What Our West Bromwich Handyman Service Covers
GS Plumbing And Heating handles a wide range of small-to-medium jobs that do not require a dedicated specialist trade. Whether it is one task or a full list, we complete everything in a single visit, saving you time and the cost of multiple call-outs.
Shelving and Fixture Installation
We fit floating shelves, bracket-mounted shelves, alcove shelving, and wall-mounted storage across all wall types found in West Bromwich properties, from solid brick to modern plasterboard. Every shelf is fixed securely with load-appropriate fixings, levelled, and tested before we leave. According to Checkatrade (2025), most shelving jobs in the West Midlands are completed in 1 to 2 hours.
Flat Pack and Furniture Assembly
We assemble all types of flat pack furniture, including wardrobes, beds, TV units, bookcases, and office desks. We follow manufacturer specifications precisely, ensure all fixings are tight, and wall-anchor where required for safety. Booking flat pack assembly alongside other jobs in the same visit reduces your overall cost significantly.
Door and Window Adjustments
Stiff doors, ill-fitting frames, and draughty windows are common in older West Bromwich properties. We adjust, plane, and rehang doors to fit correctly, replace worn draught seals, and repair minor frame damage. Properly fitting doors also improve energy efficiency, an increasingly important factor for landlords meeting EPC requirements.
Minor Repairs and Odd Jobs
No job is too small. Our West Bromwich handyman service also covers:
- TV and mirror wall mounting
- Curtain pole and blind installation
- Light fitting changes (non-notifiable works)
- Silicone re-sealing around baths and sinks
- Minor tile re-grouting
- Picture hanging and general snag list clearance
In our experience, most customers in Hateley Heath and Greets Green book two or three jobs in one visit. Combining tasks in a single call-out typically saves £90–£150 compared to booking each job separately.

A landlord with a vacant rental property in Hateley Heath needed shelving removed, two internal doors re-hung, and a new light fitting installed before re-letting. GS Plumbing And Heating attended in a single visit and completed all three tasks in under four hours with no mess left behind. The property was re-let within one week, and the landlord avoided three separate specialist call-out fees.
