John was prompt, very helpful and efficient. nothing was too much rouble for him and it was an excellent job well done.

garden watering system

Having employed John for electrical work around 9 years ago, he responded quickly to our new request. Turned up promptly and did the work efficiently. All looks good. Rates reasonable too.

Fitting new LED lighting in kitchen and shed

As always John was fantastic. Quality of work is outstanding and great value for money.

Multiple pieces of furniture to be assembled, and a key holder to be hung, all completed in one visit.

Assembling Flat Pack Furniture 

John came to disassemble to large kids sleeper beds. Completed in great time, labelled all to ensure that the person receiving them was able to put them back together.

John is our go to person for all of our handyman or electrical needs, wouldnt even consider anyone one else.!

 Disassemble to large kids sleeper beds. 

John did a great job of assessing the problem and installing a completely new extractor fan where there previously was none.  John is very easy to work with and I have several other jobs lined up for him going forward.

Fitting a new extractor fan in the bathroom

We had John come over to change the swing direction of our living room door and also to prep and paint out living room walls, ceiling and skirting boards.  John did a great job, and was really good with advice too on what paints work better for specific jobs.  He was really punctual, very tidy and would definitely book him in again.

Sorted out our living room!
