    Genuine Tradesman

    Posted 09 May

    I asked for a quote to do some work and sent the original quote from another handyman. Conrad was very honest and said he could not do it any cheaper and suggested I stayed with the other handyman. I was very impressed by his honesty and sound advice.

    Refixing bike racks on garage wall

    Posted 15 April

    This was a tricky job as the bike racks had come out of the wall due to poor fixings. Conrad responded very promptly to my call for help and managed to repair the damaged wall and replace the racks in exactly the same locations but with secure and reliable fixings.
