The Handy Squad Ltd

4.4387 Google reviews

The Handy Squad Ltd is a London handyman company covering plumbing, electrics, carpentry, painting and decorating alongside fitting stud walls and general home repairs. It's structured around individual tradesmen assigned to jobs, so drywall and plastering work sits within a much broader range of home maintenance and installation services rather than being the company's sole focus. It carries by far the largest review base in this category.

Wide range of trades available through one booking system
Individual tradesmen praised by name for thoroughness and explaining the work
Handles both quick repairs and larger, multi-day projects
Skilled, reliable people even if not the cheapest option, per reviewers

Worth knowing

A meaningful share of one and two-star reviews sits alongside the mostly positive ones
Drywall and plastering is one of many services rather than the core specialty

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other London drywall and plastering services. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 from over a hundred reviews carries more weight than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does drywall and plastering cost in London? (2026)

Pricing depends on the size of the area, the type of damage (a small patch costs far less than a full replaster), and whether painting or decorating is included afterward. Damp-related repairs can cost more once the underlying cause is fixed first.

Serving all of London

The services above cover Central London and the wider metro, from Fulham and Fitzrovia to Hampstead and Westminster. Searching for a drywall or plastering service near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and directions so you can reach the closest option fast.

What to ask before you hire a drywall or plastering service

Is the price for patching alone, or does it include sanding and painting to match?
How long does the plaster need to cure before painting can start?
Can you identify and fix an underlying cause, like damp, before patching?
Is the finish guaranteed if cracks or blemishes appear later?
Will the same person quoting the job also do the work?
Do you provide a written quote before starting?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these drywall services?

We started from every drywall and plastering service in London with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Should I hire a plastering specialist or a general handyman for drywall repair?

For a small patch, a general handyman service like The Handy Squad can usually handle it. For a full replaster or a job that needs matching to existing walls, a specialist like Elms Contractor is worth the extra focus.

How long does drywall or plaster need to dry before painting?

Curing time varies by the size and depth of the repair. Ask your chosen service for a specific timeline so you don’t paint over plaster that hasn’t fully dried.

The bottom line

Beck’s Homes UK is the safe default here on rating and review depth for plastering within a wider renovation, while Elms Contractor is the strongest pick if the job is specifically about replastering a wall. Whoever you hire, ask what’s included before the wall gets painted over.
