J Cook Services

Hi, My name is Jim and I formed J Cook Services on the 1st of November 2010, after taking early retirement from my previous employer, it is a handyman service specialising in all aspects of property maintenance, particularly smaller jobs that the larger guys often find difficult to quote for. I have worked in building and engineering related services all of my life.

My interests are: Scouting (I am an assistant explorer scout leader), canoeing and kayaking with Upper Hamble Canoe Club, I climb, run and enjoy numerous other outdoor pursuits.

Work, I offer, amongst other things: plumbing repairs and small projects (outside taps, basins, loos, washing machine plumbing, unblocking drains etc), small carpentry jobs (door hanging, skirting, architrave, repairs etc), gardening (lawn cutting, hedge cutting, pruning) metal work repairs (gates repaired, ornamental metalwork repairs, welding etc), painting (exterior and interior including preparation and small crack and plaster repairs), I also offer a 'Let me help you' service, if you have a project of your own that you are keen to complete yourself but it is too big for one person or the equipment is too heavy or indeed you lack skills and just want advice or 'a hand' I am happy to help for a small fee that would be less than if you have to employ me for the whole project and you get the satisfaction of 'doing it yourself'

I look forward to hearing from you

Jim

Fitted a new lock to a wooden front door.
Excellent service! Jim was punctual, professional, friendly, courteous and even tidies up after the work has been completed! The work was done at short notice and at a fair price. Highly recommended.

Re-sealing around a bath and removing old paint and repainting the bathroom window.
As usual, Jim's work was great. He is polite and friendly and tidies up really well after himself. He also gave me some good advice about some work that needs doing in another part of the house. I strongly recommend him (although he is so popular, you may struggle to get an appointment at short notice).

Replacing door handles, refitting doors, installing a bell, improving outside drainage.
Jim took time and trouble to ensure that he knew exactly what I wanted from the work, carried this out efficiently and to a good standard, kept disruption to a minimum and did a splendid job of clearing up as he worked. As he worked, it became apparent that further work was needed: he added this to the schedule with no fuss and charged only the hourly rate he had quoted initially. Jim is a very pleasant man who I felt quite comfortable to have in my home.
