    Garden Shade Sail Instalation

    Posted 23 July

    We had the great pleasure today to meet Leon, who carried out a garden shade sail instalation for us over our patio, including the instalation of metal posts and wall fixings. Leon is friendly and professional, did an excellent job promptly and gave expert advice. Highly recommend and so glad we have found him! Will be repeat customers for sure. Thank You Leon!

    He does it all!

    Posted 30 April

    We had a few jobs we needed doing around the house, extractor fan had fallen, gate post had moved so it was unusable, bathroom grout was long overdue for replacing. messaged Ozzy on here and he was super quick to respond and after sending some pics, gave a price list and came out a couple days later. Ozzy is such a nice guy! really great communication and did an excellent job with our issues for a fair price. will recommend him to anyone who needs a handyman!

I have 10+ years of handyman experience and the main thing I specialise in is garden maintenance, putting together flat pack furniture and general handyman jobs around the house.


I always have my own tools at hand (including multiple drills, a variety of drill bits, and all forms of gardening tools) and can help carry items and arrange assembled furniture where you want it.


I am also a walking jukebox, so we can have a karaoke session while I work!!
