Žižkov is a district full of character – older brick tenements alongside refurbished lofts, student digs and family flats. It’s one of Prague’s most active rental markets. I work here regularly and I know what Žižkov flats need.
Why handymen are in high demand in Žižkov
Žižkov has one of the highest tenant turnovers in Prague. Almost every other customer says: “I need this done before the landlord inspection” or “I have to fix it before I hand back the keys.” Painting, filling drill holes, changing the lock, minor repairs – I can handle these quickly and on time.
Typical jobs in Žižkov
Furniture assembly after moving in
New flat = new furniture. IKEA PAX, BILLY, Kallax – I assemble these in my sleep. A whole room done in an afternoon, everything level, everything fixed to the wall.
Painting before handing back a flat
A departing tenant leaves walls marked by pictures, furniture, or just normal wear. I fill the holes, sand, and paint. A standard room takes 4–5 hours.
Lock replacement
Moving into a new flat? Replacing the cylinder lock is a basic security step and takes 20 minutes. I also fit security hardware and additional locks.
Repairs in older buildings
Žižkov’s turn-of-the-century tenements have their quirks: uneven walls, non-standard door sizes, old wooden windows. Minor repairs to doors, windows, cupboards or floors – that’s exactly my kind of work.
Lighting and sockets
Swapping old fittings for modern LEDs, adding a socket or moving a switch – common in older flats. I replace electrical components (sockets, switches, light fittings).
