Frequently Asked Questions
We can undertake anything from small handyman jobs right through to larger refurbishment and renovation projects - take a look at our services page for a comprehensive list of the type of work we regularly take on.
We cover Weymouth, Portland, Dorchester, Poundbury, Puddletown, Bridport and Wool as our main catchment area
This is postcodes DT1, DT2 (part), DT3, DT4, DT5, DT6 (part).
We are able to visit other locations, please get in touch if you are outside these areas.
Generally speaking, upon approval of your quotation, and once we have received your non-refundable deposit, we can be available to start within 2-4 weeks. However this does change depending on the size of your job, for example on very small jobs we can sometimes complete them within a week of your initial inquiry.
All of our work is covered by a contract, which you sign before we begin any work. This includes our fixed-price quote so there's no hidden charges. Our contract includes a standard set of terms and conditions, which you can read here: Terms & Conditions
We can carry out all minor non-notifiable work and like-for-like replacements, however UIL are not qualified electricians and therefore we do not carry out "Part P" electrical work (which includes new electrical circuits, new installations e.g. new set of spot lights, and alterations to circuits in special areas such as kitchens and bathrooms).
This is a complex question to answer, as each project is so individual.
As a guide, most of our smaller jobs such as hanging a picture, putting up shelves, or installing a curtain pole start at £84 (price valid as of 07.01.2025). This is where our handyman service comes into it's own, as the more little jobs you need doing, the better the rate becomes.
Our quotes are comprehensive and include materials, labour - even removal of waste is included in your fixed price. Once we have sent your quote there are no hidden costs, so you know that you won't get added charges later.
