    Best handyman, professional and skilful.

    Posted 25 November 2025

    Steve has completed various jobs for me over the months, from decorating and floor sanding to fitting blinds and hanging shelves and pictures. He’s 100% professional and gets the jobs done to a high level with ease, always leaving everything tidy as he goes from one task to the next.

    Excellent Job Hanging My Heavy Mirror 🪞

    Posted 13 November 2025

    Steve was brilliant! He came at short notice to hang a large, heavy mirror and did an excellent job. Very professional, took real care with his work, and was friendly and easy to deal with. Pricing was fair too. I’ll definitely be using him again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him!
