    Superb service, dependability, reasonable prices

    Posted 24 November

    Richard's work is of the highest standard and he is very reliable and pleasant to deal with. Richard did multiple jobs for us on several occasions (installed new shed roof, reattached downward drain pipe, planted a hedge and shrubs, removed a very tricky built-in desk, put up some shelves, rehung a gate). All these were done very quickly and efficiently, and he cleaned everything up after the job was finished. Quality work at a reasonable price from a very dependable and nice person. It is also nice to know that Richard is very considerate toward vulnerable clients (as per earlier review).

    Very friendly! Gave me a quote in no time at all 😃 Door shaved and rehung for my bedroom cupboard, extended shelving in the same cupboard and organised custom shelving under my stairs! I'm so happy because now I have storage space! Thanks so much!

    handyman: shelving, cabinet, toilet seat

    Posted 12 March

    Richard did an excellent job quickly and neatly. He responded super fast to my ad and was able to come out the same week. He moved and fixed a shelving unit, hung a mirror, installed a toilet seat and installed a large mirrored cabinet in my bathroom. When he arrived I offered him an FFP2 mask as I'm clinically vulnerable. He was very agreeable to wear it and even stepped back a meter or so from my front door to put it on which I thought was very considerate. I would strongly recommend him to anyone clinically vulnerable or needs to take health precautions for any reason. Thank you very much
