Commercial handyman

Commercial handyman services for shops and offices in London

The small jobs that keep a shop presentable and safe — a door that will not close, a loose shelf, a stained ceiling tile, a sign that needs fixing — handled by vetted, insured tradespeople who work around your trading hours. One job or a list of them, anywhere in London.

Questions

Commercial handyman: what people ask

Can a handyman work on commercial property?

Yes, for general repairs and maintenance. Work the law reserves for qualified trades — gas, and most electrical work — goes to the right contractor instead, and we arrange that under the same job.

Can you do several jobs in one visit?

Yes, and it is the cheapest way to use the service. Send the list with photographs and we plan one visit with the right materials.

Can the work be done outside opening hours?

Yes. Out-of-hours visits — early mornings, evenings and overnight — are normal for retail, and inside a shopping centre they are usually required.

Do you provide RAMS and insurance documents?

Yes. When a centre or landlord asks for them, the contractor’s risk assessment, method statement and proof of insurance are supplied before the visit.

How much does a commercial handyman cost in London?

It depends on the list, the materials and the hours the site allows. Each job is quoted individually, and you have the price before any work is booked.

Do you work inside shopping centres?

Yes. Works inside a centre are done under its own permit and access rules, usually outside trading hours. MAINTSUPP has already coordinated jobs inside Westfield Stratford City, Westfield London at White City and Brent Cross.

Who carries out the work?

Vetted independent contractors. MAINTSUPP does not employ tradespeople: it checks each contractor’s insurance and competence, briefs them, follows the job and checks the evidence before the job is closed. You deal with one coordinator throughout.

Do you take domestic handyman jobs?

No. MAINTSUPP works for commercial premises only: shops, kiosks, restaurants, offices, gyms and clinics.
