Leaking pipes under kitchen sink and leak in en suite
Josh was quick to respond and came out the next day to help solve the issue. We’d had a really hard few days after moving in and hadn’t been able to use our washing machine or dishwasher so I was over the moon when Josh said he’d sorted it all! We noticed a very small leak later than evening and contacted Josh who came out the following morning to sort it! Would recommend and use again. Very friendly too!Verified reviewerJob location: BS7RFlorence L10 General Plumbing

Hi, my name is Josh. 15 years ago I put my career as a structural engineer on hold to renovate what was to be a series of properties for rental and sale.
During this time, I learnt a unique set of skills and knowledge to help others in all aspects of property maintenance.
From fixing a tap to bespoke built-in shelves or talking through options to prepare a property for rental or sale, I enjoy working with my clients.
I pride myself on being polite and reliable, respect for someone's home being core to how i work.
I also have experience working in tenanted properties and with vulnerable customers, always making sure to communicate clearly.
Often there will be no need to call separate tradesmen for separate jobs, contact the helpful handyman for one solution to all your needs.
My prices are affordable, and I provide a free quotation. Please feel free to WhatsApp, call or email me.
Some examples of how I can help:
- Wall hanging (I have lots experience with many different items)
- Carpentry (door furniture repair/replacement, shelving, kitchen cabinet hinge repairs)
- Decorating (filling and repair of walls, repainting, repair of water damage.)
- Finishing touches (snagging lists, picture frames, curtain and blind fitting)
- Plumbing (tap replacement, toilet cistern and seat replacement)
- Upvc repair (lock replacement, hinge replacement, Door repair and re-alignment)
- Bespoke (alcove shelves, airing cupboard storage, sheds and fences)
- Gardening (trimming, lawn-mowing, pruning, weeding)
