Best Builders & Handyman Services in Taddington, Derbyshire (2025)

Rating: 5 / 5

I've used Level Best since 2017 when during a thunderstorm one Sunday evening I discovered rainwater pouring in from above my kitchen window and door. That left me blindly trying to find a tradesman to assess the issue and fix it. Fortunately, Level Best were on hand to offer sound advice, practical solutions and reasonable prices. I've since had many jobs carried out by Level Best from roofing works, re-pointing, floor joist repairs, lintels replaced and most recently a bathroom remodel, all of which have been done to the same high standards of craftsmanship, and with a professionalism that is second to none. So much so that I am already planning my next project with Level Best. If you are looking for a reliable, knowledgeable and professional company to assist with any and all aspects of building work, who will turn up when they say they will, not try to get you to have more work done than is necessary, whilst charging a fair and reasonable rate, then you won't go wrong with Level Best. I honestly can not recommend them enough. Superb job done every time.

Had a new kitchen fitted and plastering done to walls. Service from Level Best was first class from beginning to end. Every aspect of work carried out to perfection, plumber and electrician visits co-ordinated effectively, achieving smooth running and the place was tidied up as much as possible each day. Also, Dan's expertise on what accessories to buy was invaluable. Price was very fair.

Simon is absolutely fantastic and cant recommended him enough. He has done a few jobs for us now and they have all been completed to a very high standard and we simply wont be using anyone else for our jobs in the future. He is courteous honest and trustworthy and also very competitive with his pricing... and he even hoovers up lol. More work planned for the future, thanks Simon

We couldn't be happier with Simon's work on our living room. He has a broad range of expertise and his advice was extremely helpful before, during and after the job. Simon obviously takes a lot of pride in his work and genuinely cares about what he does. We would absolutely recommend Simon and will definitely be using his services in the future!

Simon did a great job putting up a curtain pole for a heavy thermal door curtain. He is professional and friendly and made sure that I was happy with the job. He also did a short repair of a light fitting, which was very good of him, as I had not arranged this in advance. I'll definitely be asking Simon when it's time to start on that ever-increasing list of jobs that need attention.

I’m very pleased with the work Simon has done in my home, and I highly recommend his services. He initially did a tricky job in my bathroom that involved both joinery and plumbing. He quickly identified the causes of the issue, clearly explained the repairs needed, and followed this up with a written estimate. During the work, he kept me well informed and did a thorough job to a high standard. Needless to say, I had no hesitation in booking him for other jobs - he came up with a straightforward solution to sort out a damp issue and did a top job of fitting skirting boards. Whilst doing the work, he pointed out an issue that needed a gas fitter and helped with a contact. He is friendly, trustworthy and works very efficiently. Thank you very much Simon, I’ll be in touch with more jobs from my list!

Ben has done a wonderful job on refreshing our walk in shower cubicle, removing and replacing all the old grout,re-grouting and resealing. He was recommended to us by a friend and we have not been disappointed. Very professional, cleared away all evidence of a very messy job we are very satisfied, our bathroom looks as new again.

Rating: 5 / 5

Ben recently completed several jobs around the house for me (ranging from installing a new dishwasher to repairing an old wooden window frame, grouting the hearth tiles to repairing a kitchen cabinet door). I found Ben to be professional and friendly, organised and neat and tidy in his approach to the work. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ben (as indeed, I already have) and look forward to welcoming him back again in the future as my new ‘go to’ handy person. A well deserved 5 star rating !

Rating: 5 / 5

Ben did a brilliant job for us repairing our leaking gutters which had been poorly installed. He was also incredibly helpful offering advice for other issues we had with the house. I wouldn't hesitate in using Benvale again or recommending to friends and family.

Benvale Home Maintenance - 5 Star Service - Again. Ben did another job for us, this time floor strengthening in the attic. Delighted with the job. Clean, strong and effective. Couldn’t be happier! Shouldn’t be sharing really as Ben is too good a find to publicise! Brilliant Job. Thank you.

Gav has done so much work on our house over the years - from bespoke carpentry (like benches and wardrobes) and plastering, to laying a patio and fitting a bathroom - and not only is he very skilled, but he's also a super nice guy and very fairly priced. He'll tell you what he's going to do, he arrives on time and then does the work. You literally couldn't ask for anything else.

Rating: 5 / 5

Gav has done loads of work I'm my home since I bought it. From plastering to bespoke shelves and cupboards, skirting boards to hanging door, he does it all including some teaching along the way. I couldn't recommend him enough!

Rating: 5 / 5

The question you should really be asking yourself is why would you not get Gav in? Offers up clear and fair estimates and a real attention to detail in what he delivers; little things like a proper clean up of the area or looking to maximise the use of the materials purchased, just go a long way to cermet a top-notch service. He's also just a really nice guy. I've engaged him a few times now and is absolutely my go-to to get projects done I can't/won't do myself.

Rating: 5 / 5

I would highly recommend his services. He doesn't charge the earth and does what he says he will no fuss.

I asked James if he would do a few mixed maintenance jobs on our house. He responded promptly and he and his son Tom carried out the work in a tidy and professional manner. Many thanks.

Rating: 5 / 5

Excellent, professional service. Will definitely be using James again.

Johan was very prompt in responding to my request and skilled in many areas. I requested him to decorate my downstairs loo. He made me a bespoke boxing in of pipework which was removable incase of any future plumbing problems, with tiling and decor. I was pleased with all his work and although I thought his day rate was high once I considered the skill and time involved I realised this was a fair price for the work undertaken. He did also give me a time frame in which it would be completed minimum to maximum which is unusual for workmen. This took him 2 days and am pleased with the result.

Rating: 5 / 5

I contacted Johan regarding boxing in my old fireplace and making a bespoke stud wall to cover under the stairs and create a media section. He was extremely professional, kept me upto date on times and days and discussed design ideas taking onboard my needs. The finished products exceeded all my expectations, the craftsmanship was simply superb and the cost was extremely reasonable, given the attention to detail, and skills involved. If you want a professional job then I would highly recommend Johan. I'm definitely retaining his number for future works.

Johan recently completed some work for us to locate the source of a water leak in our downstairs WC and repairing water damage to our internal walls and timber work. We are very pleased with the job that Johan has done for us and he was really good at explaining things to us as he was doing the work. We would highly recommend Johan for anyone looking to use his services.

Rating: 5 / 5

I chose Johan because of his great reviews - and they are all well deserved. I needed a new front door fitting into the existing frame with new fixtures and fittings. He did a brilliant job, despite the frame not being exactly square. He was prompt, reliable, skilled and knowledgable, and he kept me informed of everything he was doing. Highly recommended.

Brilliant handyman found on Google. Didn't have the confidence to take down and install new shower screen. Spoke to Albert received a quote which was extremely competitive. Gave me a time and was here within that time. Did a fabulous job. Would highly recommend. Also has a cool looking van!! Cheers Albert. Jess

Albert has been absolutely fantastic in the service he has provided. We have had all external windows, doors and patio doors mastic’d. Two broken extractor fans replaced, a set of patio doors readjusted and a new lock, fitted new blinds and a new shower screen. Albert is a perfectionist and his work is always completed to a very high standard. What a lovely man! Thank you Albert, we have found the perfect handyman for any future work 😊

Excellent service. Outdoor plug socket sorted, took under an hour. Socket seems really high quality, and he was very informative about the product. Will be looking at other jobs, would recommend to anyone

We had a number of small plumbing jobs after the New Year and contacted John. It was the first time we had used his services and found him very helpful, with a professional, no-nonsense approach to the jobs. Costs were very reasonable and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services to anyone who requires them.

Rating: 5 / 5

Excellent work. Everyone turned up on time, never missed a day and did an exceptional job! They were all very friendly as well. It's hard to find hard working labourers these days who want to do any work, so they were a breath of fresh air. Will be using again 🙂

We wanted an extension to the existing fence in a slatted contemporary style. After the initial visit to property to measure, Stuart arrived on the agreed date and two days later, gave us exactly what we wanted. Highly recommended and a job well done. Thanks lads.
