After seeing so many positive comments I thought I would contact Aston to help me with some shelves and hanging pictures. He was really quick to book me in and was able to fit my timescales. I think he accidentally double booked me but was so apologetic and tried his best to accommodate a time I could do. We found a suitable time and he came round, perfectly on time. He's really lovely and was very friendly, efficient and professional. I would definitely recommend him and having had trouble finding someone local I could count on I will definitely be using him again.
I have also used Aston's handyman services . He came round to do some work on our gutter . He was available the week I called and his price was within our budget.As everyone else has said he was efficient ,professional and friendly and tidied up after the work . I would have no hesitation in using him again when we have any more of those jobs you keep putting off doing yourself.

I have recently had Aston round to do a number of jobs, and have been really pleased with the work. He worked with a colleague to get the work completed in one day, rather than two (easier for coordinating) and they were professional,, tidy, very friendly and took a great deal of care and attention to ensure all the jobs were completed to a very high standard. They both spent a good deal of time clearing up afterwards at the end of the day which was much appreciated.


I have discussed with Aston to get him back for some further work to be done. Really pleased to have found him, and can only echo the positive recommendations already here. Well priced too

Another positive recommendation for Aston. Called him on Tuesday and he came round two days later to rehang a shed door. He was very efficient and took time to clear up afterwards. Will have no hesitation to contact him again if I need a handyman.

Aston did a very professional job fitting a wooden gate that we use as a stair gate at the top of our stairs which are unusually wide and therefore required a home made post etc. He also did a great job fitting parts of our kitchen which were falling apart. He clearly showed his carpentry training. He also did a couple of other smaller jobs. I would highly recommend and would definitely use again.

I would like to make another recommendation for Aston. He did a great job fixing a curtain rail disaster which had left gaping holes in the wall. Now filled, made good, painted and the curtain rail & supports refitted securely, he has done a fantastic job. He was also punctual, polite and efficient, and communicated well throughout the course of the job. Thoroughly recommend for house services. tel. 07490 947355
Just to add to my previous recommendation, Aston has returned to do some fencing work and has done a fantastic job. Again he was punctual, efficient and effective in repairing and putting up new fencing in the back garden. Another strong recommendation. tel. 07490 947355

I would like to also reiterate the professional workmanship of Aston. He spent an afternoon at our house and in that time covered off a multitude of small and medium sized jobs. He was tidy, considerate and very relaxed to be around. We have already booked him in for another time and have no doubts in recommending him.

Hi I would also like to say thanks to Aston who has been to rehang a door plane another one and hang some Roman blinds. His work is always high quality and he is prompt, very polite and turns up on time...


Unlike Sean of Dulwich who I booked to do some work and he never came and didn't answer any messages. So I am not sure why is being grumpy (see above).

I can really recommend contacting Aston (07490 947 355). After the handyman from hell came and did the worst job you've ever seen (of making a cupboard around the utilities), Aston came round, at very short notice, and fixed the whole thing perfectly. He was so polite, efficient (he did in less than 1 hour what the other guy had spend a whole morning doing...and utterly messing up!), and tidy ? I can't recommend him highly enough.

I had major problems fixing a heavy tall IKEA bathroom cabinet to the wall. The fittings I was advised to use by a local DIY store just didn't work and when I put the heavy mirrored door on the whole cabinet came loose from the wall. I needed professional help and looked to the EDF and found Aston. He was able to come round promptly the same morning I phoned (10 April 2017) and his communication was excellent. Despite the holes I had made being far to large and it being inadvisable according to Aston to drill new ones nearby he somehow managed to get the cabinet up very securely. The proof of the pudding was going to be securing the heavy mirrored door. Aston suggested waiting a few hours before doing this to let things settle and in fact I have just screwed the door in two days later. Result? Whole thing - solid as a rock!In addition what everyone says is true: Aston was polite, punctual, informative, very pleasant, reasonably priced and he tidied up. No hesitation in heartily recommending Aston and I now know our port of call for DIY DOS.
Yes... another recommendation for Aston here. I got his details from EDF and didn't regret it. He's just today finished a list of jobs around the house, all of which have been done to a high standard. He's friendly, punctual, tidy and very clear about how he's going to tackle jobs.

Highly recommend Aston. He did a fantastic job, reliable and great finish and lovely guy too! Fantastic to find someone who can do small odd jobs as well as larger jobs and will certainly use again next time we need some bits doing round the house. Thanks!

    • My bike (a ELOPS 120 step over classic from Decathlon) was stolen from outside The Belham this afternoon. I locked it up while I collected my kids, then the street was so busy that I left it there while I walked them home. Did a few other things at home, came back about 5.30pm and it was gone. Sharing just in case anyone sees it or finds it anywhere - it’s a few years old and the chain is a bit rusty/makes a clicking sound so maybe there’s a slight chance someone would dump it! Really annoying and just a reminder to be really careful with bikes. The picture shows the bike model from the Decathlon website.
    • Thanks, I didn't know that.  People are even more stupid than I thought then, if they are willing to wait hours in A&E for an ingrown toenail. I presume they don't get put at the front of the queue. Why isn't the 111 service more widely advertised? That puts you in touch with a doctor, who will advise on the phone or visit, and if necessary  you will be advised to go to A&E or they will arrange an ambulance to take you.
    • It hasn't devolved. It's in exactly the same state it was when it started.
    • A&E isn't allowed to turn people away at the triage stage, even people with hiccups and ingrown toenails... the kinds of ailments a GP might be able to advise against seeking emergency care for. https://www.england.nhs.uk/2025/12/aes-under-siege-from-hiccups-and-ingrowing-toenails/
