Handy Jackson
Charges and Terms​
As an all-round handy man, I can provide a wide range of services. It's best to contact me to see how I can help you.
I won't take on things where I lack the skills or experience to complete the work (for example, I do not take on electrical, gas or plumbing tasks where certification is required).
My broad terms of business
-
An agreed hourly rate for short tasks with a minimum of two hours
-
Weekends and Bank Holidays attract an additional charge each day worked
-
All materials are recharged at cost plus 10% or £5 whichever is greater (to cover time and transport costs spent sourcing)
-
An additional hour is charged should waste materials need to be removed from site
-
If necessary, a parking permit will be provided, or parking costs re-imbursed
-
Access to water and electricity is assumed
-
Payment by bank transfer once work is completed (I never ask for any payment in advance) and within five days of invoicing
-
Invoices will detail work completed, materials used and associated costs
-
Quotations are issued on a firm price basis; estimates allow for 20% tolerance in costs
My commitment to the environment
-
Where practical, I will walk or cycle to the job
-
I habitually look for ways to be greener, for example by harvesting rain water and, where possible, refusing plastic packaging
-
Wherever possible and viable, I prefer to restore rather than replace but will be guided by you
-
At all times, I reuse or recycle waste.
