If you want to refresh the look of your home with new or vintage handles I can help. Replacing door hardware like handles, strike plates and locks can transform the look of your home and make entering a space feel special.
By looking at your existing door I can help identify the right latches, hinges and handles to update your door with minimal mess or fuss.
I can help install store-bought shelving, design and build custom alcove shelving solutions, or help install heavyweight fittings like custom mantels.
You may want to change your old handle for cosmetic reasons, because it has become damaged, stiff or deformed over time. It can be intimidating to remove the hardware around your exterior door lock but I’m happy to help. Handles need to be matched carefully for size, but the swap is usually quick and straightforward.
TVs are expensive, so don’t cut corners with how they’re mounted to your wall! I’m experienced in hanging TVs on solid walls and timber stud construction and can offer a variety of solutions depending on your placement needs.
I can quote for jobs including hardware or work with what you provide – though it’s essential you find a mount which is rated to carry the weight of your TV.
Sanding and oiling a worktop can be a considerable amount of work! It also means the kitchen can be out-of-action for a period while the oil cures and penetrates into the surface of the worktop. The process involves sanding or stripping any existing finish back to bare wood, refining the surface with finer grit sandpaper and applying a finish of your choice to the now unfinished worktop.
Although it might be more time consuming, it can sometimes be worth doing the work in stages so that some worktop area is always functional. Get in touch to discuss your needs and we can work on a timeline that suits you.
Don’t be a hero! If you’re uncomfortable at heights you’re not alone. No home improvement is ever worth a trip to the hospital.
I’m insured to work at height, and I’m comfortable working up to the ceilings of almost any domestic property – so let me change your curtains or paint your ceiling while you get on with the work that needs done at ground level.
Some jobs, like plastering a high ceiling in a large room, may benefit from a small internal scaffolding setup. Should this be the case, I can arrange for an external supplier to built a sturdy base for the work to be done.
If you don’t like fiddling with tiny allen keys, dropping dowels, or deciphering incoherent instructions then it may be time to consider a furniture assembling service.
I’ll quickly turn your cardboard boxes into your styling new chair or comfortable double bed, and when I leave I’ll take all that packaging with me, so you don’t need to arrange a trip to the skip or squash them down the back of your wheelie bin!
Each assembly starts with a careful stock check of the included components, so you can return anything with parts missing before work begins. If your product needs to go back to the supplier because something is missing we can reschedule with no additional charge.
It can be daunting to think about dealing with the water systems in your house – be it the toilets, taps or your central heating system. The prospect of a leak can be a serious one, particularly if you live in a block of flats.
Let me take on the responsibility of fixing your plumbing. I’m happy undertaking most small jobs.
I can help you with:

I can help you get a great finish whether you need to fix a small hole or completely resurface a wall. I work primarily with gypsum based products – the most common plaster used in UK houses built after the 1950s – and I’d be happy to inspect your project to make sure a suitable material is used.
