Yet another glowing recommendation for Colin! After being turned down by other handymen and a few extortionate quotes, Colin came and started work on the front of our house. He repaired the coving around the door, painted the door, step and bay window. He fixed the wall and honestly the house looks so great! He did a really great job and was very supportive throughout, giving me advice on which paint to buy and sometimes even fetching the materials himself.


He also did some work in the garden, fixed the shed, jetwashing, painting the wall.


All of this comes with a smile! Very trustworthy too.

Hi, Another top recommendation for Colin!


He has recently completed a lot of work in my home, such as tiling, wallpapering, painting walls and ceilings, hanging shelves, you name it. He has done a few rooms in my home now. He is very reasonable, and his work is very good. I'm well impressed! He's also a very nice guy! I will definitely be using him again when very soon.. Oh, I also gave him my house keys everyday, very trustworthy :-)

Another recommendation for Colin - he has repainted the walls and ceiling of our very large living/kitchen/dining room. Done an excellent job, advised us on paint, finished when he said he would and the place looks fab! He is also a pleasure to work with, lovely man.

Thank Goodness for Colin! I texted him yesterday about a faulty overflow pipe at a flat that we rent and he was over there this morning to sort it out for us (having picked up the keys from the estate agents en route). He?s great - honest, reliable, good value and lovely with it.

Colin has just sorted out my wooden bike shed which was much in need of putting back together .Same with our side entrance .


He was quick and resourceful - always able to find a soloution to a problem ( our neighbour doesn't like to have anything touching his property and this makes securing things difficult ) - cheerful and very reasonable .

A few years ago Colin put up a large area of decking. Last week he maintained it as usual by cleaning, pressure washing and varnishing it. Prompt and reliable as always and decking looking great. I would always recommend Colin for any jobs that need doing, he has never let me down.

Just wanted to write another shout out for brilliant Colin the Handyman - he came to do some work for me on Friday and he was just fantastic. Within a minute of walking into my house he had taken apart my faulty fire alarm to fix (it had just broken that morning and not what he was actually there to do) and this just totally sums him up - totally old school hard working mentality - professional, on time and nothing was too much trouble! I had asked him to put a load of flat pack Ikea together furniture for me - not the most exciting job to do in the hottest weather ever and he just totally cracked on.. in five hours he managed to build four book cases, two massive sofas, a large glass coffee table, smaller side table, an arm chair, a racking unit for my larder - he also broke down all the cardboard and managed to get the waste collected for me (along with my old sofa). Totally exceeded my expectations!

Would 110% recommend Colin for all your handyman need - hardworking, trustworthy and just a thoroughly good bloke! His number is tel:07754691541

Just wanted to add a glowing endorsement of Colin's superb handyman services here.

We had a number of small-ish jobs needing doing and were looking for someone who could fill the void when a great man we'd used over many years sadly passed away.

After searching the forum, we messaged two or three handymen we'd found recommended on here: only Colin replied promptly with his rates and offering times he could do.

We needed some flat-pack furniture assembling, a glass bathroom shelf re-fixing and a couple of loose skirting boards made good.

Colin did it all within an hour for a very reasonable fee.

He was reliable, punctual and very easy to deal with: texting him is the best approach given how busy he is 07754 691 541.

I would also like to recommend Colin as a handyman. Colin came to help me with some odd jobs in my flat and I found him to be a very nice and friendly person who is hardworking, resourceful and reliable. He was also quick to respond to text messages and reasonably priced. I was very happy with the work he did and would definitely use him again.

Another recommendation for Colin.


Colin has just completed painting my whole one bedroom flat to a very high standard, this has included the entrance hallway, living room, bedroom, kitchen - all walls ceiling and woodwork. He also undertook new kitchen tiling and is coming back in the new year to do more bathroom tiling and painting once we plumb in a new shower.


Thank you Colin - excellent work.

    • Nasty piece of work. Targets locations with a healthy independent presence and farmers’ markets; typical vampire capitalism. Great supporter of a Brexit too. All good reasons to go elsewhere, preferably small independent., 
    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks 
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967
