A round of handyman tasks done well. Roger just got cracking on with the tasks at hand. Being quite particular about things, he also made suggestions and recommendations which was very useful. Good and above all helpful guy. Will be sure to get in touch again for another round of jobs.

Pressure washing part of garden.

The work was carried out very quickly with absolutely no disruption at all. I am very pleased with the finish Mr Sowten was able to achieve as I had previously tried to clean the paving and was unable to make it look any different! Excellent work!

Painting, replacing and repairing skirting board, change door handles and assemble cupboard.

I'd have no hesitation in recommending Roger. He's come round to my flat twice now to do various odd jobs and decoration. He always turns up when he says, gets everything done quickly and efficiently and tidies up after. He's easy to talk to and fully of handy hints for the best and cheapest way to get things done.
