Joel, Woodland Handyman Services, did a fantastic job repairing my storm damaged wooden fence last week. Joel gave a competitive quote for the work and completed the job in a few hours and left my property very clean. Would highly recommend Joel.

Joel did a fantastic job putting up three sets of Venetian blind's, a curtain pole and a wall mount for our TV. He arrived promptly and competed the work within a few hours. His work was professional, neat and tidy. We would definitely use him again and recommend him.

Joel has just completed our garden…... beautifully laid decking, regrouting the tiles so they now look brand new, laying sleepers and even making a wooden arch to fit perfectly across our path. The guy is a genius with a wonderful cheerful attitude, wouldn’t hesitate to use him again 😄

To me - Joel is definitely the best tradesman ever I have employed. Professional, reliable, punctual, curious and multi skilled. Joel is very hard working and flexible, always prepared to stay longer if needed. I have used Joel's services for the last 7 months and I'm very pleased with his work. Highly recommend! !

Ellis came to ours to put up a shed and put in some lights on our high ceilings. He came exactly when he said he would, worked quickly, keeping us updated with progress, and did a great job. His price was entirely fair. We would highly recommend his services. Thanks Ellis!

Great experience working with Ellis. He has a "can do" approach, he charges fairly and he won't leave you with an unfinished job to figure out yourself. Great timekeeping, he cleans up any mess before he leaves and he is good at what he does. Very easy to work with and you can be confident the job will get done with a good finish.

I've used Ellis and co for various odd jobs over the last couple of years. From advising on ventilation issues in my loft and looking at leaks on my conservatory , to hanging pictures , no job is too big or small. Jobs finished to a good quality and prices are competitive. Reliable service with a can do attitude. Would recommend:-)

We highly recommend Ellis. I’m the 1st to admit I have very high standards. Ellis has impressed me so much, that he is now definitely my go to on any other projects or problems I might need help with. We’ve had an issue where rain water kept flooding our kitchen. We’ve invested so much time, money and effort to no avail. But our luck changed once we approached Ellis. After some thorough investigation, he managed to find the problem areas. Due to the severity of the problem, he was quick to resolve the issues. He is a genius, as he has managed to achieve where 3 companies before him failed. He is also a clean and tidy worker and is very approachable.

We were thrilled with the work of George The Handyman. We have already had him return to do more jobs around our home. George helped us with a broad range of tasks, including fixing door handles, hanging mirrors, installing floating oak shelves, redoing bathroom silicone, attaching child-safe furniture straps, installing a water butt and wallpapering, as well as building us bespoke made-to-measure shelves in our lounge, plus much more! George was easy to communicate with, punctual, very organised and tidy. He worked through our list of jobs efficiently while discussing everything with us to ensure we were happy with the finished result. We also really appreciated his transparent pricing. George is an incredibly hard worker, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Can’t recommend George enough! He worked through a list of jobs on the first visit from blinds to my garden gate and then he built the most awesome media wall for me in less than 2 days finished and painted whilst fitting in other little jobs. He is unfazed by any jobs and is awesome at woodwork. Professional and friendly I highly recommend him!

Fabulous service! Rang George and within a couple of hours of the initial call, we had 4 wall-hanging bike racks installed. Really good quality craftsmanship too.

Ive been using George for years to do pretty much everything and anything to do with both our home and our Commercial property. Nothings ever to much trouble for George and all done with a smile in his face. The quality of his work is unquestionable and its a pleasure to recommend him. 😎

Trevor advertises as a handyman, but he is much more than that. He is a precision handyman. He always plans his work carefully, and then executes that plan with great accuracy. He has done 5 jobs for us now, the latest was the complete installation of a kitchen. The kitchen was from a mid-range supplier, Wren, but thanks to Trevor's attention to detail it looks like a kitchen that would have cost twice the price.

Trevor provides a fantastic service. He is very professional, but also friendly, which is important when you've go someone in your house. He came and put in 3 shelves in my airing cupboard, fitted around my water tank and he did a great job. Wasn't sure I would be able to get 3 shelves, but he managed it and they look awesome. I would recommend Trevor to anyone needing some handyman work done in their house. Will be using him again for more work for sure! Thanks Trevor

Moved house 7 weeks ago and had a long list of things to get done from shelves in the kitchen/utility, a shed to build, a garden office to finish and so on. Trevor is working his way through the list and everything is done to a high standard. He has such a broad range of skills, never over commits and is reliable. He is also a very decent guy. Recommend him highly for a wide range of jobs.

We contacted Trevor to help solve some issues after being let down by a builder. Trevor is friendly, arrived when he said he would and has helped to complete our new kitchen. He is very professional and pays attention to detail, a true craftsman. We do not hesitate to recommend Trevor 🙂

Upcycle Interiors Limited highly recommended Able & Mason. Jason has a keen eye for detail and is truly passionate about woodwork and joinery. He doesn't rush and can produce truly bespoke, well crafted, high quality pieces. Jason is friendly, can be trusted, and conducts himself in a professional manner.

Jason did a great job of removing and installing a new internal door for me. He was reliable, professional and trustworthy. I was away while Jason did the work for me so had to leave him with a key. Came back to find the work had been carried out to a high standard and he had left my home clean and tidy. He was polite and friendly. Will definitely use him again.

Bit late with the review, but like many others I was very impressed. Great work repairing our fence & garage. Really polite, helpful and explained everything in detail. He even popped back to return the cup from a brew I made him. Marvelous.

We found Dayan and the team on Google to help us out with technical domestic jobs for our mum at her home. Dayan and his team are extremely friendly, are always on hand to help and are really understanding with clear communication. Additionally, their rates are very competitive and to a high standard. We are grateful and lucky to have found such a 'handy' service and so local to our mum. Would highly recommend and 100% will be using in the future.

Found Dayan via Google, I usually like to go via personal recommendation but the Google reviews were great and I needed my TV mounting quite quickly. I was initially booked in a few days ahead, which was appreciated given my late request, but as Dayan had an appointment change he contacted me and was able to help me on the day! Dayan was very friendly and reassuring and got the job done neatly and quickly. I would definitely use him again. Thank you!
