Handyman services for The Helix (Science Central)

Formerly known as Science Central and now branded The Helix, this innovation quarter has transformed the old brewery site west of the city centre into a cluster of modern offices, laboratories and university buildings. Occupiers range from start-ups and research teams to larger organisations, and their spaces change often.

Handy Andrew provides practical support for offices and workspaces here. We assemble and rearrange desks and storage, mount screens and whiteboards, fix signage, adjust doors and hang pictures and artwork. When teams expand or move, we can tackle the many small fixing jobs involved, and at the end of a lease we make good walls and fittings. We do not touch lab equipment, specialist services or fixed electrics. Work can be scheduled out of hours, and we are happy to follow building management sign-in and safety rules.

Typical premises: Modern office and laboratory buildings, university facilities and new residential blocks on a regenerated city-centre site.

Handyman The Helix (Science Central): common questions

Do you follow building rules at The Helix?

Yes. Buildings at The Helix have their own sign-in, permit and safety procedures. We are happy to follow them, provide method statements where needed and work around your building manager's requirements. Please share any site induction requirements with us before the first visit.

Can you help with lab spaces?

We can help with general fixtures in labs, such as shelving, noticeboards and furniture assembly, but we do not handle laboratory equipment, specialist gases, fume cupboards or fixed electrics. Those need specialist contractors. We are happy to work alongside them on the general tasks.
