I wouldn't hesitate to recommend TM Hughes. The water from my bath and sink was draining extremely slowly. We had tried liquid drain unblockers but these had failed. After a visit from Terry and one of his fantastic plumbers our water now gushes away at a rate we've never seen before. A huge thank you to both of them.

Home Maintenance

Staying on top of regular maintenance is one of the best ways to protect your home. Our team specialises in various upkeep tasks that keep your property looking its best and working efficiently.

Cleaning Gutters

Clogged gutters can quickly become a major headache. They cause rainwater to back up and damage your roof, walls, and foundation. Our professional gutter cleaning service removes built-up leaves, dirt, and debris to maintain effective drainage. With routine cleanings, you’ll extend the lifespan of your gutters, avoid water damage, and keep your home safe.

Pressure Washing Driveways, Decks, & Siding

Over time, driveways, decks, and siding can accumulate dirt, algae, and grime. Our pressure washing service uses water pressure and cleaning solutions to eliminate stubborn stains without harming the surface. The result is a dramatically refreshed exterior that looks well-kept.

Carpentry

Carpentry projects can completely transform the look and feel of your home. They also add practical functionality. Our skilled carpenters combine traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques to bring your ideas to life—no matter how simple or complex.

Building or Repairing Furniture

We design and build custom furniture for your style, space, and practical requirements.

Installing Shelving

Well-designed shelving units can dramatically improve your home’s storage. We can install everything from floating shelves to large built-in units. We ensure level placement, secure mounting, and a final look that integrates seamlessly with your décor.

Assembling Flat-Pack Furniture

Flat-pack furniture often comes with complex instructions, tiny screws, and the potential for frustration. Let us take care of the entire process. We’ll assemble the items accurately, test stability, and position them where you want them.

Bricklaying

Our bricklaying services cover everything from small, decorative walls to repairs and specialised projects that enhance your property’s character.

Small Wall Construction

Low walls or garden enclosures are excellent for defining outdoor spaces, supporting landscaping, or adding visual interest. We work closely with you to determine the right materials, style, and dimensions to ensure the result meets your needs and complements your home.

Brick Repair

Damaged bricks look unsightly. They can also compromise structural integrity over time. Whether the issue involves cracks, spalling, or missing mortar, our brick repair service restores stability and appearance. We use top-quality materials and proven techniques. This ensures your walls or brick features remain strong, safe, and visually appealing.

Repointing

Over the years, mortar joints can deteriorate due to weather, settling, or simple wear and tear. Repointing restores your walls and protects them from moisture, pests, and further deterioration. The result is a cleaner, sturdier surface that extends the lifespan of your brickwork.

Small Brickwork Projects

If you want to add a custom BBQ area, new steps, or unique seating, our team can create a tailored design to suit your outdoor lifestyle. We offer creative solutions that integrate seamlessly with your outdoor living areas.

Flooring Installation

The right flooring and expert fitting can significantly enhance your home. Our Handyman’s ready to help whether you’re installing a brand-new floor or making necessary repairs.

Laying Vinyl or Laminate Flooring

Vinyl and laminate are popular for their durability, affordability, and wide range of styles. We ensure each plank or tile is meticulously aligned and securely adhered to. This approach delivers a finished floor that’s both attractive and hard-wearing. Our process includes evaluating the subfloor, levelling where needed, and installing underlayment for a result that feels comfortable underfoot.

Minor Floor Repairs

Small issues, like minor cracks, chips, or squeaks, can escalate if left unattended. Our team addresses these problems early. Whether it’s a loose board or a scratch, we have the tools and expertise to extend the life of your existing flooring.

General Repairs

No matter how well-maintained a property is, occasional repairs are inevitable. Our handymen tackles all issues, large or small, to keep your home running smoothly.

Fixing Doors, Windows, & Locks

Doors and windows are fundamental to your home’s security, energy efficiency, and comfort. We can fix broken hinges, replace faulty locks, re-hang stubborn doors, and address issues like drafts or poor insulation.

Repairing Walls, Ceilings, & Flooring

Whether you have water damage, cracked plaster, or a squeaky floorboard, our thorough repair services restore your home’s surfaces to their original condition.

Patching Drywall Holes or Cracks

Our drywall patching service seamlessly blends repairs with your existing walls, leaving no hint of damage. After patching, we’ll sand and smooth the area. It will then be ready for painting or wallpapering.

Plaster Repairs & Skimming Existing Plaster

From fixing minor dents to dealing with plaster damage, we can restore your walls and ceilings to a flawless finish. Skimming can also help modernise older walls or achieve a flat surface before decorating.

Painting

A fresh coat of paint is one of the fastest ways to breathe new life into your home, inside and out.

Interior & Exterior Painting

Whether you want a new colour scheme or your home’s exterior needs brightening up, we’re here to help. Our painters prepare surfaces by removing flaking paint, filling holes, and smoothing rough areas before applying high-quality paint.

Touch-Ups & Trim Painting

Sometimes, small tweaks can go a long way in refreshing a space. Our touch-up service tackles chips, scratches, and blemishes, blending new paint with old. We also paint trim, mouldings, and skirting boards.

Staining Decks & Fences

Exposure to the elements can dull and damage outdoor wood. This makes your deck or fence prone to rot and discolouration. Our staining service includes premium products to protect against rain, sun, and insects. With periodic staining, your outdoor areas will remain an inviting, long-lasting extension of your home.

Appliance Installation

Reliable appliances are essential for modern living. Correct installation is key to ensuring they work safely and efficiently. Our Handymen follow manufacturer guidelines and best practices.

Installing Dishwashers, Washing Machines, Dryers & Mounting TVs

A poorly installed washer or dryer can lead to leaks, electrical faults, or even damage to your home. We take the worry out of installation by handling the heavy lifting, ensuring correct connection, and thoroughly testing each machine. We also mount TVs and other electrical devices such as speakers.

Hanging Pictures, Mirrors, or Curtains

Incorrectly hung items can fall and cause damage and even injury. We’ll use precise measurements with the right fixings to ensure your pictures, mirrors, and curtains are level and securely fastened.

Installing Smoke or Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Safety should be a top priority in any home. Properly installed smoke and carbon monoxide detectors alert you to potential dangers early. This gives you time to take action.
