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, Bridport and Wool as our main catchment area. We are able to visit other locations, please get in touch if you are outside these areas.
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.
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. 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.
You can book with us by getting in touch through our website contact page, sending us a WhatsApp message or email with details fo the project, or simply give us a call. We ask for you to send us photos or video of the project when you get in touch so that we can tailor your quote and ensure everything is covered.
We have lots of photos of previous work on our projects page, or for more up to date examples you can visit our Facebook page - we regularly share completed work here.
