    Highly recommend

    We asked Harry to do a number of jobs - hanging light fittings; changing a door lock, fixing a mirror etc. He did all with great precision - no fuss, just got on with the job. Furthermore, he was a delight to have in the house! Highly recommend.

    Kitchen Tiling and Lighting

    Harry did an excellent and meticulous job in re-tiling the kitchen, fitting downlighters and painting the walls. He turned up on time every day and was very pleasant and professional to deal with. I thoroughly recommend him.

    Fitting a blind

    Repairs were needed to the wall before the blind could be fitted. Andy did a good job, making sure he only did what was needed to achieve the desired outcome

    Thanks so much for the review David. Part of the service is to complete the brief without unnecessary escalation. All the best, Harry (not Andy 😉).

Hello, I'm Harry, a premium handyman. I am polite, competent and reliable with skill sets applicable to all areas of your home or business - bathroom, kitchen, sitting room, garden, restaurant or office. Expect high quality workmanship, and the site left spotlessly clean. I am experienced with period properties and newbuild alike.

I specialise in:

  • Mounting (TV's, shelves, artwork, mirrors, etc.).
  • Decorating and repairs (utilising fast cure techniques and various spray equipment).
  • Custom furniture fabrication with 'live edge' solid wood (including resin river techniques).
  • Garden maintenance (all machinery is battery powered minimising noise and air pollution).
  • Kitchen and bathroom fitting.
  • Plumbing (excluding boilers).

I can also help you with:

  • Flooring.
  • Carpentry.
  • Door hanging.
  • Furniture assembly.
  • Decking.
  • Clearing.
  • And much more…

I own a large van, and a wide array of tools for the completion of tasks from 'first fix' through to a high-quality finish. My tools include dust extractors, ladders, drills, saws, joinery power tools, paint sprayers, precision hand tools, laser measurement/levelling aids, pressure washer and landscaping power tools. I pride myself on trustworthiness, excellent communication, precision, attention to detail, and work carried out as if your property is my own. I first developed my skills working on my home and those of friends and family. I now enjoy a good professional back-catalogue and reputation.

Recent projects have seen me redeveloping a single bed flat (rendered uninhabitable from water damage) into a premium two bed flat, saving a garden from rampaging bamboo, laying laminate flooring, repointing a brick patio, building a custom invisible service hatch into a lathe and lime plaster ceiling, brick laying, hanging valuable artwork, cutting down and removing trees, refitting and decorating a bathroom, fixing a 65” TV to a plasterboard wall, mounting floating shelves above a sofa, and fixing a toilet seat.

I funded my way through university as a removals man and driver at a premium company. For the last 25 years I've been touring the world as a sound engineer and running my own audio rental business (which was on hold during the pandemic, but now back up and running and trading well). Amica Home Services is a business born out of necessity during successive lockdowns, but I am passionate about the work and find it very rewarding. I am keen to promote sustainable materials and practices in all my projects, working carefully and efficiently to achieve an environmentally conscious, high-quality, long-lasting finish.

Across both businesses my motto is 'efficiency and consistency', and my reputation has been built on attention to detail and quality. I have loyal customer bases who often cite my trustworthiness, calm confidence and affability in reviews. I am a certified supplier at English Heritage and regularly work surrounded by priceless artefacts in London galleries and museums and other grade 1 listed buildings. I will bring this level of service to every job.

I look forward to hearing from you!
