Local Handyman Services for Homes in Horley
Horley grew up around its railway station, which opened in 1841 and turned three scattered hamlets into a town. The terraces built for railway workers and early commuters are still there, and they come with the usual older-property issues: solid walls that need the right fixings, lath and plaster ceilings, timber window sills that have taken decades of weather, and wiring that has been added to more than once over the years.
Around those streets sit the 1920s and 1930s semis from the town’s first spread outwards, and the larger estates that went up after 1950 when the population doubled. Properties of that age often reach the point where a consumer unit is overdue an upgrade, or a rewire makes more sense than another repair.
Then there is the new Horley. Westvale Park has brought over 1,500 homes to the north west of the town, alongside The Acres to the north east, and both come with a different set of jobs. Plasterboard on dot and dab needs proper fixings before a television or a run of shelves goes up. Gardens arrive as a blank rectangle, so fencing, outside taps, garden lighting and a decent shed tend to follow within the first year.
Horley also has a large rental market, helped along by its position next to Gatwick and the direct line into London. We work with landlords and letting agents on electrical safety reports, small repairs and end of tenancy work.
Nearer the conservation area at Horley Row, where several of the buildings are listed and date back to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, work needs a lighter touch and materials that suit the building. We are happy to talk through what is sensible before anyone starts.
Our handymen are used to working across this range of properties and take the time to assess the structure and materials involved before starting work, ensuring repairs and installations are carried out safely and neatly.
The team regularly carry out work across Guildford and nearby villages, dealing with the types of jobs that crop up in everyday homes. We understand the practical issues that come with different properties and take a careful, considered approach to every job, no matter the size.

Excellent service, arrived on time and performed the job required which was to replace the ballcock and valve in my water tank in the loft. Colin also did the same task for my Son recently. All good. Would not hesitate to recommend Colin for any plumbing job.
