Margate · Thanet

That list on the fridge?
Let's get it done.

The shelf that never went up. The door that sticks. The gutter you've been meaning to sort since February. Book a half day and we'll work through as much of it as we can fit.

Fully insured · DBS checked · Same person every visit

£140 half day

4 hours

Best for two or three small jobs in one go.

  • Flat-pack wardrobe or set of drawers built
  • Three or four shelves or pictures hung properly
  • A sticking door eased and rehung
  • TV mounted and cables tidied away
  • Silicone stripped and resealed round a bath

Materials at cost, receipts given. No minimum charge if we finish early.

£240 full day

8 hours

Works out cheaper per job. Best for a proper clear-the-list day.

  • Everything in the half day, and then some
  • Fence panels replaced and posts concreted
  • Gutters cleared and brackets refixed
  • A room's worth of skirting or architrave
  • Kitchen doors realigned and handles replaced
  • Flat-pack kitchen units built ready for fitting

Most people book a full day for the first visit and half days after that.

The usual suspects

If it's on your list, it's probably on ours.

Not sure whether something counts? Send a photo and you'll get a straight yes or no, plus a rough time.

Flat-pack

Wardrobes, beds, desks, that Swedish chest of drawers still in the box.

Shelves & mounting

Into plasterboard, brick or dot-and-dab, with the right fixings for the wall.

Doors & locks

Sticking, dropped, draughty. Rehung, planed, new handles and locks fitted.

Guttering

Cleared, refixed, joints sealed. Ladder work so you don't have to.

Fencing

Panels, posts, gates. Storm damage sorted before the next lot comes in.

Sealing & grouting

Baths, showers, worktops. Old silicone off properly, not just covered over.

Small plumbing

Taps, washers, loo seats, dripping wastes. Anything gas goes to a Gas Safe engineer.

Making good

Filling, sanding, touching up after other trades have left holes behind.

Straight with you

Five things we always do.

  • 01Turn up when we said. If we're running late you get a text, not silence.
  • 02Tell you if it's not worth it. Some jobs are cheaper to replace than repair, and we'll say so even though it costs us the work.
  • 03Send you to a specialist when needed. Anything gas, or a full rewire, goes to someone properly ticketed. We'll give you a name.
  • 04Clear up. Dust sheets down, mess taken away, hoover round before we go.
  • 05Charge what we quoted. If it takes longer than we thought, that's our problem, not your bill.

Reviews

Mostly repeat customers.

★★★★★

Booked a full day and he got through eleven things off a list I'd been carrying around for two years. Kept me posted on what he was up to and cleared up after every single job.

Helen R. — Cliftonville

★★★★★

Told me my back gate wasn't worth repairing and gave me a price to replace it instead, which was less than I'd been quoted to fix it. Honest, which is why he's had three more days off me since.

Tony B. — Ramsgate

★★★★★

I'm on my own and I don't love having people in the house, but he's the same bloke every time, always on time, always polite. Genuinely a weight off.

Margaret D. — Birchington

Questions

The things people ask first.

Can I book less than half a day?

For a single quick job, yes — there's a £60 minimum for anything up to an hour. But if you've got more than one thing, the half day almost always works out better value.

Do you supply materials?

We can, at cost with the receipt, or you can buy them yourself if you'd rather pick exactly what you want. Just let us know which before the day so nothing holds us up.

What won't you touch?

Gas work, notifiable electrical work, structural changes and anything at height that needs proper scaffolding. We'll happily point you at someone who can.

Are you insured?

£2m public liability, and the certificate's yours to see any time you ask. We're also DBS checked, which matters to a lot of our older customers.

How far ahead do I need to book?

Usually about a week for a full day, less for half days. If something's urgent, ring rather than emailing — we often have a gap.
