Small snag afterwards was sorted the next day at no charge. Communication throughout was excellent.

Really pleased — turned up when they said, explained the options and cleaned up afterwards. Payment only released once I was happy.

Hiring in London: what to know
What affects mechanics prices in London
Access, parking and the age of the property are the biggest cost drivers in London. Jobs in Islington and Camden often involve older stock, so allow contingency for hidden repairs. Materials and waste removal are usually quoted separately.
Permits and local rules
Work affecting structure, drainage or the exterior of a property in Greater London can need building control sign-off, and skips or scaffolding on the highway need a council permit. Verified pros on Tradzigo arrange these as part of the job and list them on the quote.
Best time to book in London
Demand across E, EC, N peaks in spring and just before Christmas. Booking two to three weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of mechanics; emergency slots are available year-round for urgent work.
