"They scoped up the cost of my job and a couple of companies gave quotes. We had the in-house Hey Alfie team do the work. The team tidied up every day before they left. I would definitely work with them again."

Home Makeover & Improvements FAQs

What counts as a home improvement job?

‍Home improvements include aesthetic or functional upgrades, painting rooms, installing shelves, updating fixtures, laying new flooring, or modernising kitchens and bathrooms. It’s about refreshing your space without major construction.

Can a handyman handle full room makeovers?

‍Yes, for cosmetic makeovers. They can repaint, refinish, mount, assemble, and fit accessories. For structural changes or rewiring, a specialist can join the project. Alfie can find one for you!

How long do small home improvements take?

‍Minor makeovers (like repainting or replacing fittings) often take a day or less. Multi room upgrades are usually completed within a few days, depending on drying or curing times.

Do you supply materials?

‍You can choose either way, bring your own or let the handyman source approved materials to match your style and budget. All material costs are agreed in advance for transparency.

How much does a typical makeover cost?

‍Pricing depends on job type, but starts around £80 to £100 per hour for smaller improvements. Quotes are always upfront and itemised.

Are makeovers covered by insurance?

‍Yes. Every improvement project is backed by insured pros and Hey Alfie’s £1,000 guarantee for complete peace of mind.

Can I get design advice?

‍Many handymen have experience suggesting practical design ideas, paint schemes, layout tweaks, or fixture selections. If you need deeper design input, Alfie can connect you with an interior partner.

How soon can I book?

‍Instantly. Same day slots are often available. Booking only takes a chat with Alfie.
