    Not so Handy-man

    Posted 26 February

    Agreed a day rate, but was charged more as apparently a day was only for 6 hours. Extra time he then charged for fixing own mistakes. Made several mistakes throughout, put Tv up wonkey, put rough cut panels on show at the ceiling, new clean edges hidden behind Tv. Stepped on and broke my fireplace housing. He set panels in an ad hoc way and left a gap in the middle of them. With this "Handyman" there is always something else to blame, but the truth is his skill level is just low. As an amateur DIY person I honestly could have done it better. Do not use this person, or you will regret it.

    Hi thank you for your custom it was regrettable that the key material needed the frame that everything is attached to was missing causing extra time spent and labour diverting from the original project Kind regards
