The Kensington Handyman is a small family company that is happy to fix anything that is broken in your home, as well as put up new flat pack furniture, fit shelving, hang mirrors and pictures, paint your home and whatever else you need doing.
We are licensed and insured and are happy to do all those niggly DIY jobs you need doing around the house.
As well as general DIY, we can also offer more specialist carpentry services including joinery and cabinet making and kitchen fitting.
I'm Tristan, founder of The Kensington Handyman. The environment and ethics are at the heart of everything I do. I was brought up with those values and they lead me forward in everything I do.
Our small team includes me, my son and my sister, so you can always be sure we share the same values.
I was brought up for 13 years in the countryside in Belgium in a primitive house with just one cold tap that lived in the kitchen, no tv and no fridge, two wood fires, an outside loo and bathroom, we ate food from our garden, wild plants & mushrooms from the fields, milk from our goats & eggs from our chickens.
I learned alot about the relationship between raw goods, wood, food & our environment & our health. We where taught not to put too many logs on and we saw the relationship between the wood that I saw my dad chop, to watching it burn on the fire and feeling the heat, appreciating where it came from and not taking it for granted.
Today The Kensington Handyman is run on 100% Renewable energy since before 2003 with a company called Good Energy, it is now easily available & I believe there is no excuse why we should all not be doing it.
I care about our customers very much, there is nothing I look forward to more at the end of a job than to see a delighted customer, to me that is one of the biggest things that keeps me going. I spend alot of time talking to my prospective customers to find out exactly what they want and need, and I make suggestions that are based on what will be best for them, I take care to suggest things they may have not have thought of and if I see they are making a mistake in their judgement I make sure I let them know that it is not a good idea and I suggest what would work.
We also buy acres of the rainforest to save it forever through the World Land Trust
