About Fettle
The friendly folk who keep your London home in good working order.
A small permanent team, a short list of homes, and a simple promise – the same faces each visit, honest work, and a tidy finish. By recommendation, mostly.

Who we are
Fettle has been looking after London homes since 2023 – a boutique home-care service for a small, hand-picked roster of homeowners. We sit deliberately apart from the one-man-band handyman and the anonymous marketplace – fewer clients, better work, every job carrying a name and a reputation.
A small permanent team of multi-skilled generalists does the day-to-day work. A short bench of personally-vetted specialists covers the jobs that need one – rendering, tree surgery – so there is always a proper hand for the job.
How we work
From a wonky fence to a fresh coat of paint, one team does the lot – painting, plastering, plumbing, fences, floors, carpet cleaning, end of tenancy cleans, odd jobs. The same faces each visit. People who know where the stopcock is, and which floorboard creaks.
Dust sheets down, shoes off, radio low. Work you notice only by the fact everything simply works.
Our patch
A few of the neighbourhoods we know best – the patch itself now runs across north, northwest, west, southwest, south, and central London.
Highbury · N5
Plimsoll Road and around – Victorian terraces, kitchen extensions, gardens kept in order.
Highgate · N6
Bishopswood Road and the hill – period homes, skylights, careful joinery.
Primrose Hill · NW3
Wadham Gardens and nearby – parquet, staircases, the quiet upkeep of fine rooms.
Good hands, good work
Access is the point. We take on a few more homes each season, postcode by postcode, so we can keep doing right by the ones already on the list.
