Handyman Service

If you have a small repair that needs fixing around the house and you don’t know where to turn – let us help!
We now employ tradesmen who can assist with minor work such as:

• Minor Plumbing
• Electrical Work
• Joinery Work
• Minor External Work
• Small Tasks

A fixed charge of £25.00 is made for the service and all material costs are recharged (minor works should take our tradesmen a maximum of 1 to 2 hours to complete)

If we are unable to provide tradesmen ‘in house’ for the work required, we will provide a list of local reputable contractors who will carry out the work.
