Serving Central London, UK
The problem is not the job. It is every hour before the job gets done.
A shelf collapses at 9am. You have a client in the meeting room at 2pm. You open Checkatrade, post in the London Office Managers group, chase three numbers. Two ghost you. One quotes £280 for a 45-minute job. That is not a handyman problem, that is a sourcing problem, and every marketplace puts it squarely back on you. FixHive removes it entirely. One message, one fixed price, one person at your door by lunchtime.
How a job gets done with FixHive
- You send one message WhatsApp or the intake form. Describe what has broken or what needs doing. A photo helps but is not required. The founder reads it personally, not a bot, not a call centre.
- You get a fixed price, upfront Based on the job type and our standard rates, you receive a clear price before any work is agreed. No surprise invoice, no haggling, no quote that doubles when someone arrives on site. Materials, if needed, are billed at cost and listed separately.
- A vetted handyman arrives within 4 hours We dispatch from a small, curated roster of three to five tradespeople we have worked with and trust. You are told who is coming and when. They arrive in the window confirmed, do the job, and clear up after themselves.
- We follow up and log the job After completion we check in with you and add the job to your premises snag log. Next time something similar comes up, we already know your access arrangements, your preferred booking window, and what was done last time. No re-briefing required.
Why FixHive
4-hour response, not 4 days
From the moment you message, a vetted handyman is confirmed and dispatched within 4 hours. No waiting on quote responses, no chasing tradespeople who go quiet. The founder triages every job personally and confirms arrival before putting the phone down.
Fixed price before anyone arrives
Every job is priced and agreed before work starts. One invoice, addressed to the business, with a clear description of work done. No surprise add-ons, no awkward conversations after the fact, and nothing that needs explaining to finance.
A log of your premises, not just one job
After every visit, a short snag note is added to your record: what broke, what was done, what to watch next time. Over months, this builds into genuine institutional knowledge of your building — the kind no marketplace will ever have.
Services

Frequently asked questions
What counts as a Quick Fix job and what is exactly included in the price?
A Quick Fix covers any single reactive job that takes up to 2 hours of labour: shelf fitting, door adjustment, picture or signage hanging, minor plumbing, replacing light fixtures, adjusting cabinet hardware, and similar tasks. Travel within Zone 1–2 is included. Materials are billed at cost with no markup. The price is confirmed before anyone arrives, so there are no additions when the job is done.
How does the 4-hour response window actually work?
You send a WhatsApp message or fill in the short intake form describing the job. The founder responds, asks any clarifying questions needed, confirms the fixed price, and dispatches a vetted handyman from the roster. From your first message to a confirmed arrival time, the target is under 4 hours. For the Monthly Retainer, same-day response is guaranteed as a priority.
Can I book for the same day and who do I actually speak to?
Yes. Same-day bookings are the core of what FixHive does. You speak directly to the founder, not a call centre or a chatbot. WhatsApp is the fastest route. If a job comes in before midday on a weekday, same-day attendance is the aim. The founder triages every request personally and only confirms a time when attendance is certain.
How does the Monthly Retainer work and is there a minimum term?
The Monthly Retainer includes priority same-day response, two guaranteed half-day visits per month, a dedicated account manager who knows your premises, and a live snag tracker updated after every job. It is designed for SMEs with recurring maintenance needs who want reliable cover without sourcing someone new each time. The minimum term is 6 months. Pricing is quoted based on your premises and requirements.
What areas of Central London do you cover?
FixHive covers Central London within Zone 1–2, with a focus on Shoreditch, Clerkenwell, Soho, and Victoria. If your office or shop is in one of these areas or nearby, travel is included in the job price. If you are just outside these postcodes, message to check — coverage may still be possible depending on the job.
