🔧 DIY Tips

🔧 Basic toolkit essentials

⚠️ When to call a pro

💡 Pro trick: Most "broken" things just need tightening, lubricating, or adjusting. Before replacing anything, check if it can be fixed with what you've got.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Regular maintenance? Some customers book quarterly visits to keep on top of things. Work through a checklist of seasonal jobs, fix anything that's cropped up, keep the house in good nick. Worth considering if you want to stay ahead of problems.
Landlords: I work with several letting agents and private landlords across Exeter. Quick turnaround on tenant requests, fair pricing, proper invoices. Happy to discuss ongoing arrangements.
New to Exeter? Moving somewhere new means learning who to call for what. Consider this your handyman sorted - one less thing to figure out. I know the local suppliers, understand the housing stock, and can recommend other trades when you need specialists.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can a handyman actually do?
Pretty much anything that doesn't need a specialist trade certificate. Repairs, installations, assembly, maintenance - if it's around your home and needs doing, I can probably help. The 2,400+ services on this site give you an idea of the range.
How is this different from calling a tradesperson?
Tradespeople specialise - plumbers do plumbing, electricians do electrics. A handyman does all the smaller jobs that don't need a specialist. Often more cost-effective too, since you're not paying specialist rates for straightforward work.
Do you do emergency callouts?
For urgent repairs, yes. Burst pipe isolation, securing a door after a break-in, that kind of thing. Standard rates apply but I'll try to get there as quick as possible if it's genuinely urgent.
Can you give quotes over the phone?
For straightforward jobs, usually yes. More complex work might need a quick look first - but I don't charge for quotes. Just give me a call or fill in the form and describe what needs doing.
What areas do you cover?
Exeter and surrounding areas - Exmouth, Topsham, Crediton, and most of Devon. Happy to travel a bit further for bigger jobs. Just ask.
