Odd Jobs We Do in Brighton & Hove
The things that have been on your list for months. We combine multiple small jobs into one efficient visit.
Doors & Joinery
Doors that won't close, catch on the floor, or let in draughts. We plane, rehang, adjust hinges, replace latches, and fix stiff sash windows — all common in Brighton & Hove's period properties.
From £60 per door
Shelves & Storage
Floating shelves, alcove shelving, TV unit fitting, wardrobe rail installation — measured, levelled, and fixed securely into solid brick or stud walls. We bring all fixings needed.
From £40 per shelf
Picture & Mirror Hanging
Mirrors, large canvases, gallery walls, heavy art — hung level and safely. We use the right anchors for every wall type, including the solid masonry walls common throughout Brighton flats.
Up to 5 items from £60
Sealant & Grouting
Old bath sealant stripped, cleaned, and re-siliconed. Shower tray sealant, kitchen worktop gaps, window frames. We also regrout tiles where the grout has cracked, stained, or fallen out.
Bath re-seal from £60
Plaster Repairs & Filling
Cracks, holes from old fixings, damp patches, blown plaster — filled, skimmed smooth and ready to paint. Particularly common in Brighton's period properties where plaster has settled or been damaged.
Small repairs from £60
Flat-Pack Assembly
IKEA, Argos, and any other flat-pack — assembled correctly, first time. We also modify existing furniture, fix ill-fitting doors, add soft-close hinges, and assemble outdoor furniture ready for summer.
Most items from £40
Locks & Security
New locks fitted, existing locks adjusted, door chains and bolts added. We fit British Standard locks and can advise on upgrading to anti-snap cylinders — important for older Brighton front doors.
Lock fitting from £60
Touch-Up Painting
Scuffs on walls, chipped skirting boards, a door that needs repainting — we handle single-room repaints and smaller painting tasks that don't justify a full decorator. Tidy, fast, no mess.
Touch-ups from £80
Small Electrical & Tech
Light fittings swapped, TV wall mounted, smart thermostat installed, power strip routed — all the small tech and electrical jobs that don't need a full electrician but do need someone who knows what they're doing.
From £50/hr

What Brighton Customers Say
"Had a whole list — sticky door, three shelves, a cracked tile sealed and a mirror hung. Lubos came on Thursday and did the lot in one visit. Excellent value and everything done properly."
— Richard C., Fiveways, Brighton BN1
"WhatsApp'd a photo of my bathroom sealant and a list of six other jobs. Got a quote same day, booked for the following week. All sorted in about 3 hours. Tidy, on time, good communicator."
— Gemma P., Kemptown, Brighton BN2
"New tenant moving in — needed door adjusted, new lock fitted, a shelf put up and touch-up painting in the hallway. Done in one morning. Would have taken me weeks to get different tradespeople in."
— David H., Hove BN3, landlord

Frequently Asked Questions — Odd Job Man Brighton
What counts as an odd job?
Anything that needs doing around the house but doesn't require a specialist trade. Stiff doors, shelves to fit, sealant to replace, pictures to hang, small plaster repairs, flat-pack assembly, lock changes, touch-up painting — if it's been on your list for a while, it's probably an odd job. We also combine multiple jobs into one visit, which is far more cost-effective than multiple separate call-outs.
How much does an odd job man cost in Brighton?
Our rate is £50/hr with a 2-hour minimum, or a half day (4 hours) for £180. For most jobs we give a fixed price rather than an hourly rate so you know exactly what you're paying. A typical "list visit" covering 4–6 small jobs usually costs £150–£250 depending on complexity. We always quote before starting.
How quickly can you come out?
For most Brighton and Hove areas we have availability within a week. Urgent repairs — broken locks, security issues, damaged doors — are prioritised and we can often attend same-day or next-day. Call 01273 044551 to check current availability.
Do you work in period properties?
Yes — the majority of our Brighton work is in Victorian and Edwardian properties. We know how to fix into solid masonry walls, work with original lime plaster, ease original sash windows, and avoid damaging period features. We carry appropriate fixings and materials for older buildings.
Can I give you a list of different jobs?
That's exactly how we prefer to work. Send your list via WhatsApp with photos where helpful, and we'll quote the whole lot together. Combining jobs in one visit means you pay once for travel and setup time instead of multiple call-out fees — much better value.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry public liability insurance as standard and are DBS-checked. We're happy to provide proof of insurance on request — useful if you're a landlord or managing agent arranging work on a tenanted property.
