Maker and fixer of things.
I aim to get all those jobs done you either don’t like, don’t have time for, can’t do or are having trouble getting someone else in for, I work in an orderly fashion keeping mess to a minimum and tidying up afterwards. I have a great eye for detail and pride myself on the final finish.
Perhaps you just need another pair of hands with tools to help and guide you through a project on your own? or perhaps you’ve had a party and a small accident happened that you’d like to get fixed asap? – I’m more than happy to help.
For the few jobs beyond my scope, like gas connection/disconnection I use industry qualified engineers that I have worked with before, so you get all the correct and safe certification and a fuss free service. If you want me to liaise with your own prefered people then of course I will.
