Old Brentford, new Brentford — same handyman
Half of Brentford is box-fresh riverside apartments, the other half is the terraced streets that were here before the football ground moved. I work both: fifteen minutes from Hounslow, as comfortable hanging a TV on brand-new plasterboard as easing a hundred-year-old door off Ealing Road.
The new flats bring me flat-pack, mounting and snagging-list work by the block; the older streets bring the classic terrace list. Landlords with a foot in each — TW8 has plenty — get one number for all of it.
Both halves of TW8, one menu
New-build plasterboard needs different fixings from Edwardian brick. I carry both, so nothing gets guessed.

Brentford questions
Can you mount TVs in the new riverside apartments?
Yes — it’s a weekly job. New-build walls are usually dot-and-dab or metal-stud plasterboard, which need the right anchors or a spreader board; see TV mounting. Managing agents’ rules about drilling are worth checking first — I can work within them.
Do you work with Brentford landlords?
Lots of them — TW8’s mix of flats and terraces is classic portfolio territory. One number, tenant liaison handled, photos and Ltd invoices back: see landlord maintenance.
Can you remove graffiti from our shutter or wall?
Yes — the laser takes tags off metal shutters and brick without ghosting, timed before opening hours where needed. Graffiti removal has the details.
