Get a free estimateWhat it is
A handyman service that covers the long list of small jobs around the home — the ones too small for a specialist trade, but too important to keep ignoring. From rehanging a sticking door and replacing tired silicone, to repairing a wobbly banister, fitting curtain poles, sealing a draughty window or patching damaged plaster.
Who it's for
Homeowners, renters whose landlords aren't responding, busy professionals, families, and older customers who want one trusted person on the doorstep rather than a rotating cast of contractors. Also landlords and letting agents in South Wales who need a dependable point of contact between tenancies.
When you need it
Book a handyman before small problems compound — that hairline crack becomes a damp patch, the dripping tap becomes a damaged cupboard floor, the loose hinge becomes a torn frame. Most customers book us by the half-day or full-day so we can clear several jobs in one visit.
Why professional help matters
DIY videos look easy until the third trip to the tool shop. A trained handyman brings the right tools, the right fixings for the wall type, and the experience to spot the underlying cause — not just the symptom. The result: jobs that stay fixed and a home that's safer to live in.
Small problems don't staysmall for long.
Most of the expensive repairs we see started as cheap ones that got ignored. Here's what we typically see — and what to look out for.
-
Small issues become expensive
A leaky tap left for six months can rot a base unit. A loose roof tile becomes a damp ceiling. Catching it early is almost always cheaper than fixing the consequence.
-
Wrong fixings, wrong wall
Drywall, brick, breeze block and lath-and-plaster all need different anchors. Wrong fixings pull out under load — shelves fall, TVs come down, mirrors crack.
-
Half-finished DIY
We're often called to put right a project that stalled mid-job. Honest assessment, no judgement, and a clear price to get it finished properly.

What's actuallyinvolved.
Our general handyman work spans the everyday repairs that keep a home looking, feeling and functioning the way it should. Below is a closer look at the typical work involved so you know exactly what to expect.
Doors, hinges & locks
Easing sticking doors, planing where they catch, replacing tired hinges, fitting new handles, latches and Yale locks, and rehanging warped frames. We work with internal, external, fire-rated and uPVC doors.
Plaster repair & filling
Filling old fixing holes, patching cracks, sanding back and feathering edges ready for paint. We use the right grade of filler for the depth of the repair so it never reappears as a shadow line.
Silicone, sealants & grout
Stripping back blackened bathroom silicone, sterilising the surface, and reapplying a tidy, mould-resistant bead. Kitchen worktops resealed, tile grout refreshed.
Shelving, mirrors & artwork
Levelled, anchored to the correct fixing for the wall, and load-rated. Big mirrors fitted with safety hangers, gallery walls measured and set out before drilling.
Small carpentry
Skirting and architrave repairs, replacement floorboards, loft hatches, stair spindles, simple bespoke boxing-in around pipework.
Outdoor odd jobs
Replacing fence panels, fitting numbers and letterboxes, securing gates, sealing weeping garage rooflines, and a hundred other small but useful jobs.
Residential vs commercial
We carry out the same scope of work for small commercial premises in South Wales — cafés, salons, offices and rental properties — usually scheduled outside opening hours so trading isn't disrupted.
Honest pricing,written down.
Prices are guidance only and may vary by job. Final quotes are confirmed after a chat, photos, or a site visit.
