Great job

Tristan did what it said on the tin. He was excellent. Sorted out our main front door which had been sticking and went on to sort out a number of other small jobs which had been hanging around for a year. Everything left clean and tidy and working. Great job.

A great handyman

Tristan is fast, efficient and polite. He came to the flat to look at a broken freezer and immediately sorted the issue out.

I will definitely recommend him to anyone who needs help around the house!

Life saver

Tristan was a life saver - I had another handyman company cancel on me last minute the day before I traveled and was desperately trying to finish up some basic works at home. I called Tristan around 1pm hoping for a last minute spot in his calendar and he was able to send someone over by 5pm who got the job done flawlessly. Such a friendly, professional and high quality service. Could not be happier with how my new mirror and paintings look! Will definitely be a repeat customer.

A respectful, hardworking handyman

Taro helped me with a difficult task of having to move a lot of boxes around in two storage spaces so they could be labeled to be shipped abroad. He never complained once, and just did the work quickly and respectfully. I would definitely use the Kensington Handyman’s services again.

Excellent work at reasonable rates!

Tristan fitted a wall ladder for me and also replaced two bathroom extractor fans. The work done was first class and I was very impressed with the quality of his work. He also did the work in less than half the time that i had been quoted by other companies and his rates are very reasonable. Would definitely use Tristan again for any jobs around the house!

Impressed, thank you!

Tristan was great, very helpful over the phone and by text, investigating the issue (a busted door closer that had popped out and was preventing the front door from closing!) before he came to ensure that it wasn’t a wasted trip. Once he accepted the job he was there well within the promised hour and because he had prepared properly he completed it fast and efficiently. The price he gave me over the phone was the price that was paid and it was so refreshing not to be ripped off! A great alternative to the dodgy emergency london locksmiths. Thanks so much!

I called Tristan this morning to see if he had any last minute availability, after his first couple of jobs he was able to squeeze me in. I have new tenants moving in on Saturday and one of the wooden blinds in the lounge had come down and needed refixing which he sorted toady. I live near Sheffield and managed to do it all via text with the help of the letting agency. I would recommend to future people with handy man needs . Thanks again.

Very responsive! Was able to get someone to my place really quickly to resolve the problem in an affordable way. Another company told me that I had to take out all the tiles but turns out that wasn’t true.

He loves a problem!

I’d had an idea about turning a wardrobe into a small office with a pull-out desk, but was unsure how to go about it.
“I love a problem” said Tristan on arrival and proceeded to solve that one with calm expertise before progressing to the many other things we’d had on our Wish List for ages. Such a relief to have had them sorted at last!
Tristan takes pride in his work, is meticulous and reassuringly reliable. We’d recommend him highly.
