Websites for handymen.

Most jobs are booked in blocks: a two-hour minimum, a half day or a full day, with the rate quoted before we arrive. Small predictable jobs like a TV mount or a faucet swap we will quote flat. You get more value out of a half day with a list of eight things than out of four separate call-outs, so save them up.

Anything requiring a licence we do not hold: gas fitting, new electrical circuits or panel work, structural changes, and roofing beyond a small repair. We will tell you straight away and, if you want, point you to a licensed trade who does. Nobody is well served by a handyman guessing at gas.

We carry standard fasteners, anchors, caulking and consumables. For anything specific — a particular faucet, a light fixture, a mount, a paint colour — either you buy it and we install it, or we pick it up and bill the receipt plus the pickup time. Buying it yourself is usually cheaper.

Usually within a few days for a normal booking, and we keep some short-notice slots each week. You will get an arrival window rather than a vague morning-or-afternoon, and a message if we are running behind — being told is most of what people actually want.

That is the ideal booking. Send the list when you book, including photos, so we bring the right materials and set aside the right amount of time. If we get through it early, we will start on anything else you have; if something turns out bigger than it looked, we tell you before starting it, not after.

Yes. Drop sheets down, tools packed up, debris taken with us and the floor vacuumed. If we cut drywall, the dust gets contained rather than swept around your house.
