Fitting blinds/curtain poles, re-sealing baths/shower trays, installing shower screens, installing tv brackets/tv screens, handrails, constructing and/or fitting shelving and storage solutions... these are just a few examples of commonly requested jobs but are by no means an exhaustive list, in fact barely scratching the surface of the variety of jobs I am routinely requested to carry out.

If your in any doubt please just simply ask and I can let you know. I don't carry out painting.. sorry.

Landlords: I am extremely selective when considering whether to work in a rental property or not, I do not work for slum landlords, nor do I work for career landlords with 'portfolio's' of properties whom in my opinion are part of the problem regarding the current and disgraceful UK housing market. Please only contact me if the property being rented out is in a good condition where you yourself would genuinely and happily house your own loved ones, and also if you are able to demonstrate some degree of humility towards tenants and care for the properties upkeep as if you were living there yourself. If making an enquiry, please be clear and state that you are a landlord and that the property in question is a rental. Sadly, experience with many landlords has forced me to include this on the website.
