English speaking handyman in Copenhagen
Just moved to Copenhagen and standing in an empty flat with no tools, no drill and a pile of flat-pack boxes? We assemble the furniture, hang the lamps and curtains, mount the shelves and fix the small things landlords notice — and we do all of it in English.
One fixed rate of 510 DKK per hour including VAT, a proper Danish invoice, and a clear price before we start. No membership, no bidding, no strangers from an app.
What we help internationals with
These are the jobs we are booked for most often by expats, students, diplomats and relocating families across Copenhagen.
IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly
Wardrobes, PAX systems, beds, desks and shelving units assembled correctly and secured to the wall where needed. We bring the tools and take the packaging with us.
Curtain rails, blinds and curtains
Danish flats often have concrete ceilings and plaster walls that ordinary screws will not hold. We measure, drill and mount rails straight and solid, then hang the curtains.
Lamps, pendants and ceiling fixtures
Most Danish flats come with no lamps at all. We mount ceiling lamps, pendants and wall lights at the right height where an existing electrical point is in place.
Shelves, mirrors, TV brackets and pictures
Heavy mirrors and TV wall brackets need the right anchors for the wall type. We pick the correct fixings for plaster, brick or concrete so nothing comes loose.
Small repairs and move-out fixes
Doors that stick, loose hinges, holes in the wall before a move-out inspection, skirting boards and handles. Collect your list and we handle it in one visit.
Clear-outs and disposal
Leaving Copenhagen or clearing a basement room? We remove old furniture and belongings and take everything to the recycling station.
How it works
1. Tell us the task
Write a few lines in English about what needs doing. Photos help a lot, but are not required.
2. Get a price
We reply with an estimated number of hours, the total price and a time that fits your schedule.
3. We do the work
We arrive with tools and fixings, work tidily in your home and clean up before we leave.
4. Invoice by email
You receive a Danish invoice for the hours actually spent, ready for reimbursement if relevant.
Frequently asked questions
Do you speak English?
Yes. We work with internationals in Copenhagen every week, so the whole job — quote, visit and invoice — can be handled in English.
What does it cost?
Our fixed rate is 510 DKK per hour including VAT, and you only pay for the time actually spent. Materials and disposal are agreed in advance, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Which areas of Copenhagen do you cover?
All of Copenhagen and the surrounding municipalities: Østerbro, Nørrebro, Vesterbro, Indre By, Frederiksberg, Amager, Ørestad, Nordhavn, Valby and Greater Copenhagen.
Do I need to buy the screws and fittings?
No. We bring standard fixings, drills and anchors for Danish walls. If a job needs specific materials, we tell you the cost before we start.
How fast can you come?
Usually within a few days, and often the same or next day for urgent jobs. Write a short description of the task and we reply with a price and a time slot.
Do I get a proper invoice?
Yes. You receive a regular Danish invoice by email, which also works if your employer or relocation agency is covering the cost.
