How it all began
Born and raised in the North West of England, for all my adult life (some 30+ years or more) I have honed a set of skills and a range of services to use around my own home and vehicles and the homes and vehicles of many others too.
My range of skills and services are diverse, from gardening to decorating, welding, electronics, computer repair, clothing repair, car servicing, joinery, bricklaying etc, you name it I’ve probably done it and done it well.
I haven’t ever needed to employ a tradesperson in my home because thankfully I am a naturally born all-rounder, innovative and diligent.
Over the years I’ve learnt that not everyone is capable or has the skills or tools to do DIY, odd jobs or sort out technology. Having parents approaching 80 years of age I understand only too well the difficulties they have getting small jobs done, even setting up a new mobile phone or setting up a new TV can be almost impossible for them. Of course, my parents call on me to help out and now so can you.
The type of jobs I tackle are the smaller jobs the ones that truly help life run more smoothly, if I am weeding your garden and have a blocked hoover I'll take a look.
Why enlist the services of a Handy Home Care?
We've all been there, neglecting those minor repairs or odd jobs around the home when life becomes too hectic. Or maybe you simply haven't got the skills, experience or ability to tackle them.
Hiring a Handy Home Care enables you to efficiently address all those tasks in one go, crossing them off your list for good.
Beyond simple convenience, a handyperson's expertise ensures that home renovations or repairs are conducted well and up to a good standard.
More importantly, given my extensive experience in domestic repairs and enhancements, I'll swiftly complete the job, saving you valuable time—whether it's days, weeks, or even months.
While specialist contractors are ideal for larger jobs like constructing a porch or adding an extension, Handy Homecare is perfect for handling minor touch-ups and swift fixes that can significantly enhance your home.
