I would also recommend Andy Jacob. At very short notice, and on Good Friday no less, he came round to look at a curtain pole that had fallen down and taken a load of plaster with it. Holes in the wall are now filled and he?s coming back shortly to put the pole back up now the plaster is dry. Polite, tidy and very reasonably priced. No hesitation in recommending him.

Just had Andy come round to hang a picture on the wall for me - which I was struggling to find someone to do as it's just a little job.


He was super personable and friendly, did the job perfectly and even gave me an option that would leave smaller holes in the wall as we're in a rented place.


He charged a really fair price too. Thanks Andy!

We've had Andy round for the last week redecorating our kitchen, which was in great need of some tlc since it was last done 10 years ago. He repainted the walls, ceiling and windows / doors / skirting (also replacing a section of it), and sanded and re-oiled our wooden worktop, resealing around its edges.


At the end of each day he cleaned and tidied up the space, so it never felt like the area was out of bounds which can often be the case with other trades people until they've finished.


He also gave some helpful advice and lent me some of his kit for other diy work i was doing elsewhere in the house.


He was incredibly patient with youngest who seemed to make it her mission to be especially nosy during his visits!


His rates are very reasonable (and he didn't want paying until the job was done), and everything was done to a very high standard. Would recommend.

W've just had Andy and Steve round to put up a curtain pole and hang a mirror, after hanging a picture for me earlier this year.


Such nice guys, so neat and tidy and super helpful (Andy had to saw some bits off the curtain pole and get a new fixing for it to work for us!), wouldn't hesitate to recommend Andy!

I'd also like to add my huge recommendation for Andy. I found him through recommendations on EDF 3 years ago and he's been my go-to person ever since for everything repair and decorating wise for my flat. He recently did a week's worth of work with a tight timeframe (sanding and repairing kitchen benches, painting, and some general repair works - fixing door handles, a kitchen cabinet and a bathroom towel rail). He worked enormously long days and called in people to help get it done in time. He's incredibly hard-working, reliable and professional, and a really nice guy to boot - and can't recommend him highly enough.
Ooops. I'm Australian of origin and just realised "to boot" doesn't translate the same here in the UK. In Australian "to boot" means "as well/in big addition". Sorry Andy! I meant to say "he's a super nice guy in mega addition" (to all the other positives I said) about him in a professional capacity.

Andy has been amazing in helping us redecorate our new house and has given us excellent tips for what to do with the ugly ceilings we inherited. He also was able to help with jobs where we were struggling with but hadn?t considered asking for his help. He is unfailingly polite and charming and gets things done quickly and efficiently. He is also trustworthy and was able to continue the work whilst we were away on holiday. We would definitely recommend him for anyone needing a helping hand.

Another recommendation for Andy - he came at short notice to put up some shelves and pictures for us, along with offering some sound advice on how to sort another problem we had. He was extremely friendly, experienced and seemed a very kind and honest person. He cleaned up behind him and his rates were very reasonable, I can't recommend him enough.

Another recommendation for Andy Jacobs.


This is the second time we?ve used him. He came round to fit a new shower screen and new door handles. The screen was tough to fit but Andy was calm and careful to make sure the tiles damaged. He was committed to finishing the job despite it taking longer than anticipated.


He is personable, very tidy and does a great job.


His number is 07564 194363

Highly recommend Andy - for small jobs such as fitting a shower hose to larger jobs such as painting a whole flat. His work is of a fantastic standard, he?s friendly and approachable and his prices are really reasonable. He?s my go-to handyman every time I need something fixing.

Andy has been to our house 3 times to do a variety of jobs from repairing a floor, hanging and shaping doors to hanging high curtains and pictures. He has arrived promptly each time, been polite and friendly to my dog and family and overall very tidy and professional. He is very reasonably priced and didn't charge us more when he needed to come back one day with a different piece of equipment.


I would highly recommend him.

Another recommendation for Andy. I've been using him for years for all my decorating and handyman needs, this time to disconnect and remove a fridge which was wired in which the delivery men couldn't do. No job is too much hassle for him to do and he always does an amazing job at very reasonable rates. I wouldn't use any other handyman in East Dulwich!


His number is 07564 194363 - call him now you won't regret it!

Hello, I'm chiming in to add a recommendation for Andy, who built me a shed at very short notice when the shed company let me down! He did a great job - the shed is perfect, the work was quick and tidy and high quality. I'm really pleased with the result and am grateful to Andy for his prompt and efficient service!

    • I’d just like local family businesses to not be shut down by big chains, and I think we should support local businesses and our community. I’m sure they are very nice people who pay their taxes too.

    • You may have seen an article in the paper today about Jewish leaders and notables calling on the UN and world leaders to sanction Israel [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/22/jewish-notables-open-letter-un-sanction-israel], "... Prominent Jewish figures around the world are calling on the United Nations and world leaders to impose sanctions on Israel over what they describe as “unconscionable” actions amounting to genocide in Gaza. Over 450 signatories, including former Israeli officials, Oscar winners, authors and intellectuals have signed an open letter demanding accountability over Israel’s conduct in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. The letter’s release comes as EU leaders meet in Brussels on Thursday amid reports they plan to shelve proposals for sanctions over human rights violations. “We have not forgotten that so many of the laws, charters, and conventions established to safeguard and protect all human life were created in response to the Holocaust,” the signatories write. “Those safeguards have been relentlessly violated by Israel.” ..."   There is also a petition we can sign to support them in their call for justice: Direct link: https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/stand_with_jews_demand_action_loc_cp1/?tUwBCsb&v=502713833&cl=22394973010&_checksum=7dc99acb5dd4fc5a43a24e21772f51005ea239753e9ae3033d9f79ffd6119559 "For the first time since the ceasefire, a powerful coalition of Jewish voices have come together, urging world leaders to keep the pressure up until real accountability and freedom are achieved.Their call can shift the political mood and give leaders courage to act decisively -- Amplify their voices and stand with them: The demands of Global Jewish Voices: To respect and abide by the decisions of the International Court of Justice, noting their application also in the West Bank and East Jerusalem; to apply arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court; and to resist efforts to unduly pressure and influence and prevent the workings of both courts. To refuse any complicity in continued crimes and violations of international law against Palestinians by Israel, including by ending the provision of arms and other relevant goods and services; to use relevant leverage, including targeted sanctions on governmental bodies and individuals responsible for violations of international law, and suspension of relations with commercial entities contributing to these violations. To ensure that humanitarian assistance reaches all Palestinians in Gaza at the scale that is commensurate to their vital need, that the blockade is lifted and materials for reconstruction enter, and that there is a full Israeli military withdrawal. To refute false accusations of antisemitism that abusively deploy our collective history to tarnish those with whom we stand together in the pursuit of peace and justice. If you are of Jewish heritage you can also sign here, and we will add the number of your voices to support the Jewish call for justice. Posted: 22 October 2025"  
    • I've actually met Luke Johnson and he's actually a very amicable, witty and extremely clever man. He's also created thousands of jobs and generated millions and millions of pounds of tax revenue for the government, offering goods and hospitality that countless millions of people have enjoyed over the decades. I'm not a fan of Gail's but I'm also not a fan of people who knock down good guys that have contributed a huge amount to this country.  Anyway, French Patisseries and southern hemisphere coffee don't belong on Farmer's markets.
