    Rental property turned around in quick time.

    Posted 11 January

    Colin is always my go to person for my rental and personal properties, good solution solver, experienced in many aspects of the trade and very knowledgeable. Needed a rental turned around quickly, hanging a door, re siliconing areas of the bathroom and kitchen and generally tidying paint work. All this was done in good time. I will always recommend Handyman Hero, his feed back says it all.

    Reliable and skilled handyman

    Posted 20 November 2025

    Colin is a highly skilled problem solver and has completed several projects for us in the past year. He is now our go-to person for any job, big or small, that needs to be done around the house. Most recently, he has sorted out an issue with a noisy, rattling washing machine by re-routing the water feed and waste hoses, refitting the machine on a level surface, and replacing the relevant cabinet door. As always, his work has been completed to an excellent standard. His interactions with us are always pleasant and professional. We trust him completely and can confidently recommend him.

    Handy Man Hero - Another excellent job done

    Posted 21 October 2025

    This is the 3rd occasion that Colin has come back to do work for me. On this occasion, a rather tired and damp shed in the garden required Colin's expertise to ensure that it remained fit for purpose during the coming winter and for the next couple of years. Colin reviewed the required works beforehand, and stuck to his quotation. He drylined the wall in questioned, strengthened the wall and adjacent floor area, and sealed the whole area when completed. I was completely satisfied with Colin's work, and will certainly continue to use his service in the future.
