What Your Brighton Handyman Can Do
One call covers most home repair and improvement jobs. We combine multiple tasks in a single visit to save you time and money.
General Repairs Brighton
The jobs that pile up: stiff doors, broken catches, dripping tap sealant, cracked tiles, loose fixtures, draught-proofing, shelf fitting, curtain poles — all the small repairs that make a real difference to daily life. We combine several jobs in one visit so nothing gets left undone.
Most small-job visits: £80–£200
Painting & Decorating Brighton
Interior painting — rooms, hallways, doors, skirting — and wallpaper hanging. We prepare properly: fill cracks, sand, prime bare wood, then apply two finish coats. Brighton's Victorian terrace hallways, period cornicing, and high-ceilinged Edwardian rooms are our bread and butter. See full decorator page.
Single room from £150; full repaint from £1,200
Plastering & Wall Repairs
Holes, cracks, blown plaster patches — filled, skimmed and ready to paint. Brighton's Victorian and Edwardian properties have original lime plaster that needs compatible materials, not standard filler. We carry lime-compatible products and can repaint the repaired area in the same visit. See plaster repair page.
Holes from £10; full skim from £300
Carpentry & Joinery Brighton
Alcove shelving, staircase repairs, skirting boards, door hanging, bannister work, fitted wardrobes — all handled by our local Brighton carpenter. Period properties are our speciality: we match original profiles and use the right fixings for solid masonry and lime plaster walls. See carpentry page.
Door rehang from £60; alcove shelving from £350
Furniture Assembly Brighton
IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembled correctly, including awkward wardrobes with internal fitout. We also fix or modify existing furniture — adjust ill-fitting doors, add soft-close hinges, reattach fixings, modify units to fit Brighton flat layouts (especially top-floor conversions with sloping ceilings). See assembly page.
Most assembly jobs same-day; from £60
Smart Home & Tech Brighton
Ring doorbells, Nest or Hive thermostats, Philips Hue lighting, TV wall mounting, WiFi mesh installation, computer setup — all fitted and configured in a single visit. We're the only Brighton handyman combining traditional trades with home tech. See smart home page.
TV mounting from £80; smart thermostat from £150
A Handyman Who Knows Brighton
Brighton's housing stock is one of the most varied in the south-east. The Victorian terraces of Hanover, Elm Grove, and Preston Park; the Regency townhouses of Kemp Town and The Lanes; the Edwardian semis around Queen's Park; the 1960s flats along the seafront — each building type needs a different approach.
Most handyman visits in Brighton combine several jobs. Here's what we tackle most often:
- Repainting hallways and stairways in Brighton Victorian terraces (high-traffic, high-impact)
- Plaster repairs and repainting in shared HMO and student rental properties
- Sash window cord replacement and draught-proofing (thousands of originals across BN1/BN2)
- Staircase repairs — creaky treads, loose bannisters, missing spindles
- Between-tenancy repairs for landlords: painting, plaster, fixing doors and catches
- Smart home setup: Ring, Nest, Hive, Hue for Brighton's growing remote-working population
- Pre-sale property preparation — making good before marketing
We cover all Brighton postcodes: BN1 (central Brighton, Preston Park, Patcham), BN2 (Kemp Town, Hanover, Whitehawk, Rottingdean), and into BN3 (Hove). No job too small — no call-out charge.

Frequently Asked Questions — Handyman Brighton
How much does a handyman cost in Brighton?
Every job is quoted individually so there are no surprises. There is no call-out charge. For defined jobs (painting a room, plastering a wall, assembling furniture) we quote a fixed price so you know exactly what you'll pay. For small-job visits, send us your list in advance and we'll give you an all-in estimate before we start.
How quickly can you come to Brighton?
For small repairs, we typically have availability within the week. Urgent jobs — broken locks, damaged doors, security issues — are prioritised and we can often attend same-day. Larger projects (room painting, carpentry work) are usually scheduled 1–2 weeks ahead. Call 01273 044551 or WhatsApp for current availability.
Do you work in Brighton period properties?
Yes — most of our Brighton work is in Victorian terraces and Edwardian flats. We understand lime plaster (common in pre-1920s Brighton properties), original sash windows, and the appropriate fixings for solid masonry and lathe-and-plaster walls. We don't use shortcuts that damage original fabric.
Can I book you for a list of small jobs?
Yes — this is our most popular booking type. Send us your list in advance (by WhatsApp or email) and we'll give you a quote and time estimate. Combining jobs in one visit is the most cost-effective way to use a handyman — a single booking typically clears 4–8 small jobs depending on complexity.
Are you insured and DBS-checked?
Yes — we carry public liability insurance as standard and are DBS-checked. We can provide proof of insurance on request, which some Brighton letting agents and managing agents require before authorising work on managed properties.
Do you work for Brighton landlords and letting agents?
Yes. We work with Brighton landlords and local letting agents on between-tenancy repairs, pre-letting touch-ups, and ongoing property maintenance. We provide itemised invoices, can coordinate directly with tenants or agents, and turn around most end-of-tenancy jobs within a week. Call to discuss a maintenance arrangement.
