Handyman Services in Hove
From a single odd job to a full day of property maintenance — we cover all the work Hove homeowners and landlords need.
General Repairs Hove
The odd jobs that pile up: doors that won't close, loose hinges, dripping taps, broken catches, stiff sash windows, cracked tiles, leaking sealant. We combine multiple small jobs into a single visit so you get everything sorted efficiently. Most Hove repair visits cost £80–£200.
Painting & Decorating Hove
Interior painting — rooms, hallways, doors and skirting — is one of our most popular Hove services. We prepare properly: fill cracks, sand, prime bare wood, and apply two finish coats. We also hang wallpaper, including feature walls and period properties with alcoves. See our decorator page.
Plastering & Wall Repairs Hove
Holes, cracks, blown plaster patches — filled, skimmed and ready to paint. Hove's Edwardian and Victorian properties often have original lime plaster that needs compatible materials rather than standard filler. We carry lime-compatible products for period properties. See our plaster repair page.
Carpentry & Joinery Hove
Alcove shelving, fitted wardrobes, sash window repairs, door hanging, period feature restoration — our Hove carpenter has worked in hundreds of period properties and knows the building stock well. See our dedicated Hove carpentry page for pricing and full service details.
Furniture Assembly Hove
IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembled correctly, first time. We also fix or modify existing furniture — adjust ill-fitting doors, add soft-close hinges, reattach broken fixings, and modify units to fit awkward Hove flat layouts. Most assembly jobs are completed the same day.
Property Maintenance Hove
Landlords and letting agents in Hove use us for between-tenancy refurbishments: painting, repairs, deep cleaning sealant, replacing fixtures and fittings. We work quickly, coordinate with letting agents, and provide itemised invoices for your records. Same-week availability for vacant properties.
A Handyman Who Knows Hove
Hove's property stock is unlike anywhere else in the south-east. The BN3 area is dominated by large Edwardian flats with tall ceilings and original features — deep alcoves, original cornicing, sash windows, and lime plaster walls that need a different approach to modern gypsum board.
Common jobs we do regularly in Hove:
- Repairing sash window cords and draught-proofing in Edwardian flats (Church Road, New Church Road)
- Filling and painting cracked cornicing and ceiling roses in period properties
- Alcove shelving and fitted wardrobes in deep chimney breast recesses
- Staircase repairs and bannister work in Victorian terraces (Poets Corner, Hangleton)
- Between-tenancy repairs for landlords with BN3 properties
- TV wall mounting, picture hanging, and smart home installation
We also cover Portslade, Aldrington, and properties on the Hove seafront where coastal salt air causes accelerated corrosion and timber swelling — we specify appropriate materials for marine-exposure locations.

Frequently Asked Questions — Handyman Hove
How quickly can you come out to Hove?
For smaller jobs we typically have availability within a week. Urgent repairs — broken locks, damaged doors, security issues — are prioritised and we can often attend same-day or next-day. Call 01273 044551 for availability. Larger projects like room decorating or fitted wardrobes are scheduled 1–2 weeks ahead to allow for materials.
Do you work on Edwardian and Victorian properties in Hove?
Yes — the majority of our Hove work is in period properties. We understand lime plaster, original sash windows, the use of appropriate fixings for solid masonry walls, and how to match period mouldings and joinery profiles. We don't take shortcuts that damage original features.
Can I book you for several small jobs in one visit?
Yes — this is how most of our Hove visits work. Combining multiple small jobs (a door that won't close, a leaking tap sealant, a picture rail to fit) into one visit is the most cost-effective approach. Make a list, send it over, and we'll quote the whole lot up front.
Are you insured to work in Hove?
Yes. We carry public liability insurance as standard, and are DBS-checked. We're happy to provide proof of insurance on request — some Hove letting agents and managing agents require this before authorising work on managed properties.
Do you work for landlords and letting agents in Hove?
Yes. We work with a number of Hove landlords and letting agents on between-tenancy repairs and ongoing property maintenance. We provide itemised invoices, can coordinate access directly with tenants or agents, and respond promptly to maintenance requests. Call to discuss a maintenance arrangement.
