    Paul was punctual, did a great job and fit in with out time scales. When Paul left it was like he was never there he cleaned up and took all waste away with him. We will be using him again for carpentry job and highly recommend him.

    Lots of snagging, silconing, taking down a wall and inserting a pocket door.

    Pawel has done an amazing job, and is much more than a typical handyman (he is an accomplished carpenter). My home renovation has a lot of snagging and some builder caused issues. No issue was too big or small for Pawel, he is extremely hardworking, reliable and tidy. I have already booked him in again.

    Fitting a new side gate, a new sink unit and taps, and hanging an internal door

    Posted 04 September 2021

    Paul was very helpful in advising the fixtures and fittings that I needed for the different jobs and got back to me promptly if I had a question. I was very happy with the level of workmanship and care. Will call him again if I need anything else.

    Installed kitchen tap, installed loft ladder and made insulated hatch, hung blind, + many small jobs

    Posted 02 July 2021

    So pleased I found Paul on Checkatrade, all his work was first class. He made the loft hatch surround with timber that matched the landing door frames. Additionally sanded and stained garden benches, made very neat filler for gap between carpet and new fitted wardrobe and did various other small jobs. Great attention to detail. Always left areas tidy and clean. Will definitely call Paul again when I need work done.
