Pet services in Exeter

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

Common Questions About Pet

What does a chicken coop clean include?

Full mucking out - all old bedding and droppings removed, perches scraped clean, nest boxes emptied, walls and floor swept/scrubbed, disinfectant applied, and fresh bedding laid down. Basically your birds get a hotel-standard clean house.

How many bat boxes should I have?

Bats like options - having 2-3 boxes in different locations gives them choices depending on weather and roosting needs. Happy to fit multiple boxes in one visit if you're keen to really support the local bat population.

What about outdoor aviaries?

No problem - I clean outdoor aviaries too. Weather permitting, I'll pressure wash the larger outdoor structures and treat for algae or mould. Takes a bit longer to dry but gives brilliant results.

What's a bug hotel for?

It provides nesting and hibernation sites for beneficial insects - solitary bees, ladybirds, lacewings, beetles, and more. These insects pollinate flowers, control pests like aphids, and support garden biodiversity. Basically you're giving them a home in exchange for free garden help.

Can you work on high-floor balconies?

Yes - I work safely at height with appropriate equipment. Most balconies in Exeter are 2-3 storeys, which is fine. Higher floors might need extra safety measures, but I'll assess and advise. Safety first, always.

How much bigger should I go?

Rule of thumb is 1 square metre per bird minimum for the run. If they're in there most of the time (not free-ranging), more is better. Cramped birds are stressed birds, and stressed birds don't lay. I can advise based on how many you've got.
