Complete novice so please bare with me. The well walker bash toy keeps intermittently registering as it has been hit when it hasn't? Sometimes even registers as a hit just from the ball launch, any ideas thanks?

Adjust the switch or bad opto
I'll just get someone out to look at it, I don't want to get under the playfield too scary for me. Thanks anyway.
That really isn’t something worth paying for someone to visit and fix. Find out how it’s triggered (ie: a switch or an optic) then see what adjustments can be made. Sounds like it’s triggering due to vibration so possibly a leaf switch that just needs opening up slightly, it’s really worth getting your hands dirty a little a bit or it’s the wrong hobby for you.

5 minutes on google and I think it’s something like this that triggers the well walker
Look on YouTube on how to remove glass & raise playfield, take your time and see if there’s any adjustment to make switch less sensitive (usually two tiny screws that’s you loosen to allow movement)

Any tips for him on raising a Stern playfield? I’ve not got one myself but recently read about the possibility of playfield dropping into cabinet if you pull it too far forward

Exactly, dont want to risk that.
Oops, that geezer pulled the glass off with the door open 
Follow that video but turn the power off first..
^^^Yeah I will not be dropping a playfield in my Stern again, only the once
I’ll do a video of my TWD and show you where to look in a mo...
Why not have a blanket or similar to rest the glass on when off the machine?
I was getting worried there!

Yeah I should really. But honestly I’ve had those glasses off hundreds of times now with only one fatality lol
I should also say that if you have Premium or LE you won’t have those cheapo latches, there’ll be a handle to pull down above the coin door to release the lockbar.
@Lickashot - I am based in Birmingham and cover your area with pinball repairs. Feel free if you want to PM me if you do not feel up to it yourself. Phil.
Yes, well the switch seemed ok but I just pressed it down a few times and made sure it was in good shape. Seems to have done the trick, lifting the playfield wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Now the labour, parts and time with that I reckon I owe Paul £50 lol 
I mean Rob Zombie
Good stuff! While you’re feeling brave take a look at the plastics behind the Well Walker on top of the playfield. Most of them shipped from the factory fitted incorrectly. The top one should be narrower than the one underneath to allow the Well Walker to fully rotate backwards. Switch them around if not.
