Not every job needs a specialist trade - but it still needs doing properly.
Our general handyman service covers all the everyday jobs around the home that often get delayed, ignored, or half-finished. Whether it's a one-off task or a list of small jobs, we can take care of it efficiently and professionally.
Typical handyman work includes:
Bathroom & Kitchen
Small plumbing issues, worn fixtures, or minor tiling problems can quickly become frustrating. From fixing leaks to resealing baths and showers, we make sure your bathroom and kitchen stay functional and tidy without unnecessary hassle.
Water Filter Installation
Under‑sink and inline water filters can significantly improve taste and reduce limescale and contaminants - but poor installation can lead to leaks, pressure loss, or premature filter failure.
Correct fitting ensures safe operation, reliable performance, and avoids problems like drips or reduced water pressure.
Why we recommend this filter: The Waterdrop TSA is a strong choice for anyone wanting reliable under-sink filtration with NSF/ANSI certification. Its 3-stage system effectively reduces chlorine, lead, PFAS, and other contaminants.

Fixing Leaky Taps, Sink Wastes & Minor Plumbing
Drips from wastes often go unnoticed because they're hidden in cupboards. Over time, constant moisture swells chipboard units, causes mould, and weakens fixings. Catching it early usually means a simple replacement of a gasket or waste - far cheaper than replacing a whole unit.
We also handle a range of other minor plumbing jobs, including:
These small repairs keep your kitchen and bathroom fully functional, prevent damage from leaks, and save you from more costly work further down the line.

Resealing Baths, Showers & Sinks
Damaged silicone allows water to seep into walls and flooring. Once moisture gets behind tiles or under a bath edge, you're looking at blown bath panels, soft floors, and costly reinstatement.
A fresh bead of silicone is quick - and stops the rot before it starts. If we're too late to save the panel, we're experienced in replacing bath panels

Re-fixing or Replacing Loose Tiles
Even one loose tile lets water through, leading to damp patches, blown plaster and surrounding tiles coming away.
Fixing it early is quick. Leaving it risks a much bigger repair.
Living Areas & Bedrooms
Whether it’s a door that sticks, a blind that won’t hang straight, or a mirror that needs securing, we tackle those everyday annoyances that affect comfort and safety in your home.
Repairing or Fitting Curtain Rails & Blinds
Once rails or blind brackets loosen, they rarely stop - often pulling out completely and leaving large holes and damaged plaster.
Correct anchors and solid fixing keep everything secure and level.

Repairing Doors, Handles, Hinges & Locks
Loose handles and hinges don't fix themselves. Left alone, they tear out of doors, damage timber, and can stop doors closing or locking properly.
Early adjustment or re-fixing often avoids drilling, filling and replacing parts later.
Shelving, Mirrors & Wall Fixings
Incorrect wall fixings can fail without warning, especially on plasterboard or dot-and-dab walls.
Using the right fixings for the wall type keeps shelves, mirrors and pictures secure.
Tall or heavy furniture can become unstable, particularly on uneven floors.
Wall-fixing units improves safety, especially in homes with children.
Garden & Outdoors
From wobbly fences to overgrown gutters and decking repairs, we help keep your outdoor spaces safe, functional, and looking their best all year round.
Pressure Washing
Slippery patios, dirty driveways and green decking aren't just unsightly - they can be hazardous.
Pressure washing quickly freshens outdoor areas and improves safety.
Patching Minor Exterior Wall Cracks or Holes
Small cracks might look cosmetic, but once water gets in, frost expands them - damaging brickwork or render.
A simple fill-and-seal prevents water ingress and further deterioration.
Touching Up Exposed Exterior Woodwork
Flaking paint exposes timber to rain, leading to swelling, rot and long-term damage. A small sand-and-paint job now is far cheaper than replacement later.
If rot has already started, specialist timber repairs can often restore the damaged area without full replacement.
Securing Wobbly Fences or Gates
A slightly wobbly fence won't stay that way for long. Wind and movement weaken posts until panels collapse.
A simple brace or re-fix can often save replacing entire sections.
Clearing Gutters & Downpipes
Leaves and moss quickly build up, especially in autumn and winter. Blocked gutters overflow and cause damp patches or internal leaks.
A quick clear-out prevents weeks of moisture-related problems.
Decking & Patio Fixings
Loose deck boards and shifting slabs are both a trip hazard and a sign of fixings working loose.
Securing them early improves safety and prevents further movement.
Garden Fixtures & Accessories
Loose trellis, post caps or outdoor fittings quickly deteriorate once movement starts.
Re-fixing prevents damage and keeps outdoor areas tidy and safe.
Grab Rails & Safety Aids
Poorly fitted grab rails can be dangerous and unreliable.
Correct installation provides proper support and peace of mind.
House Numbers & Mailboxes
Loose or missing numbers make properties harder to find for visitors and emergency services.
Secure fitting keeps everything visible and properly fixed.
Security & Safety
Your home should be safe and secure. We handle alarm checks, security system installations, and other safety fixes so you can have peace of mind.
Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarm Testing and Maintenance
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms that aren't tested regularly may fail when they're needed most.
Routine checks and battery replacement ensure reliable protection.
Installing Ring & Blink Security Systems
Poor positioning or weak fixings often mean cameras miss key areas - or stop working altogether.
Correct placement and secure fixing ensure your system provides real protection.
Fitting & Testing Smoke Alarms
Smoke alarms are only effective if positioned correctly and working properly. Old units or failing batteries reduce early warning.
Proper installation gives reliable protection and peace of mind.
Fitting & Testing Carbon Monoxide Alarms
Carbon monoxide is colourless, odourless and extremely dangerous. Missing or poorly placed alarms put households at risk.
Correctly fitted alarms provide an essential early warning.
Property Maintenance
Preparing a home for sale, fixing small flooring issues, or replacing basic locks - these jobs may seem minor, but they make a big difference. We keep your property in top shape, inside and out.
Property Preparation for Sale or Rental
Small unresolved issues can delay viewings, snag surveys or put buyers and tenants off.
