Need a handyman to fit shelves in London? We install floating shelves, standard wall shelves, alcove shelving and custom shelving for homes, flats and rental properties across London.

Whether you want one shelf put up securely or a full run of shelving fitted neatly and level, we assess the wall type first and use suitable fixings for the job. That matters because shelf fitting can vary a lot depending on whether the wall is solid brick, plasterboard, dot-and-dab or tiled.

What we can help with

• Fitting floating shelves
• Fitting wall-mounted shelves
• Alcove shelving
• Adjustable shelving systems
• Shelves supplied by you
• Bespoke shelving built to fit your space

How the service works

Book online or call us for a same day or next day appointment, subject to availability. Your handyman arrives within an agreed 60-minute window, checks the wall and the shelf type, and gives you a clear estimate before work starts.

Most standard shelf fitting jobs are completed in one visit. If you need bespoke shelving, we can carry out an initial survey and then provide a fixed written quote.

Shelf fitting costs

Standard shelf fitting is charged by time. The current rate is £60 + VAT for the first half-hour and £30 + VAT for each additional half-hour.

A single floating shelf often takes around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the wall and the fixings needed. Bespoke shelving is quoted separately after a survey visit.

Why proper shelf fitting matters

Shelves need to be level, secure and properly supported for the wall they are going into. The wrong fixing can lead to movement, poor weight support or damage to the wall. We check the wall before drilling and fit shelves with the aim of making them safe, tidy and practical for everyday use.

Areas we cover
