About Us
Thanks for dropping by. Having worked in Operations for many years in 2017 I set up my own business to improve the magic work/life balance. With a growing list of customers and expanding workload , Lynsey (my wife) joined me in 2019 to pick up the garden and decorating jobs. We are available to complete a wide range of maintenance jobs to free up some of your valuable time, so do get in touch and let's see how we can help you out. Click on the Gallery for some examples of work we have completed.
Time at Home is so important so let us pick up some of your odd jobs for you...
Flat Pack Assembly
We can put together all your flatpack furniture without the frustration of doing it yourself and I even carry a few odd bits if parts are missing
Carpentry and Construction
I love creating, designing and making items from wood so set me a challenge. Fire surrounds, shelving, garden furniture, pallet wood projects, boxing in of pipework, carving, door adjustment, etc. How about a one off Birthday present for someone?

Rates and Pricing
Happy to discuss rates over the phone or we can call round for a quotation as required. Jobs outside of the local area might incur travel costs but we will always discuss that with you so you have the costs upfront.
We can also work on a day rate and work through a job list , which is more cost effective for you.
Do give us a call or contact us via the form at the bottom of the page.
I would highly recommend this service. He is a good time keeper. Works at a steady pace. Can deal with a large variety of different jobs. Pleasant manner. Good standard of finish to all work. Speedy completing the work. I had a long list for him and he completed it all and had a small amount of time over which he completed another job for me without being asked. Good communication before and during the work. Very pleased to have found him and will certainly use him again. He charges a reasonable rate.

Lindsay is absolutely fantastic and has transformed our mess of a garden. What I love the most is her communication, you know when she’s going to show up and she does so with such a lovely attitude. I have to say, I’ve never met such a hard worker, I have to stop her so she drinks a cup of tea! I wouldn’t choose another gardener, she has been amazing. It’s nice to look outside and see a good garden. Definitely recommend.

I can highly recommend this handyman.
Jim arrives on time and works hard and solidly. He is polite and friendly and the results are excellent. He doesn't say he needs two days to do a job when he only needs one. He will quote you exactly the time he needs and will advise on materials if needed.
He did an excellent job on painting my double bedroom, fitting my blind and headboard and resealing my bath and removing mold from the bathroom ceiling. He had my room ready in a day!. Thanks Jim.

Not only has James completed a quality product for us, he worked with us from understanding the design, researching how to build a climbing wall, through to the construction itself. He was easy to communicate with and engaged with our daughter Seren (who the wall is for) throughout the build. We couldn’t recommended him more highly and are already booking him for some less adventurous work.
