Your display lighting fails an hour before opening — and your expositors look like a stock room, not a premium retail space. A jammed showcase lock blocks access to merchandise. A shelving unit sags in the sales floor. In retail, every technical failure has a direct impact on sales. Handyman24 arrives the same day, works outside your trading hours and never disrupts customers or staff. or submit a B2B request — we respond the same day.

Dark display = missed customer

In-store lighting is not an aesthetic question — it is a sales tool. Shopper behaviour research consistently shows that properly lit products attract attention, are perceived as more valuable and convert at higher rates. A burnt-out lamp above an electronics expositor, a darkened window display or a non-functioning backlit panel near the checkout — each of these signals to the customer: details are not taken care of here.

In furniture and interior showrooms in Śródmieście the effect is even more pronounced: a client comes to see a product at its best — literally. If display lighting does not work, or works only partially, the presentation loses its purpose and the sale often falls through. We respond quickly and effectively, because we understand that every hour with faulty lighting is a measurable loss.

Retail equipment installation and service

Stores and showrooms are complex technical environments — combining electrical systems, display structures, security systems and interior finishing into a single smoothly operating whole. We cover everything: from initial installation through ongoing maintenance to small repairs that usually have no clear owner.

Display lighting

Light in a store serves multiple functions simultaneously: it draws the eye, highlights merchandise and builds brand atmosphere. We keep every element of the lighting system working — from tracks to individual bulbs.

Track lighting systems

Track systems are the standard in shops and showrooms — they allow flexible repositioning of spotlights as the display layout changes. We install new single-phase and three-phase tracks, replace damaged adapters and fittings, diagnose power interruptions in sections and adjust the direction of individual spotlights.

LED vs halogen — what we recommend

Stores still using halogen pay up to four times more for electricity than they would with a LED equivalent of the same colour temperature. For a store with several dozen spotlights the difference on the energy bill is significant. We recommend LED at 3000–4000 K: warm tones work for clothing and jewellery, cooler tones for electronics and technical showrooms. We source compatible replacements so you do not need to change the track system.

Window-front spotlights

The shop window is the first line of sales. Spotlights highlighting the window display must work flawlessly — especially after dark, when the contrast between an attractive, lit window and a dark facade decides whether a passer-by steps inside. We replace burnt-out fittings, adjust light angles and resolve power supply issues.

Expositors and facade systems

Modular shelving install

Modular shelving requires precise installation — both in terms of vertical and horizontal alignment and secure fixing to floor or wall. We install shelving systems from scratch, add missing sections, replace damaged load-bearing elements and adjust shelf levels after display repositioning.

Glass cases and locks

Showcases holding high-value items — jewellery, watches, premium electronics — require working locks and intact seals. We repair stiff and non-closing locks, replace cracked glass panels, adjust hinges and seals, making sure the case again displays the product rather than the problem.

Security systems

Camera mounts and cabling

Cameras in a store should be invisible to customers but visible to a potential shoplifter — a fine line between effective deterrence and intrusion into the retail interior’s aesthetics. We mount cameras discreetly, route cables through channels and trunking, connect recorders and verify correct coverage of all risk zones.

Anti-theft hardware

Entry gate systems, security tag dispensers, alarm loops on expositors — we install and service complete anti-theft systems. When faults arise we identify the cause of false alarms or non-response and resolve quickly so the system works effectively again.

What we fix in stores — full scope

A store is not just product — it is a space, infrastructure and equipment that must work flawlessly for sales to run smoothly. We repair and service every element of that infrastructure.

Electrics and track systems

Blown fuses, non-functional sockets at checkout counters, power interruptions in lighting sections, UPS system faults, wiring problems at till points — we diagnose and fix all electrical issues. Work on installations requiring licensed qualifications is carried out with certified specialists, which we confirm before starting.

Furniture (shelving, counters)

Bent shelves, broken brackets, drawers on sales counters that will not close, loose legs on expositors, missing anti-slip feet — we repair and adjust retail furniture so it looks solid and safe from the customer’s perspective. We work with Ikea, Vox, Tegometall and equivalent systems.

Finishing and minor repairs

Chips in walls, damaged skirting boards, cracked tiles at the entrance, a front door that does not seal properly, squeaking hinges — these are details that customers notice and that they do not forgive in an upmarket store. We fill defects, replace damaged finishing elements and ensure the space looks well maintained.

Pre-opening / post-closing — no sales downtime

A store cannot stand in maintenance mode during peak hours. We plan every service visit to avoid any overlap with your team’s working time or customer presence.

The most common service windows our retail clients use: mornings before opening, typically between 7:00 and 10:00, when security is on site but shoppers are not; evenings after closing, typically 20:00 onwards; overnight for larger installation works when the store is entirely empty. We work weekends and public holidays — precisely when the store is closed for a market day or public event is often the best time for a maintenance check. Contact: fill in the B2B form and we will agree a time that fits your calendar.

Case study — display fix in Złote Tarasy (Śródmieście)

A premium accessories retailer in Złote Tarasy contacted us on a Wednesday morning. Three sections of track lighting above the central display had stopped working the previous evening — most likely after a voltage spike. High-value merchandise, display at the main walkway, trading weekend approaching fast.

We arrived Thursday evening after closing. Diagnosis: damaged section power supplies and two burnt-out spotlight adapters. We replaced the power supplies, brought compatible adapters from our stock and adjusted the spotlight angles after replacement. Everything took under two hours. Friday morning the store opened with a fully operational display. We now service this store on a regular basis — quarterly lighting checks and same-day-or-next-day response to faults. We run similar contracts for retail clients across Mokotów and Praga.

FAQ for retail managers

How quickly can you arrive after a fault is reported?

We make contact the same day and agree a visit time around your store’s operating hours. We are typically on site within one to two working days. For urgent situations call directly — we will give you a straight answer on how fast we can get there.

Do you work outside store opening hours?

Yes. We work pre-opening, post-closing and overnight — precisely so we do not disrupt sales or customer service. Out-of-hours visits carry a surcharge, which we confirm upfront with no hidden costs.

Do you issue VAT invoices and work on B2B contracts?

Yes, strictly formally: contract, work completion report, VAT invoice. For retail chains and multi-site operations we offer standing service contracts with a guaranteed response time.

Which expositor systems do you work with?

We work with most popular shelving and display systems available in the Polish market — including Tegometall, Ikea for Business, Naxos, Visplay and bespoke custom-made solutions. If you have a specific system, describe it in your request and we will assess the scope before visiting.

What does the guarantee cover?

Every repair and installation is covered by a thirty-day guarantee. If something does not function correctly after our visit we return and fix it at no charge. That is our standard, not an exception.
