Home repairs & painting
The maintenance and renovation jobs that need doing properly, painting, plaster repairs, door frames and the rest of it.
Not everything is a fabrication job. Sometimes a house just needs things fixed properly by someone who’ll turn up.
Painting inside and out, plaster and crack repairs, door frames in and out strip-out and renovation work, and the general list of things that have been waiting.
Two things I won’t do: electrical and plumbing. Both need a licensed trade and a compliance certificate. Anybody offering them as part of general handyman work either holds the licence and should tell you, or doesn’t and shouldn’t be near it. I’ll do everything around them and work in with your electrician.

What I don't do
Worth saying up front so nobody wastes a phone call.

Before you ask
Common questions
Will you take on small jobs?
Usually, yes, especially if there are a few to do in one visit, which makes the call-out worth it for both of us. Message me the list and I'll tell you whether it's worth my coming out or whether you'd be better off with someone local and cheaper. I'd rather say so than take the job and overcharge you for it.
Do you do electrical or plumbing?
No. Both need a licensed trade and a compliance certificate, and anyone offering to do them as part of general handyman work is either qualified and should say so, or isn't and shouldn't be touching it. I'll do everything around them and work in with your electrician or plumber.
Can you finish a job somebody else started badly?
Often, and it's more common than you'd think. It costs more than doing it once, usually there's undoing before there's doing. But I'll look at it and tell you honestly what's salvageable.
Do you supply materials?
Either way. I can supply and include it in the quote, or work with materials you've already bought, some people have a specific paint or a specific timber in mind, and that's fine.
