    Replace cupboard door and bathroom coving.

    Michael offered a swift, professional service with the work completed to a high standard. This was done at a good price and I would recommend his services.

    Replace down lighters in the bathroom

    Michael suggested replacing lights rather than trying to repair a damaged hole which made perfect sense! He arrived slightly earlier than arranged & completed the job much quicker than I expected. You wouldn’t have known he’d been in the bathroom. He is very personable & I will definitely be using him again.

    Venting kitchen hob extractor outside of house

    Michael was very prompt in attending to quote and explained things clearly. The job was done quickly over two days. Michael arrived promptly each day. He was friendly and polite, cleaning the site after each visit. We are very pleased with the result and would definitely use him again.

    Real honest tradesmen are out there and this is one of them.

    This is the third time I've asked Michael to come and do some work for me at my house. It can be hard finding a real trustworthy and reliable tradesman but Michael is just that. Always punctual, always polite, always professional. The work carried out is to the highest standard too. I would have no hesitation in recommending him if you are looking to have any jobs done in the house.

The original company was founded in 1987 as Swift Roofing Co, then about 10 years later we started building extensions/loft conversions and general building works and became Swift Roofing and Building Co.

We have now diversified into all aspects of handyman services which includes all jobs in and around your home and garden and have now become HANDYMAN ABOUT THE HOUSE.

We can do:

  • small alterations / kitchen lounge knock throughs.
  • All odd jobs, put up curtain rails and shelves, assemble flat pack furniture.
  • picture / mirror hanging.
  • no job too small.
  • Mowing the lawn/tidying up the garden/fencing repairs/power washing patio/ decking.
  • Just ask, if we can't help you then we know someone who can.

All work is guaranteed and carried out by me if other tradesmen are needed then they are all professional people who I have used and trusted for many years.

I believe in delivering a high standard of workmanship, courteous manners and punctuality as if I am carrying out work in my own family home.
