    Install a new washing machine

    Posted 24 March

    I needed a new washing machine fitted after the John Lewis delivers had decided that it was too fiddly a process for them to complete (the pipe work ran behind another integrated appliance before connecting to the water & waste outlets). The Universal Man had it sorted in just over an hour with no fuss at all. Very pleasant to chat to as well. I’d thoroughly recommend him.

    Oak mantal and bathroom cabinet mounting

    Posted 17 March

    I needed an extremely heavy oak mantal attaching to my wall, and a very heavy bathroom cabinet put up. When we opened the cabinet box it was self assembly which I didn’t realise and he put it together without complaint and swiftly and attached securely to the wall. Polite and professional, will use again for any jobs I need doing

    David removed the old shower screen and fitted the new shower screen. He did the work very promptly - the day after I contacted him.

    Built an ottoman bed and a walnut wooden dining table

    Posted 30 December 2024

    Very good experience. Managed to lift and build very heavy wooden table. Also built ottoman bed and went to resource the correct bolts (not included in instructions). Very good service all round.
