    Remove wallpaper and paint throughout the hoy

    Posted 17 September 2022

    Mike has removed wallpaper from a 40foot+ wall and repainted throughout the whole house. The work was completed to a very high standard with minimal disruption and at a fair price. Thanks for your hard work Mike, I love the transformation!

    Lots of small jobs including replacing a loft hatch, platerboard and plastering and painting

    Mike was punctual, communicated really well, tidied up after each job, ensured I was happy with the results. I booked him for the day to get many outstanding jobs around the house done and he was timely and got everything done to a high standard. Highly recommend as a trade to trust.

    Wallpapering a landing wall

    Posted 28 April 2021

    Another fantastic job from Mike! I've had him come to my home to complete several jobsover the last year and each time he is so professional and skilled, not to mention really reasonably priced! Mike wallpapered a landing wall for me today and it looks fantastic! I won't use anyone but him now for jobs around the house. Thanks again Mike!

    Mike Howard completed the work at my tenanted flat on 9th October 2020, I saw him that afternoon and the work was still in progress but appeared to be progressing okay. He invoiced me promptly for the completed work dated 9/10/2020 and I paid the agreed estimate of £555.00 into his account. My tenant contacted me about a problem with the bath panel at the beginning of November 2020 and I attended the flat to have a look on 9/11/2020. Mike did not fit the bath panels [side and end] correctly, leaving them unsupported along the bottom edges and unsecured, liable to movement when using

    Response from Southend Handyman

    I have not gone back to this job as the reasons are i lost my brother in law in december and informed the customer that i had to take time out of the business to look after my sister to which his reply was not the best we then went into lockdown and i have not been going into customers property and have said i will return once its safe to do so the bath panel was fitted correctly and the tenants wife checked over the work and as also the landlord so i'm surprised this panel has moved i will return and put any issues right once we can be sure it's ok and to do so.

    Waste of time- very poor service

    Posted 16 January 2021

    Mike attended our house to provide a quote for some work inside. He turned up without a mask and put one on only when asked. He mentioned he was very busy and only able to complete the smaller jobs. Mike advised he would provide a quote, but never did! I have sent a text and two emails following up and he has ghosted us. Very unprofessional and a waste of time.
