If you have any questions about the services that I offer, please give me a call and I would be happy to discuss them with you.
Q: How small a job will you do?
A: I am very happy to do larger jobs but I set
up the handyman business with smaller jobs in mind as these are the
jobs that specialist tradesmen are often unwilling to do and my
charging structure is set out in small half-hour increments to
accommodate the smaller jobs, keeping your costs down as many of the
jobs that I do (particularly for the elderly) take under the half
hour. I am able
to help with things such as flat pack furniture assembly, painting,
repairs and emergencies. Please look at my services page for
a better idea or just give me a call.
Q: Do you look after commercial companies and their
properties. We are too small to employ our own full time handyman
but besides the Health and Safety issues for staff, we are too busy to do the
jobs that come up ourselves?
A: Yes, I already have commercial clients on my books
whereby I do ad hoc jobs when needed, from technology to assembling
new furniture to moving premises, small electrical and plumbing
items and general jobs around the premises. For commercial
clients my terms are absolutely and strictly net 30 days, which may
be similar to how you might pay your staff wage bill. I
believe that this strict payment agreement is fair and mutually
beneficial.
Q: Will you undertake major building
projects such as building an extension on a home?
A: I am happy to do
larger work, up to say rejuvenating a whole house interior, but
major building projects would take
me away from my core offering as a handyman which is to help people with those
smaller jobs that they struggle to find anybody to help them with
and frankly you would be better off using a builder. To that
end, when taking on other types of larger projects such as
rejuvinating a whole house, I will only
guarantee 3 flexy days per week on the project in order to
allow for those jobs and emergencies that my other clients might
have. Naturally if during a week, if other business is not
pressing and I have more time available, as is often the case, I
will be able to give more time to your project. All my
Commercial Client's understand and approve of this arrangement as some day they might
unexpectedly need my assistance at a drop of a hat themselves.
Q: Your services page says that you do computer repairs
is this right? and if so could you look at my computer at the same
time if you were to come out to help me with my handyman needs?
A: Yes, I have over 24 years experience of building and fixing
computers and the charges for helping you with your computer would
be the same as doing any of the other multi-trade services that I
provide, just add it to your list of things for me to do! You

Q: I am a private Landlord and my tenants have just moved
out of one of my properties and left the place in a terrible state
with some electrical and plumbing work necessary as well as gouges
in walls, various broken fixtures and fittings and a complete
interior repaint essential. Do you provide a service whereby
you repair and freshen up the whole property?
A: Yes, if wanted, my handyman service can provide a one stop
shop for Landlords, whereby instead of the Landlord having to
co-ordinate an army of different tradespeople, I will either be
capable of doing all the work myself or if required co-ordinate the
specialist trades to attend. This saves the Landlords not only
their time, but also as I can do most work myself, it saves the
various minimum callout fees for all the trades needed in the repair
and makeover often wanted when tenants leave a property. I can also
offer my advice and ideas should it be required for repairs,
redecoration and cost effective savings. If their is a large
amount of work, I may be able to offer a small discount.
