About Handy's Property Services, London

Reliable South London Interior and Exterior Property Refurbishment Specialist with 25+ Years’ Experience.

Vast experience in all types of work, from small upgrades up to full refurbishments.

No payments up front – you only pay when the job is done and you’re totally happy with it.

See me completing 70+ real jobs for real clients on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HandysPS?sub_confirmation=1

I’m Russell from Handys Property Services.

I specialise in high quality workmanship, attention to detail, and jobs done to a VERY high standard.

If you are looking for real quality, you are in the right place.

I also aim to remove the guesswork and risk involved when hiring a tradesperson, ideally giving you full peace of mind before you employ me that you're making the right decision.

Here is how I do so -

YOUTUBE CHANNEL – REAL PROJECTS

Most tradespeople show staged photos. I show the actual work.

My YouTube channel contains over 70 videos of real jobs carried out for past clients, showing both the process and the finished results.

This takes away the guesswork when hiring me.
You already know how I work, the quality of my work, and you get a good feel for the type of person I am just by watching the videos.

NO UPFRONT PAYMENTS

There are no advance payments at all. You pay ONLY when the job is finished and you have confirmed you're happy with it.

This is a level of reassurance that NO other tradespeople offer their clients in the South London area.
I am literally putting my money where my mouth is.

ONE PERSON ON SITE AND ACCOUNTABLE FROM START TO FINISH

Nearly all work is carried out by me personally, so there is one experienced tradesperson fully accountable throughout your project.

If a task legally requires certification or a specialist, such as a gas engineer, trusted professionals are brought in while I continue to oversee the work to ensure the right standard.

NO LABOURERS OR SEMI-SKILLED WORKERS

Apart from rare circumstances, I do not use labourers, apprentices, or semi-skilled assistants.

Important work is NEVER handed over to someone less experienced, less skilled, or less motivated to achieve a high quality finish and protect your home.

Many companies use labourers or semi-skilled workers to keep their own costs down. This almost always results in a lower standard of work.
I avoid this by carrying out the work myself, to my standard, resulting in the highest quality work.

REVIEWED & CHECKED

My background, insurance, and qualifications have been checked by TrustATrader and other independent bodies, so you can have full peace of mind.

2 FREE 1-YEAR GUARANTEES

I provide a one-year workmanship guarantee on any job that I do, free of charge.

TrustATrader also has so much confidence in my work that they also put a second, free of charge, 12-month guarantee on any work that I do.
This guarantee has never been used by any of my clients to date.
However, for peace of mind, it doesn't cost you anything to register your TrustATrader guarantee, and you can do so on the link below.
