Recommendation for brilliant Handyman - Aston

Recommended Posts

I also can highly recommend Aston. He came recommended via EDF after I made a request for a handyman to fix our very broken bed. He is efficient, very friendly and responsibly priced. We will be getting him back in a few weeks to clear our garden and do odd repairs around the house. His number is 07490947355.

I can highly recommend Aston's handyman work - 07490947355


He came to fit some blinds for me & hang a wall mirror.


His work was of a very high standard, (a perfectionist no shabby work here).....and he was professional, reliable, honest & reasonably priced.


He is a good old fashioned handyman who comes from East Dulwich.

Aston, I don?t know if you?d be interested in a small job but we have a ground floor flat in New Cross with patio doors to the garden and the door step/cill has rotted. I wondered whether you could advise as to the best option for repair.

Many thanks, Keith Bignell 07941798264

I would highly recommend Aston as he has done allot of work for us in the past.


Aston has assisted in the major renovation of our 1920's home, from assisting in knocking down walls & redecoration to kitchen & bathroom fitting, hanging doors & general refurbishment work including helping clear our severely overgrown garden & landscaping.


Aston is reliable, professional & concientious in his work & pays great attention to detail & finish..........we would definately use him again [Astons telephone number is 07490-947-355].

Hi we can highly recommend Aston, he came and cleared out very over grown, jungle garden, and did a fantastic job of fixing the fence. Aston was completely flexible. He is reasonably priced, friendly and easy going. He also rehung a door and helped relocate a fridge for my partner at short notice. Happy to PM photos of the fence.

I can highly recommend Aston who put up some shelves, fixed two toilet seat fittings, fitted a new shower door and sorted out my living room blind that has been stuck for over 6 months - all very fast and efficiently. Echoing others on professional, punctuality and pleasant to deal with. His number is 07490947355. I'll be keeping it in contacts for further work!

Very impressed with Aston. He fitted my job in at short notice, and did a very thorough professional job for less than what well-reviewed handyman on this forum have quoted in the past. He also gave me some honest advice on how I could have other work done more cheaply rather than taking advantage for himself. And he was a nice chap!


Having been let down by several other handyman from this forum, I'll definitely be getting Aston back next time.

I would recommend contacting Aston for any Handyman jobs. I recently asked him to repair and replace broken floorboards, fit skirting and fit architraves as well as a few other fiddly jobs. He came round to view and quote really promptly, gave honest and useful advice when I really wasn't sure how to proceed. His standards are high, he did a brilliant job, left the place spotless - and a very nice guy! I would definitely recommend him - Aston: 07490 947355

Another recommendation for Aston. He did some bits and pieces around our house (fixing bathroom light fitting, putting up pictures, fixing cupboard doors, fixing a toilet seat, etc) and he did a great job. He was punctual, polite, efficient and I would definitely use him again.

I too would like to give another heartfelt recommendation for Aston. I was able to get hold of him immediately, and he fitted me in very quickly (luckily he had a window at the end of the day sufficient for what we needed). It was a very challenging job at the end of a long, hot day (filling in a missing floorboard at the back of a cupboard in our kitchen, where a mouse had found an entry point this week, and making it accommodate the many cables coming up from underneath...), and he managed it all very skilfully and with total good grace. It was so nice to have someone so genuinely nice but unobtrusive in the house (it was a busy time when he came, with kids' teatime going on in the same room, but he was very relaxed, considerate and friendly and they loved him!). We're delighted to have found him, and hope to be able to use him again in the future.

Hi- I was so pleased with Aston's work previously (see above) that I arranged for him to come back to do more. He installed the dryer vent, cut and fitted a wood worktop, hung some curtain rails ( a tricky job as I didn't realise the plaster had blown) and hung a mirror.


Very very thorough and hard working. Will be preparing another list of small jobs for him to do.


Highly recommmended

    • A repetitive tried and tested cycle that seems to be slowing down in London thankfully. Brixton was the start. Councils consciously and purposely let an area decline until that area is next on the list for social and ethnic cleansing and ultimately gentrification. In come the first wave of arty/ creatives to squat and house share. A few coffee shops and cool but inexpensive cafe/ bars and art spaces open up. The crackheads, dealers and other assorted criminals who were once left to operate openly and brazenly to sell, shop lift, mug, beg, purchase,  publicly consume on decent folks doorsteps, stairwells,in bin sheds and without fear of the law begin to be targeted, rounded up and moved on. A few more jaunty and sustainable coffee shops/ bars appear . The Guardian and other facilitators in the media jump on the bandwagon, first claims of vibrancy are rolled out. Next step a few cool retro clothing shops pop up selling ' reclaimed Levi's for more than they originally cost and ten times the price of what the recently departed charity shop charged. Foxtons open a branch and the arty types and first wavers/ drivers have there first moan about there initially paltry rents going up. The guardian do a generic lets move to Brixton, Dalston, Hackney, Deptford, Walthamstow type double pager. Interview a graphic designer or two who have just bought a former crack den on the manor for next to peanuts. They will later bemoan the next wave who have more money than them. Cool, edgy and vibrant are now the buzzword bingo must use lingo. Few more coffee shops ( how original ) Pop up everything,. Organic and sour dough move in. The night time economy starts to thrive, more cool bars and eateries open. More squats and the last crack house that was once one of many are cleared out. Second wave is around the corner.   All of a sudden there's a visible police presence again and the streets are safe for fun seekers with plenty of disposable cash to chuck about on a dose of vibrancy with added coolness. By this stage even the locally brewed beer is organic. There's queues outside the newly arrived organic, sourdough, artisan and sustainable bakers. Instagram has Brixton trending. The greasy spoon of thirty year has gone cause the lease is up and the landlord has hiked the rents up by 60/70%. Followed by small family run independents that served the community  for decades and more.  The local characters, activists, eccentrics are getting less and less. There's a new show in town for a week or two and until the next brand arrives. Brewdog move in. Former job centres are converted into bars but peak edginess means it's still called the job centre. Followed by a couple more chain eateries. The resident DJ'S and music venues are replaced by another generic brand boasting guest chefs. The Guardian lifestyle section is now on it's fifth or sixth orgasm. Turn a few pages and hypocrisy is rampant with articles on the evils of gentrification, foxtons, capitalism, social cleansing and unaffordable housing. The middle classes continue to arrive in there droves to buy into the vibrancy and multiculturalism supposedly on offer. There isn't much multiculturalism going on at the packed latest place to eat, drink and fart. The multiculturalism on show comes in the form of bar staff, doorman and cheap as chips uber drivers and delivery workers. Rice and peas, jerk everything, red stripe at six quid a can from some hipster haunt that is currently flavour of the month and the place to be seen. The first wavers are now blaming the latest hedge funded brand that's pulled into town for driving gentrification and there soon to be hastened departure to be first wavers again somewhere else. Less cool but up and coming here we come. Covid has certainly helped/ been a factor in slowing down the process of gentrification. I also think it may be the driver for almost putting a stop to it. Remote working, less need to move to London to be near an office, less disposable cash, sky high rents, worthless degrees that relied on that disposable cash , different priorities, knife and gang crime and a large dose of much needed realism has put a huge spanner in the works for the shitty process and cycle that is/ was the gentrification and social cleansing of working class London. Manchester and Liverpool is next on the list for the planners. Thankfully.
    • Can you just queue up to withdraw cash or are other transactions like stamp purchasing required?  Do M&S do cash back?
    • Or don't stop using cash. Stop using your phone or even your watch as a banknote. At the same time avoid the risk of having your card cloned at cash points, by hand held card readers, oyster readers and point-of sale terminals to name a few. God only knows how much damage we're doing to the planet because all the above must require a hell of a lot of resources and juice from the grid. It won't happen though. I know of quite a few people who deem carrying cash about as a pain/ chore. But not a big lump of plastic with a screen and full of personal information that can be easily gleamed. I feel the same about carrying a phone about so i don't most of the time. I'll be in the minority but certainly don't see or treat a phone as a necessity.  You can't get a banknote out of your sky rocket with a phone in your hand. It's become a source of dopamine for many. It's an addiction for many. They're an easy target for thieves. They're a godsend to cyber fraudsters who are stealing billions and are doing so without the need of cash points.
