Try it yourself first
Short how-to guides from the van, with the tools you need and how long it really takes.
How to fix a door that sticks
Before you reach for a plane, check the hinges. Most sticking doors have simply dropped, and tightening one screw puts them right.
How to fix a dripping tap
Most drips are a worn washer or a tired cartridge. Here is how to tell which you have, and how to swap it in about half an hour.
How to hang a heavy mirror without it coming down
A big mirror can weigh 25 kilos. The fixing has to suit the wall behind it, and the only way to know is to find out what that wall is made of.
Booking, pricing and the day itself
Booking
- How soon can you come?
- Half-day visits are usually bookable two days ahead and full days four days ahead. The job basket shows the earliest one before you send anything.
- Can I book just one small job?
- Yes. A single job is charged at the hourly rate with a one-hour minimum, so a dripping tap on its own is £56.
Pricing
- How is the price worked out?
- Each job has a set time. We add them up and charge whichever is cheapest: £56 an hour in half-hour steps, £190 for a half day or £340 for a full day.
- What if it takes longer than the estimate?
- The price you agreed is the price you pay for those jobs. If we open something up and find a bigger problem, we stop and ask before doing any more.
On the day
- When will you arrive?
- Morning visits arrive 08:00–10:00, afternoon visits 13:00–15:00 and full days 08:00–08:30. We text when we set off.
- Who turns up?
- One of our six employed handypeople, named in the confirmation text, in a marked van with photo ID.
