The move itself is only half the job. The wardrobe still has to go back together, the shelves need putting up where the old ones were, the bracket has to go on a wall that may or may not be plasterboard, and there is a box of pictures nobody wants to be the one to hang. Drophex Logistics provides handyman services for exactly that list - the small jobs that turn a house full of furniture into somewhere you can actually live.
Our handymen work in homes and commercial premises, either alongside a move or as a separate booking. Flat-pack assembly, dismantling furniture that will not fit through a doorway intact, mounting and fixing, and minor repairs make up the bulk of what we are asked for. Where a job needs a qualified trade - anything involving gas, or work that has to be certified - we will tell you that up front rather than take it on regardless.
Booked by the hour or by the job, with tools brought to site. Tell us what needs doing and roughly how many items are involved, and we will tell you how long it should realistically take.
Flat-pack wardrobes, beds, desks and storage built properly, including the ones whose instructions went missing years ago.
Furniture taken apart so it clears doorways and staircases, then rebuilt at the new address.
Shelves, brackets, mirrors, blinds and pictures put up level and fixed to suit the wall they are going on.
Beds, wardrobes, desks, shelving units and office furniture built square and stable.
Brackets, shelves, mirrors, blinds and artwork fixed appropriately for plasterboard, brick or masonry.
Doors that catch, drawer runners, loose handles and the small faults that surface when furniture is moved.
Owner-occupied and rented homes, including work at the start and end of a tenancy.
Desk builds, shelving and equipment mounting during an office move or refit.
Most bookings sit around a move rather than being unrelated to one:
We are a handyman service rather than a certified trade. Assembly, dismantling, mounting, hanging and minor repairs are all standard work for us. Anything requiring a Gas Safe registered engineer, and any work that has to be signed off and certified, sits outside what we do. If your job turns out to need one, we will say so before it is booked rather than after someone has arrived.
Flat-pack and furniture assembly, dismantling furniture ahead of a move, mounting shelves, brackets, mirrors and blinds, hanging pictures and artwork, and minor repairs and adjustments such as doors that catch or drawer runners that have come loose.
Yes, it is the single most common request. Wardrobes, beds, desks, chests of drawers and shelving units are all standard work, including the ones where the instructions have gone missing.
Yes, and it is often the difference between an item leaving the room and staying in it. Beds, wardrobes and modular units are taken apart, kept with their fixings, and rebuilt at the new address. It can be booked as part of a house removal.
By the hour or by the job, depending on what is involved. A short list of small jobs is usually priced hourly with a minimum, while a defined piece of work such as building several wardrobes is easier to quote as a fixed price. Tell us the list and we will advise which works out better.
Yes. Wall mounting is standard work, and we fix appropriately for the wall in question - plasterboard, brick and masonry all need different fixings, and using the wrong one is how brackets end up on the floor.
Yes, and we would rather be clear about it. Anything requiring a Gas Safe registered engineer, and any work that must be certified or signed off, is outside our scope. If your job needs one, we will tell you when you enquire rather than after a visit.
