My work covers general household repairs, maintenance and improvements.
I’m happy to do many things, from the small jobs like changing tap washers, hanging things on walls and changing light bulbs all the way up to large projects like kitchen and bathroom refurbishment. See below for more detail of what I do.
I charge an hourly or daily rate, depending on the size of the job, plus materials. I’m happy to give an estimate of cost before I start work.

Unusual
I like variety in my work and do occasionally get asked to do things outside of the normal range of things. Here are a few examples of the less common things I’ve done:

Designing a number of handrails for less able people and fitting them after getting them made
Putting up totem pole type sculptures made by local children
