    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

    Richard was excellent from start to finish. He completed a number of jobs for us from fitting drain covers to installing curtain poles and fixing leaks. How communication was excellent and he was tidy and reliable. I would not hesitate to recommend.

    Richard is a handyman to have in your dairy, for all those times you want a hard working, pleasant guy to do the jobs you cannot do yourself. He is reliable, his quotes are reasonably priced, clean worker, who tidied up afterward. I would certainly recommend Richard to all my friends and family.
