Hi Russell We are delighted with your work.  I loved your no-nonsense lets-get-on-with-it approach.  My daughter has just come in from school and said she wants to stay in her bedroom all evening, as you made it look so lovely!  We’ll definitely be calling on you again in the near future, when we’ve sorted out […]

For customers who want to learn how to do a task themselves next time around, I am very happy to share my handyman knowledge and show how it is done. Just let me know when you make a handyman booking that you would like a lesson so I can allow a bit of extra time.
