Right tools,
right the first time

Most of these jobs are not complicated. They just need someone who owns the kit, has done it before and can give up a weekday to it. That is the whole service: local, small, and straight about what a job takes.

  • Priced before it starts. A fixed number for the job, or an hourly rate for a list. No surprises at the end.
  • One person, start to finish. Whoever quotes the job is the one who turns up to do it.
  • In and out. Dust sheets down, tools away, site cleared before he leaves.
  • Told straight. If a repair will do, you get told. If it needs a registered trade, you get told that too.

Bristol and
the South West

Based in Bristol and working across the city and out into North Somerset. The areas below are simply where most of the work is, not a line on a map.

Not on the list? Work regularly goes further out, including Bath, Keynsham, Backwell, Yatton, Pill, Wraxall and the surrounding villages. Distance is rarely the deciding factor, the size of the job usually is. Ask and you will get a straight answer, and any travel cost is shown in the quote rather than added later.

Questions
worth asking

If what you want to know is not here, ring or send a message and you will get a straight answer.

What areas of Bristol do you cover?

Bristol and the South West suburbs, including Bedminster, Southville, Ashton, Long Ashton, Nailsea, Portishead and Clevedon. Work regularly goes further out than that list, so if your area is not named it is still worth asking.

Do you travel outside those areas?

Yes, regularly. The named areas are where most work happens, not a boundary. Bath, Keynsham, Yatton, Backwell, Weston super Mare and the villages in between are all doable. Any travel cost is shown in the quote rather than added afterwards.

Do you charge for a quote?

No. Quotes are free and come with no obligation. You will be told the price before any work starts, not after.

Do you take on small jobs?

Yes. Small jobs and odd job lists are a core part of the work. It is usually cheapest to group several small jobs into one visit.

How quickly can you start?

It depends on what is already booked in. Get in touch with a rough idea of the job and you will be given a realistic date rather than an optimistic one.

Do you do electrical or gas work?

No. Anything needing a registered electrician or a Gas Safe engineer is outside the scope. You will be told plainly rather than it being attempted.
