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
Bookable by the hour
- Repairs, adjustments and replacements on what is already there
- Fitting, hanging, mounting and assembling
- Small jobs batched into one visit
Take this to a specialist
- Work that needs a certificate or sign-off
- Structural work, and anything notifiable under building regulations
- Manufacturer-warranty installs that only an approved installer can carry out

Extended service area beyond our 30-mile radius. £1 per mile travel surcharge for jobs outside normal coverage area.
We Can Come Further
Normal service area: 30 miles from Exeter. Beyond that, we can still help - there's just a mileage surcharge to cover travel time and fuel.
How It Works
Example calculations:
- 35 miles from Exeter: 5 miles x 2 (each way) = £10 surcharge
- 45 miles from Exeter: 15 miles x 2 = £30 surcharge
- 55 miles from Exeter: 25 miles x 2 = £50 surcharge
Plus normal job costs
When It Makes Sense
✅ Full day's work - travel cost spreads across multiple jobs ✅ Big project - surcharge small compared to overall job value ✅ Multiple properties - coordinate with neighbors/family ✅ Specialist work - when local options limited
❌ Small quick jobs - travel makes it uneconomical

Good to Know

Coordination: If you can coordinate with neighbors or have multiple jobs, we can make one trip worthwhile for everyone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where's your normal service area?
30-mile radius from Exeter - covers Exmouth, Crediton, Tiverton, Dawlish, Newton Abbot, Sidmouth, Honiton, and most of Devon. Basically anywhere within half an hour's drive.
How does the mileage charge work?
£1 per mile beyond the 30-mile radius, each way. So if you're 40 miles from Exeter, that's 10 miles each way = £20 surcharge on top of the job cost. Calculated from Exeter city center.
Is it worth getting you out for a small job?
Probably not - if you're 50 miles away and need a shelf putting up, the travel surcharge makes it uneconomical. But for a day's work or a bigger project, the travel cost spreads out and makes more sense.
Can you do multiple jobs in one visit?
Absolutely - that's the smart way to make extended travel worthwhile. If you've got a list of jobs, we can work through them. Or coordinate with neighbors if several people need work doing.
Do you charge mileage for quotes?
For jobs within our normal area, no. Outside 30 miles, we can usually quote from photos/video call. If you need an in-person site visit, we'd discuss that based on the project size.
