5 stars rating James H., Primrose Hill

I needed several large wardrobes assembled in my flat near Regent’s Park. The team from The Better Handyman arrived exactly on time and worked incredibly efficiently. What would have taken me days was finished in a few hours, and everything—including the door alignments—is perfect. It’s a relief to find someone so reliable in Primrose Hill.

5 stars rating Mark T., Camden

Finding a handyman who is willing to travel across the M25 for a list of small odd jobs can be difficult. The Better Handyman helped us mount a heavy mirror and fix a few sticking doors. The work was methodical, the pricing was transparent, and they left the place spotless. A very practical and trustworthy service.

5 stars rating Sarah L., Camden

We used the service for a small office fit-out in North London. They handled everything from desks to complex shelving units with total precision. They were professional, tidy, and clearly knew their way around different furniture brands. We’ll definitely be calling them again for future maintenance.

Frequently asked questions for our electrical services

My Primrose Hill home has original Victorian features; can you upgrade the electrics without damaging them?
Yes. We specialize in “sympathetic” electrical work for period properties. We use non-invasive routing techniques and specialized tools to install modern wiring, USB sockets, and smart switches while preserving your original lath-and-plaster walls, decorative cornicing, and skirting boards.
What is an EICR, and do I need one for my rental property?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection of your home’s fixed wiring. For landlords in London, this is a legal requirement every five years. For homeowners, we recommend an inspection every ten years (or sooner if you notice flickering lights) to ensure your system meets current BS 7671 safety standards.
Are you “Part P” compliant for bathroom and kitchen work?
Absolutely. Under UK Building Regulations (Part P), electrical work in “special locations” like bathrooms and kitchens must be carried out by a competent person to prevent fire or injury. We ensure all our installations in these damp-prone areas are fully compliant, utilizing RCD protection and moisture-rated fittings for your total peace of mind.
Why does my circuit breaker keep tripping when I use the kettle or toaster?
This is a common issue in older London homes where the original circuits weren’t designed for modern, high-draw appliances. It usually indicates an overloaded circuit or a faulty appliance. We can perform a load assessment and, if necessary, install a dedicated circuit to ensure your kitchen runs smoothly without constant trips.
I want to install a Ring Doorbell or Nest Thermostat; do I need an electrician?
While some smart devices are battery-powered, we strongly recommend hardwiring them for reliability and to avoid constant battery swaps. We can safely tap into your existing doorbell transformer or heating control system, ensuring a clean installation with no visible wires and a stable connection to your Wi-Fi.
What should I do if I smell “fishy” or burning odors near a socket?
Turn off the power at the consumer unit immediately and call us. A fishy or acrid smell is a classic sign of “arcing”—where electricity is jumping across a loose connection and melting the plastic casing. This is a significant fire risk that requires urgent professional attention to replace the damaged component and secure the wiring.
