    Several minor diy jobs around the house.

    Posted 06 December 2025

    Texted me to arrange a time to visit and give an estimate of costs to do a few minor jobs around the house. Arrived on time and completed all the jobs really quickly and for the same amount as quoted. Would highly recommend and will definitely use him again.

    Garden Decking

    Posted 12 June 2025

    Michael has recently built us new garden decking. He is friendly and reliable. He arrived when he said he would both to quote the job, and to carry out the work. His work is of a very high standard, and his communication through the job was spot on. We will definitely use him again.

The original company was founded in 1987 as Swift Roofing Co, then about 10 years later we started building extensions/loft conversions and general building works and became Swift Roofing and Building Co.

We have now diversified into all aspects of handyman services which includes all jobs in and around your home and garden and have now become HANDYMAN ABOUT THE HOUSE.

We can do:

  • small alterations / kitchen lounge knock throughs.
  • All odd jobs, put up curtain rails and shelves, assemble flat pack furniture.
  • picture / mirror hanging.
  • no job too small.
  • Mowing the lawn/tidying up the garden/fencing repairs/power washing patio/ decking.
  • Just ask, if we can't help you then we know someone who can.

All work is guaranteed and carried out by me if other tradesmen are needed then they are all professional people who I have used and trusted for many years.

I believe in delivering a high standard of workmanship, courteous manners and punctuality as if I am carrying out work in my own family home.
