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

Tap Replacement

Jim took time out of his evening to come and change a tap. He arrived when he said he would, was quick and tidy and the price was very reasonable. We've used Jim before and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a handyman

Laying new laminate floor in hallway/laying loft insulation/removal of old water tank

Already use Jim for garden maintenance, but this is the first time he's done any work inside the house. Nice neat job on the floor - looks really good, in spite of being a tricky small space to work in. Arrives on time, everything left clean and tidy, reasonable rates. A good, reliable all-rounder. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him (and, in fact, do, whenever possible!)

Looked at guttering - painted kitchen ceiling and coving.

Excellent job. The guttering is a bigger job than first thought, but I appreciate that he knew his limitations.

Replaced Down pipe

Arrived on time, was very courteous and the work was finished to an excellent standard. Really very pleased with Jim's work especially as it was about minus two at the time he was up a ladder. I would happily recommend him to anyone and will certainly be using him in the future for work of this type
