About

In Sam’s words

Half handyman, half gardener, which is handy when the fence and the hedge both need doing. I live on Hillcrest and work the streets around it, usually on foot with a barrow.

    Fixed a dripping overflow, a squeaky floorboard and a kitchen drawer that kept falling out. Brilliant communication from Sam from the first message to the last.

    Put up six floating shelves in the living room, perfectly level and solid on a tricky plasterboard wall. Sam arrived with everything needed, so it was all done in one visit.

    Weeded every border and pruned the roses properly for the first time in years. Took a bit longer than quoted, though Sam did not charge for the extra time.

    Fitted blinds in every room of the flat and took the old brackets away. So easy to arrange. Sam replied within minutes and came the next day.

    Fixed two doors that had been sticking for a year and rehung the bathroom door so it actually closes. Sam turned up on the minute and kept me posted the whole way.

    A one-off tidy before we put the house on the market. The photos look great. The work itself was fine, but Sam rescheduled twice and that made planning hard.

    Repaired the garden gate and put new hinges on the shed door. Good work overall. Sam had to come back for one small thing, which was done quickly.

    Worked through my whole list in one afternoon: curtain poles, a loose banister and a new letterbox. Lovely to deal with. Sam took real pride in the work.
