A FAMILIAR FACE, AT HOME & AT WORK

Small jobs.
Big difference.

You deal directly with me, from your first WhatsApp message until the job is finished. That means clear communication, no call-centre and no different people turning up.

Years of practical experience and a creative, solution-focused approach mean I look beyond the immediate fix. I think about what works well, looks right and stays practical in everyday use.

  • Practical and creativeThoughtful solutions that suit your space.
  • Clear in EnglishEasy communication on WhatsApp, before and during the job.
  • Neat finishCare for the detail, your interior and the clean-up.

  • Careful work and quality materials

MY HANDYMAN RATES

Clear and
straightforward.

Transparent pricing, no surprises.

For small jobs I do not usually make fixed quotes. I can give a realistic time estimate based on your photos, video and the situation.

Materials, parking and any time spent collecting supplies are charged separately. I will make that clear before we start.

For small and medium-sized jobs I normally give a time estimate instead of a fixed quote. Larger projects can be discussed separately.
