Highly recommend
We recently had our shower replaced. The shower was a bit too low. The shower was replaced with no problems at all. It required extra work with no extra cost. There was a possibility of having tiles removed. A mermaid board was suggested. I'm so pleased we went with this suggestion. It looks fantastic. I would definitely recommend Jay's business. Work always carried out to a high standard and always leaves the area clean. We've also had other work carried out that we're really happy with. We will be booking future work through this company in the future.Verified reviewerJob location: PO3010 Carpenter

Excellent handyman
As always, Jay exceeds expectations. This time with a tricky paint job of a window and surrounds about 20 feet up. All done with a smile, great craft and excellent value.Verified reviewerJob location: PO37RPhilip P10 Handyman

Reliable and trustworthy
Second time I have used Jay for relatively small jobs - this time to renew our gate and gate posts and put up some items in the garden. Very friendly, reliable and trustworthy. Did a really good job. Gave a clear quote prior to the work and this is what I paid. Highly recommended.Verified reviewerJob location: PO3010 Handyman

" South East Prestige award winner Handyman of the year 2025 "
After completing a marine engineering apprenticeship, serving for 10 years in the Royal Navy and then 22 years within the oil and gas industry, I decided that it was time to spend more time at home with my growing family.
I have travelled the world extensively and for the last 15 or so years, I have been teaching mechanical engineering maintenance to technicians and engineers at oil & gas facilities globally.
I am accredited member of the Institution of mechanical engineers and registered with the Engineering council. I also have full public liability insurance.
In July 2020 I set up as a sole trader local handyman service named Ask Jay, with the main objective of providing a friendly, reliable, professional, and trustworthy service to people across the Isle of Wight.
My constant aim is to offer a quality service that is value for money with a personal touch.
I have built up a loyal client base with many multiple returning customers, whilst continuing to grow the business and I look forward to hearing from you.
Ask Jay! Your friendly handyman serving the Isle of Wight.
