Handyman Services
The small jobs that never seem to get done: we turn up when we say we will, do them properly and tidy up after ourselves. Many of these jobs have a fixed price, so you know the cost before we arrive.
What we can help with
Flat-pack assembly
From a bedside table to a full wardrobe, built square, level and fixed to the wall where it should be.
TV mounting and shelving
Brackets and floating shelves fixed securely into the right wall fixings, with cables kept as tidy as the wall allows.
Doors, locks and handles
Sticking doors eased, handles replaced and standard lock cylinders changed.
Curtain poles and blinds
Measured, levelled and fitted so they hang straight and open smoothly.
Sealant and grouting
Tired, mouldy sealant removed and replaced around baths, showers and sinks, and grout refreshed.
Smoke and CO alarms
Battery smoke and carbon monoxide alarms fitted (you supply the alarm).
If you have a list, bundle it into one visit. Up to half a day is £45 for the first hour, then £32 an hour in 30-minute blocks; anything bigger gets a written fixed price. We will tell you which is better value before we start.
Prices on this page are draft. No VAT to add – we’re not VAT-registered. Fixed prices include the call-out; written quotes are valid for 30 days. Draft pricing – not yet confirmed
Where we work
Based in the North East, we take on work further afield too. If the job’s the right size, we’ll travel for it. Tell us where it is and we’ll confirm. Travel is free within 15 miles; beyond that it is 55p a mile for the extra distance, confirmed before we come. Check your postcode in the quote form.
Questions we get asked
Do you supply the brackets, poles or blinds?
Usually you supply the item and we fit it. TV mounting is the exception: it’s £85 with a standard bracket included (TVs up to 65"), or £75 if you supply your own bracket. If you would like us to source materials, we charge them at cost plus 12% and show them on your quote, so nothing is hidden.
Can you do several small jobs in one visit?
Yes. Add an extra small job on the same visit from £25 (draft), or send us the list: up to half a day is £45 for the first hour, then £32 an hour in 30-minute blocks, and anything bigger gets a written fixed price.
What if a job takes longer than expected?
If we know a job will take more than half a day, we’ll give you a written fixed price before we start. If a small job or call-out runs over, we’ll stop and check with you first, so you can choose whether we carry on at the hourly rate or give you a fixed price for the rest. A fixed price covers the quoted scope only; extra work or hidden problems are photographed, priced in writing and agreed with you before we go ahead.
