Carpentry, Fabrication, and Handyman Services in London

I am a queer and kink friendly carpenter, fabricator, and general handyman, based in London and available for work on site and off.

Being queer and kink friendly means, to me, that my clients don’t need to worry about who they are or what they’re into. There’s no need to hide sex toys, dungeon furniture, or anything else about you or your space.

Please be aware that I am not a sex worker. I have had a number of enquiries asking me to work naked, or asking for pictures of me, and I will not reply to these.

I have a wide variety of skills, and can cover most of London, and possibly further afield by arrangement. If you have work you need doing, please contact me- if I’m unable to do the work, I may be able to offer advice, or recommend someone who can. Please note that I cannot undertake gas work.

I work on domestic and commercial properties, both vanilla and kink based. If discretion is required around neighbours or customers, that’s no problem at all.

I charge £35ph for the first two hours, then £30ph for subsequent hours, plus the cost of materials where they are needed. I charge for all time spent on site, and also any time off site spent planning, designing, or ordering materials, though many smaller jobs don’t require this. Minimum job cost is one hour. If you’re a long way away I may have to charge extra for the cost of travel, but I’ll agree this with you before taking on the job.

Please get in touch and ask if you're not sure. I have a wide range of skills but I'm also very aware of my limitations. I am based in East London, and I can cover most of London, and maybe further afield by arrangement. I can work on domestic and commercial buildings, and I also have quite a lot of experience working on boats.

Other Information

My rate is £35 for the first two hours, and then £30ph for subsequent hours. I have a minimum job size of one hour, because it’s not feasible to spend the time travelling to you for less than that.

I generally work between 0930 and 1730, Monday to Friday. I may be able to work outside of those times, but that would be subject to availability, and may incur a higher hourly rate.

I generally take public tranport to jobs- I don’t have a van, so if things like ladders are necessary for the job, you’ll usually need to provide them. If necessary I can assist you with hiring them from a hire company.
