Brick Laying

Our small wall construction service offers bespoke solutions that complement your garden’s layout and look. Whether you’re after neat flowerbed borders, decorative accents, or a feature wall, each project is crafted to enhance your outdoor space.

For older existing walls, crumbling mortar looks unsightly and can pose a real risk, which is where our repointing service comes in. By removing and replacing old cement, we reinforce your existing wall, give it a fresh look, and ensure it will remain standing for years to come.

Beyond straightforward wall building and repairs, we’re equally skilled at creating eye-catching features for smaller projects. Brick steps, BBQs, and seating areas add practical touches and transform your garden into a welcoming spot to relax and entertain.

Doors Windows & Locks

Over time, wear and tear can cause sticking doors, broken locks, or draughty windows, our professional repair services are here to help. We address various door problems, from sticking hinges to surface damage and faulty handles. Whether it’s an internal or external door, we’ll fix it so it opens and closes smoothly. Windows can suffer from cracked glass, damaged frames, or poor seals, leading to heat loss and reduced efficiency. We repair or replace broken panes, fix faulty mechanisms, and restore frames to keep your home secure and well-insulated. Our services cover locks, too, we handle everything from fixing jammed locks to replacing old or broken ones.

Ceilings, Walls & Floor Repairs

Keeping ceilings, walls, and floors in good shape is essential for a comfortable and attractive home. We repair damaged walls by fixing cracks, holes, and chips, leaving a smooth and even surface. Ceilings with visible flaws, such as stains or cracks, can be expertly patched and refinished. We can patch holes and cracks for drywall also and repair floors.

Plastering

Good plastering makes a big difference to the look and feel of a home. We offer plastering services to recreate smooth, even walls and ceilings in your home. We repair cracks, chips, and holes in existing plaster and skim walls and ceilings. Skimming provides a fine, fresh layer over older plaster, creating a perfect finish for decorating.

Painting

Our professional painting services will refresh and enhance your home, making it look its best. We handle interior and exterior painting, covering all walls, ceilings, and outdoor surfaces.

Indoors, we focus on creating smooth, even finishes that breathe new life into your living spaces, whether a full room makeover or a quick paint refresh. For the exterior, we use outdoor paints that will withstand the elements for many years, protecting your property. For smaller projects, our touch-up and trim painting service is perfect for fixing scratches, scuffs, and worn areas on skirting boards, door frames, or windowsills.

We also cover outdoor wooden features such as decks and fences with staining, which provides essential protection from weathering.

Carpentry

Our carpentry services are tailored to enhance your home with practical solutions that make the most of your space. Storage solutions include built-in wardrobes, cupboards and custom shelving.

For those looking to optimise underutilised areas, we specialise in creating under-stairs storage or loft storage solutions, helping you make the most of every inch of your home. From spacious cupboards to clever shelving systems, we ensure your storage is as efficient as it is attractive.

Our carpentry expertise extends to the finer details that add character to your home. We can professionally fit skirting boards, architraves, and dado rails.

Home Maintenance

Home maintenance is an important part of caring for your property. We clean gutters to keep water flowing freely, reducing the risk of leaks and water damage. We offer pressure washing, too. Pressure washing driveways, decks, and siding restores their appearance, removing dirt, mould, and stains and ensuring they are not a slipping risk.

Flooring Installation

Our handyman flooring installation service begins with assessing your space and discussing the most suitable materials, whether tiles, vinyl, or laminate flooring. Each option offers unique benefits:

Tiles are ideal for high-traffic or moisture-prone areas,
Vinyl combines affordability with water resistance, and
Laminate provides a sleek, modern look.

Preparation is important for flooring installation. The subfloor is levelled or repaired (if necessary) to create a smooth, stable surface. Your chosen flooring is then carefully laid.

In addition to new installations, our flooring services include minor repairs to existing floors, such as fixing cracks, replacing damaged tiles, or securing loose floorboards.

Appliance Installation

Our appliance fitting services make installing your household essentials easy and stress-free. Whether it’s a dishwasher, washing machine, or dryer, we ensure each appliance is properly connected to the water supply, electrical system and drainage. We securely fit TVs and speakers and their brackets to walls for entertainment setups, ensuring they are positioned at the best angles.

Miscellaneous

Our miscellaneous services cover all small tasks in the home, from hanging curtains to installing smoke alarms. If you have an odd job that doesn’t fall into a specific category, contact us, and we’re sure our experienced handymen can handle it.
