Meet Sam Hembury
Your local, trusted handyman in Exeter. I'm here to take the stress out of your to-do list with honest pricing, quality workmanship, and a friendly face you can rely on.
Hi, I'm Sam
I started Hembury Contracting because I believe everyone deserves access to a reliable, honest tradesperson who actually turns up when they say they will. After years of hearing friends and family struggle to find someone trustworthy for small jobs, I decided to be that person.
Based right here in Exeter, I've spent over a decade honing my skills across carpentry, plumbing, general repairs, and property maintenance. Whether it's hanging a picture or assembling an entire IKEA kitchen, I've got you covered.
What makes me different? I'll always give you honest advice - even if that means telling you a job doesn't need doing. I charge fairly, clean up after myself, and treat your home like I'd treat my own.
