What I can do for your home

Every job below comes with the same deal: a free quote, a fixed price agreed up front, and the work done properly. If something's not on the list, ask — if I can't do it, I'll tell you straight.

The work

Eight things I do every week.

No job is too small, and none is too fiddly. These are the jobs that fill my week around Narborough — click any of them to ask for a quote.

Repairs & odd jobs

The little jobs that pile up — fixed in one visit.

Every home has a list of small jobs that never quite gets done. That's my bread and butter. Book me for a morning or an afternoon and we'll work through as much of your list as we can fit in.

I bring the tools and the fixings for the common stuff, so most jobs are sorted on the first visit. If something turns out to be a bigger job than it looked — a wiring issue, say — I'll tell you honestly and point you to the right trade.

  • Dripping taps & leaks
  • Sticking doors & windows
  • Squeaky floorboards
  • Furniture repairs
  • Replacing rotten trim
  • Re-grouting & resealing

Flat-pack furniture being assembled with an Allen key

Flat-pack assembly

Wardrobes, desks and beds — built properly, not bodged.

That wardrobe with 94 parts and instructions in four languages? I've built it. I assemble flat-pack furniture quickly and properly — square, solid and anchored to the wall where it needs to be.

If a part's missing or damaged when the box is opened, I'll spot it before we start and sort a replacement, rather than leaving you halfway through with a door that won't hang.

  • Wardrobes & drawers
  • Beds & bed frames
  • Desks & office chairs
  • Bookcases & shelving units
  • Garden furniture
  • Boxes taken away

Painting & decorating

One wall or a whole house, with clean lines and no mess.

Painting is where patience pays off. I prep properly — fill, sand and mask — because that's what makes the difference between a quick touch-up and a finish that still looks good in five years.

I work clean: sheets down, edges cut in by hand, tools washed and the room left as I found it, only better. I'm happy to advise on colours and finishes too.

  • Interior walls & ceilings
  • Woodwork & skirting
  • Exterior doors & frames
  • Fences & sheds
  • Small plaster repairs
  • Colour advice

Shelving & fittings

Level first time — shelves, blinds, brackets and mirrors.

There's an art to putting something on a wall so it stays there. I find the studs and battens, use the right fixings for your wall type, and get it level — including on walls that haven't been level since the 1930s.

Whether it's a single picture frame or a wall of shelving, everything's fitted to last, and I'll show you how much weight it can safely take.

  • Shelves & brackets
  • TV wall mounts
  • Curtain poles & blinds
  • Mirrors & pictures
  • Towel rails & hooks
  • Door & cabinet hardware

Tiling

Splashbacks and bathroom walls, tiled neat and sealed.

Kitchen splashbacks, bathroom walls and feature panels — tiled with even spacing, clean cuts and neat grout lines, then sealed properly so water stays where it belongs.

I also refresh existing tiling: re-grouting, re-siliconing baths and showers, and replacing the odd cracked tile so you don't have to redo the whole wall.

  • Kitchen splashbacks
  • Bathroom walls
  • Re-grouting
  • Re-siliconing
  • Replacing cracked tiles
  • Waterproof sealing

Gutter clearing

Cleared before blockages cost you a fortune.

Blocked gutters quietly cause the most expensive problems on a house — damp, rotten fascias and water pouring down the walls. I clear them out by hand, check the joints and flush them through.

Best done in autumn after the leaves come down. While I'm up there I'll flag anything that looks like it'll be a problem next winter, so you can plan rather than panic.

  • Full gutter clearing
  • Downpipe flushing
  • Joint checks & resealing
  • Fascia & soffit checks
  • Moss & leaf removal
  • Annual maintenance

Gardening & tidy-ups

Lawns, hedges and borders back under control.

The garden has a habit of getting away from you. I handle the jobs that keep it in check — grass cut and edged, hedges trimmed back, borders weeded and everything cleared away afterwards.

Good for a one-off blitz before the in-laws visit or a regular tidy-up every few weeks. Green waste goes in your bin or is taken away — your choice, just say when you book.

  • Grass cutting & edging
  • Hedge & shrub trimming
  • Weeding & borders
  • Garden clearance
  • Small tree pruning
  • Seasonal tidy-ups

Wooden garden fence panels with concrete posts

Fencing

Panels replaced, posts set and repairs that last.

Norfolk wind and rot see to fence panels eventually — the trick is catching a wobbly post before it takes three others down with it. I replace panels, set new posts in concrete and repair what's worth saving.

Whether it's one storm-damaged panel or a whole run of new fencing, I'll give you a straight answer on what needs replacing and what can stay, and leave the site tidy with the old panels taken away.

  • Fence panel replacement
  • New posts & concreteing
  • Storm damage repairs
  • Gates hung & adjusted
  • Feather-edge boarding
  • Old panels taken away
