    Great stuff from Handyrat coming to reseal our bathrooms today. The job was made even harder due to my previous temp fix job but they still carried out the work in really quick time. Very good service and very clean and polite. Great firm.

    Exceptional from start to finish!

    Posted 05 December 2025

    We recently hired Handyrat for a wide range of work, including brickwork for our outdoor wall, building a new internal wall, hanging doors, plastering, plumbing, and installing a brand-new kitchen with sink and we are absolutely thrilled with the results! Paul is a fantastic tradesma, hardworking, polite, and incredibly skilled. His attention to detail is second to none and everything has been finished to an exceptional standard. Luca was incredible at keeping us updated and always responded to any queries quickly... Top tip - Paul likes his coffee with milk and 2 sugars :)
