

Carpentry & Joinery

Precision work, solid results.

Good carpentry is the backbone of a well-finished property. Whether you're dealing with a door that won't close properly, a staircase that needs repairing, or a room that needs bespoke fitted storage, the quality of the joinery makes a lasting difference to how a space looks and functions. Fixing London's carpenters and joiners bring the skill and experience to get it right.

We work on all types of properties across London — from Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces with their distinctive period profiles to modern apartments and commercial offices. Matching existing joinery in older properties requires a careful eye and the ability to source or replicate period-appropriate mouldings and profiles. Our carpenters have the experience to do this properly.

For new installations, we offer a full service from measurement and specification through to fitting and finishing. Bespoke fitted wardrobes, alcove shelving, under-stair storage, and home office furniture are all areas where our joiners regularly work. We use quality materials and take pride in clean, precise work that stands the test of time.

What We Offer

  • Door hanging, adjustment and replacement
  • Door frames, linings and architrave
  • Skirting boards — fitting, repair and matching
  • Bespoke fitted wardrobes and alcove shelving
  • Staircase repairs, treads and balustrades
  • Window frame repairs and draught-proofing
  • Loft hatch fitting and insulation
  • Structural timber repairs and replacement

Typical Jobs

  • Front door that's dropped and won't close
  • Skirting boards damaged by a leak
  • Bespoke alcove shelving in a living room
  • Staircase spindles that need replacing
  • Fitted wardrobe in a bedroom
  • Loft hatch that needs enlarging and insulating

Why Choose Us

We understand that carpentry in older London properties requires more than just technical skill — it requires an eye for detail and the patience to match existing profiles and finishes. Our carpenters take time to assess the existing joinery before starting work, and we source matching materials wherever possible so repairs and additions blend seamlessly with what's already there.

  • Door hanging, fitting & repairs
  • Door frames & linings
  • Skirting boards & architrave
  • Bespoke fitted wardrobes & shelving
  • Staircase repairs & balustrades
  • Structural carpentry & timber repairs
  • Window frames & sash window repairs

Service 04

Handyman Service

Hourly rate. No job too small.

Every property has a list of small jobs that never quite get done. A shelf that needs putting up, a blind that needs fitting, a door handle that's loose, a patch of plaster that needs filling before repainting. Individually, none of them are big enough to warrant a specialist, but together they add up — and they affect how your home or office looks and functions every day.

Fixing London's handyman service is designed exactly for this. Our handymen are experienced, well-equipped, and booked by the hour with no minimum call-out charge. You tell us what needs doing, and we work through the list efficiently and professionally. Most clients find that a two or three-hour booking covers a surprising amount of work.

We're particularly popular with landlords and letting agents who need a reliable, multi-skilled tradesperson to handle end-of-tenancy repairs, inventory check-out snags, and routine maintenance between lets. Our handymen understand the demands of rental property and work quickly and cleanly to get properties back on the market.

What We Offer

  • Flat-pack and furniture assembly — IKEA, Wayfair and all brands
  • Picture, mirror and artwork hanging
  • TV wall mounting — all sizes and wall types
  • Curtain poles, blinds and shutters
  • Minor plaster patching and filling
  • Tile repairs and re-grouting
  • Door and window adjustments
  • Shelf fitting and storage solutions

Typical Jobs

  • Assembling a full bedroom's worth of IKEA furniture
  • Mounting a 65-inch TV on a plasterboard wall
  • Fitting a new curtain pole and hanging curtains
  • Patching and painting a wall after a picture hook
  • End-of-tenancy repairs for a landlord
  • Fitting a new bathroom cabinet and mirror

Why Choose Us

Our handymen arrive with a fully stocked toolkit including drills, fixings for all wall types (solid brick, stud, plasterboard, and concrete), levels, and a comprehensive range of fixings and fastenings. You don't need to supply anything — just show us the list and we'll get on with it. We're also happy to collect materials from a local merchant if a job requires specific items.

  • Flat-pack & furniture assembly
  • Picture, mirror & TV mounting
  • Curtain pole & blind fitting
  • Minor plaster patching & filling
  • Tile repairs & re-grouting
  • Door & window adjustments
  • Shelf fitting & storage solutions
  • General property maintenance

Service 05

Painting & Decorating

Clean lines. Quality finish.

A fresh coat of paint can transform a room — but only if it's done properly. Poor preparation, cheap materials, and rushed application produce a finish that looks tired within months. Fixing London's decorators take a different approach: thorough preparation, quality materials, and careful, methodical application that produces a finish that lasts.

Every decorating job starts with a proper assessment of the surfaces. Cracks are filled, surfaces are sanded smooth, and bare areas are primed before any topcoat goes on. We use premium trade paints from leading brands, and we take the time to cut in cleanly around edges, coving, and woodwork. The result is a finish that looks professional because it is professional.

For exterior work, we understand the particular demands of London's climate — the damp, the temperature swings, and the pollution that can degrade exterior finishes quickly. We use appropriate weatherproof paints and masonry coatings, and we prepare surfaces thoroughly to ensure the finish bonds properly and lasts as long as possible.

What We Offer

  • Interior painting — walls, ceilings, woodwork and radiators
  • Exterior painting and masonry coating
  • Wallpaper hanging — all types including feature walls
  • Wallpaper stripping and surface preparation
  • Specialist finishes — eggshell, satin, chalk paint
  • Coving, cornice and ceiling rose painting
  • Commercial and office redecoration
  • End-of-tenancy and landlord redecoration

Typical Jobs

  • Full interior redecoration of a three-bedroom flat
  • Feature wall with specialist textured finish
  • Exterior repaint of a Victorian terrace
  • Wallpaper hanging in a dining room
  • End-of-tenancy repaint for a landlord
  • Office redecoration over a weekend

Why Choose Us

We use premium trade paints — Dulux Trade, Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, and Zinsser primers — and we never cut corners on preparation. Our decorators protect all furniture, floors, and fittings before starting work, and they leave the space completely clean when they're done. We're also happy to colour-match existing paint or advise on colour choices if you're not sure what you want.

  • Interior painting — walls, ceilings & woodwork
  • Exterior painting & weatherproofing
  • Wallpaper hanging & removal
  • Feature walls & specialist finishes
  • Surface preparation & filling
  • Coving & cornice painting
  • Commercial & office decoration
  • End-of-tenancy redecoration

Service 06

Roofing

Leaks stopped. Roofs secured.

Your roof is your property's first line of defence against the elements. A small leak or a few slipped tiles might seem minor, but water ingress can cause serious damage to roof timbers, insulation, ceilings, and internal finishes very quickly — especially during London's wet winters. Acting fast when a roofing problem appears is always the right decision.

Fixing London's roofing team handles everything from emergency repairs to full re-roofing projects. We work on all roof types — pitched roofs with clay or concrete tiles, slate roofs, flat roofs with felt, EPDM rubber, or fibreglass (GRP) finishes, and everything in between. We also handle chimney repairs, lead flashing, guttering, and fascia and soffit replacement.

All our roofing work is carried out with appropriate access equipment — scaffolding, tower scaffolds, or cherry pickers depending on the job — and we follow all relevant health and safety requirements. After every repair, we carry out a thorough inspection of the surrounding area to check for any other issues that might cause problems in the future.

What We Offer

  • Emergency roof leak repair — rapid response
  • Slipped, cracked and missing tile replacement
  • Flat roof repair and full replacement
  • EPDM rubber roofing installation
  • Fibreglass (GRP) flat roofing
  • Lead flashing repair and replacement
  • Chimney pointing, repointing and repair
  • Guttering, fascia and soffit replacement

Typical Jobs

  • Emergency repair after a storm blows off tiles
  • Flat roof on a kitchen extension that's leaking
  • Lead flashing around a chimney stack
  • Gutters overflowing due to blockage or damage
  • Full re-roofing of a Victorian terrace
  • EPDM flat roof on a garage or outbuilding

Why Choose Us

We provide a written inspection report after every roofing job, detailing the work carried out and the condition of the surrounding roof area. This gives you a clear record for insurance purposes and helps you plan any future maintenance. We also offer a free roof health check for properties where the roof hasn't been inspected recently — catching small problems early is always cheaper than dealing with the consequences of a major leak.

  • Emergency roof leak repairs
  • Slipped, cracked & missing tiles
  • Flat roof repairs & replacement
  • EPDM & felt flat roofing
  • Lead flashing repairs
  • Chimney pointing & repairs
  • Guttering repairs & replacement
  • Roof inspections & surveys

Service 07

General Building

Structural repairs. Solid workmanship.

General building work covers a broad spectrum — from patching a section of damaged brickwork to managing a full residential extension or commercial fit-out. What all these jobs have in common is the need for solid, reliable workmanship and a team that understands how buildings work and how to work safely within them.

Fixing London's building team brings together experienced tradespeople with backgrounds in brickwork, plastering, concrete work, and structural repairs. We work on all types of London property — Victorian and Edwardian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war flats, and modern commercial buildings. Each type presents its own challenges, and our team has the experience to handle them.

For larger projects, we provide a clear written scope of works before starting, with transparent pricing and a realistic programme. We work cleanly and methodically, protecting the rest of the property during construction and leaving the site tidy at the end of each day. We also liaise with building control and structural engineers where required.

What We Offer

  • Brickwork repairs, repointing and rebuilding
  • Internal wall removal with structural support
  • Residential extensions and loft conversions
  • Plastering, rendering and dry-lining
  • Concrete and screed floors
  • Stud wall construction and partitioning
  • Structural repairs and underpinning
  • Commercial fit-outs and refurbishments

Typical Jobs

  • Removing a chimney breast and making good
  • Knocking through a wall between a kitchen and dining room
  • Repointing the front elevation of a Victorian terrace
  • Building a rear extension on a terraced house
  • Plastering a room after a leak
  • Constructing a stud wall to divide a large room

Why Choose Us

We provide a detailed written scope of works and fixed-price quotation for all building projects over a certain size, so you know exactly what you're getting and what it will cost before we start. For reactive repairs, we work on our standard transparent hourly rate. We also have established relationships with structural engineers and building control officers, which speeds up the approval process for notifiable works.

  • Brickwork & masonry repairs
  • Internal wall removal & alterations
  • Residential extensions & conversions
  • Plastering & render repairs
  • Concrete & screed work
  • Stud wall construction
  • Structural repairs & underpinning

Office Repairs & Maintenance

Minimal disruption. Maximum reliability.

Commercial properties have different demands from residential ones. Work often needs to happen outside business hours to avoid disrupting staff and clients. Repairs need to be completed quickly and cleanly, with minimal mess and no lingering disruption. And the person managing the property needs a single, reliable point of contact who can handle multiple trades without the hassle of coordinating several different contractors.

Fixing London is built for exactly this. Our multi-trade team covers plumbing, carpentry, painting, drainage, general building, and handyman work — all under one number. We're experienced working in occupied commercial environments and understand the importance of working quietly, cleanly, and efficiently. We carry full public liability insurance and can provide RAMS for any job that requires them.

We work with office managers, facilities managers, property management companies, and landlords across London. Whether you need a reactive maintenance partner for emergency repairs or a planned maintenance schedule to keep your property in good order, we can put together a service that works for you.

What We Offer

  • Reactive maintenance — emergency repairs across all trades
  • Planned maintenance programmes for commercial properties
  • Office fit-outs, refurbishments and reconfigurations
  • Partition wall installation, modification and repair
  • Suspended ceiling repairs and tile replacement
  • Commercial plumbing and drainage

  • Out-of-hours office repaint over a weekend
  • Partition wall reconfiguration for a growing team
  • Suspended ceiling tile replacement after a leak
  • Planned quarterly maintenance visit for a property manager
  • Full office fit-out for a new tenant

Why Choose Us

We understand that time is money in a commercial environment. Our team is experienced at working in occupied offices and retail spaces, and we always agree a working method with the client before starting — whether that means working out of hours, in sections, or with dust screens to keep the rest of the space operational. We carry full public liability insurance and can provide all necessary documentation for facilities managers and property management companies.

  • Office fit-outs & refurbishments
  • Partition wall installation & repairs
