    Great service and communication

    Austins communication was great. He came round to have a look at broken bath panel promptly and suggested a waterproof wooden replacement. I was in no rush but he fitted me into his schedule and I now have a much smarter bathroom. Looks great. Very friendly and professional. Cleaned up after, would highly recommend

    LED bathroom mirror

    I had a great experience using Austin’s handyman service, the communication was perfect letting me know what needed to be done, got the job done and even took the over mirror away. I feel as though they both went above and beyond. I appreciate what you did.

    Helpful handyman

    Austin and his son Morgan came out very swiftly on a Saturday to fix a curtain rail that had collapsed in my parents home. They were polite, efficient and reassuring for elderly people and the job was completed quickly. Highly recommend

    Job well done.

    Austin completed the job of fixing the handle back on the oven very quickly which was important as it is in a holiday let. Good communication.
