  • Fitting curtain poles

    Michael is a lovely man. Worked efficiently and tidily always confirming if I was happy where he was placing the curtain poles. I have been looking for a handy man to help with certain jobs and I’ll definitely be asking Michael to come and do/help. Will be recommending him to family/friends

    Michael is a courteous, reliable and skilled professional who completed all tasks to a high standard. He supplied and fitted uPVC fascia to garage; installed new taps in the downstairs toilet; removed old curtain rail and put up new curtain poles; re-fitted outside wall light. I would use him again and thoroughly recommend him to others.

  • Installation of shower glass panel

    10Verified Review

    Michael was very courteous and arrived promptly to install my shower guard. The work was completed swiftly and the quality of workmanship is excellent. The fee was very fair for the amount of work involved. I would recommend Michael to anyone who needs to get a DIY job done without any fuss and in a professional manner.

Company info

The original company was founded in 1987 as Swift Roofing Co, then about 10 years later we started building extensions/loft conversions and general building works and became Swift Roofing and Building Co. 

We have now diversified into all aspects of handyman services which includes all jobs in and around your home and garden and have now become HANDYMAN ABOUT THE HOUSE. 

We can do:

  • small alterations / kitchen lounge knock throughs.
  • All odd jobs, put up curtain rails and shelves, assemble flat pack furniture.
  • picture / mirror hanging.
  • no job too small.
  • Mowing the lawn/tidying up the garden/fencing repairs/power washing patio/ decking.
  • Just ask, if we can't help you then we know someone who can.

All work is guaranteed and carried out by me if other tradesmen are needed then they are all professional people who I have used and trusted for many years.

I believe in delivering a high standard of workmanship, courteous manners and punctuality as if I am carrying out work in my own family home.
