The problems I solve for homeowners

  • A to-do list that keeps getting longer
  • Tradespeople who won’t take on small jobs
  • Not knowing who to trust in your home
  • Needing several trades for a handful of jobs
  • Being left to clear up afterwards

Wonderfully excellent, Mark was a consummate professional and really went above and beyond on my assortment of tasks - many I could not have done myself.

Mark helped us with a fee jobs recently which we weren't confident doing by ourselves. Mark did a great job, was careful not to over-promise on what was achievable, and was very polite and friendly. Would recommend and use Mark again, thank you!

We've recently moved to the area and wanted a local handyman to help with things around the house. Mark was great and took up our downstairs carpet/underlay & also the removal of an old key safe out front. We will use Mark again for those odd jobs as and when they come around. Thanks again - regards Gary

How pricing works

Small jobs are charged by the hour. Larger jobs get a written, fixed quote after a visit, so you know the cost before work starts. There’s no VAT to add, and parking costs, where they apply, are the only extra.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be at home?

Not always. Many jobs can be done with a key or keysafe, and we’ll agree what works best for you when we book.

Can you supply the materials?

I bring fixings and common materials. Items like shelves, blinds or paint can be chosen by you, or I can source them.

Will you clean up afterwards?

Yes. Floors and furniture are protected while I work, and everything is left clean and tidy.

Are you insured?

Yes, I’m fully insured, and a copy of my insurance certificate is available on request.
