How much does a handyman cost in Hackney?

A handyman in Hackney is charged by time at £60 + VAT for the first 30 minutes and £30 + VAT for each additional 30 minutes, with no call-out fee, so most small jobs are done within the first charge or two. Gas and boiler work is charged separately at £98 + VAT per hour because it is carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Saturday appointments are charged at the same weekday rate with no weekend surcharge.

• £60 + VAT for the first 30 minutes
• £30 + VAT for each additional 30 minutes
• Gas and boiler work £98 + VAT per hour
• Saturday charged at the same weekday rate
• No call-out fee

A worked example: a typical one-hour visit, such as fitting a set of alcove shelves or mounting a TV and hanging a few pictures, is around £90 + VAT. Because so many Hackney homes are Victorian terraces with a running list of small jobs, we can combine several tasks in a single visit, which spreads the first-half-hour charge across the lot rather than paying a call-out for each.

Areas of Hackney we cover

Silver Saints covers the whole of Hackney across E2, E5, E8, E9, N1 and N16, and the work tends to track the neighbourhood. Stoke Newington and Newington Green (N16) are dense Victorian terrace country, much of it around Church Street and Clissold Park. Clapton and Homerton (E5 and E9) run from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to ex-local-authority estates and the new-build flats along the Lea. London Fields and Hackney Central (E8) mix period terraces with conversions and flats above the high street. Dalston (E8) is busy mixed stock with a lot of rental, De Beauvoir Town (N1) is grand early-Victorian terraces and squares, and Hackney Wick (E9) is warehouse and live-work conversions on the Fish Island side. We name these because the building type drives the job, and a handyman who knows the difference turns up with the right fixings.

The jobs we are most often called to in Hackney

The most requested Silver Saints jobs in Hackney follow the borough's building stock, which is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraces with original fireplaces and sash windows alongside a growing band of warehouse conversions and new-build flats. Alcove shelf fitting either side of a chimney breast is our single busiest local job, fitted on original plaster and masonry in the terraces of Stoke Newington, Clapton and Homerton. Sash cord replacement and draught proofing comes from the same period stock, worked carefully on original timber frames. Leaks, tap and grout work come from the period bathrooms, and in the Hackney Wick and Fish Island warehouse conversions the work shifts to specialist fixings for exposed brick, concrete and steel, including TV mounting on brick feature walls and picture hanging on masonry. Flat-pack assembly and TV mounting come from the new-build flats along the Lea and around Dalston.

What working in Hackney is actually like

Working in Hackney means planning around tight controlled parking and one of London's densest rental markets, which a local handyman factors into every visit. Most of the terraced streets and estates sit under controlled parking zones with permit or pay bays and little off-street parking, so we plan loading rather than circling, and Kingsland Road, Mare Street and the one-way systems shape how the day is routed between jobs. Conservation areas cover large parts of Stoke Newington, De Beauvoir Town, Clapton and the London Fields squares, where for period windows and external doors repairing the original timber is usually right rather than replacing it. Hackney has one of the highest concentrations of private rental and shared housing in London, so a lot of our work is between-tenancy turnarounds and landlord compliance booked at short notice, and the warehouse conversions around Hackney Wick bring their own live-work fit-out and fixing jobs. Our handymen are dispatched from across East and North London so we can usually reach Hackney addresses the same day or next day.

The full range of trades we cover in Hackney

Silver Saints is multi-trade, so one visit can cover work that would otherwise need several different tradespeople. We handle plumbing repairs from dripping taps to leaks, electrical work such as sockets, switches and light fittings, alcove and shelf fitting, sash cord replacement and draught proofing of sash windows, flat-pack furniture assembly, TV wall mounting including on brick and masonry, picture and mirror hanging, and Gas Safe gas safety certificates. Tell us the full list when you book so the visit is planned to cover it.

Landlords and letting agents in Hackney

Silver Saints works with a large number of Hackney landlords and letting agents, because the borough has one of London's densest private rental and shared-housing markets across Dalston, Clapton, Homerton and Stoke Newington. We carry out Gas Safe gas safety certificates with same-day certificates, handle between-tenancy repair lists in a single visit, and turn around the small compliance and maintenance jobs that managing agents and HMO operators need at short notice. Invoicing and arrival windows are arranged to suit managed portfolios.
