Emergency
When things go wrong, we're here to help. Fast response for urgent property repairs and emergencies.
13 services available across Exeter and surrounding areas.
We're a general handyman service that turns its hand to things. We're not specialist installers.
Most of what people call out a handyman for is time and a decent pair of hands. That is what you are booking: a handyman for the hours you choose, working through your list.
£60 an hour including VAT, two hour minimum. How booking works

Common Questions About Emergency
Will insurance cover this?
Usually yes - emergency securing is typically covered. Keep our invoice for your claim. We can provide photos of damage before and after.
How quickly can you get here?
Same day usually - often within hours. Unsecured properties are priority jobs. We understand the urgency.
What about the mess?
We clear up as part of the job. No one wants to deal with that themselves. We leave the area clean.
How do you secure a broken window?
Board up with plywood, secure clear sheeting if you need light, or tape and seal cracked glass temporarily. The approach depends on the window and situation.
How quickly can you come?
Same day for emergencies - blocked driveways and damaged properties are priorities. We understand you need access restored quickly.
Can't you just turn it off?
Isolation valves seize up, stopcocks get stuck, or people don't know where they are. We find them, free them if stuck, and stop the water.
