    As always John was fantastic. Quality of work is outstanding and great value for money. Multiple pieces of furniture to be assembled, and a key holder to be hung, all completed in one visit.

    Fitting a new extractor fan in the bathroom

    Posted 30 January

    John did a great job of assessing the problem and installing a completely new extractor fan where there previously was none. John is very easy to work with and I have several other jobs lined up for him going forward.

    Sorted out our living room!

    Posted 04 January

    We had John come over to change the swing direction of our living room door and also to prep and paint out living room walls, ceiling and skirting boards. John did a great job, and was really good with advice too on what paints work better for specific jobs. He was really punctual, very tidy and would definitely book him in again.

But let's be honest, we all have our LIMITATIONS! - I do not do Gas work, plastering, wall-papering, large-scale porcelain or marble tiling work, or routed kitchen worktop joints. I do not do waste removal, and I am not a 'man with a van for hire.'
