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.
