Local Knowledge

Fixings and Doncaster Walls

What a handyman job actually involves in Doncaster depends more on the wall behind it than on the job itself. The interwar semis around Wheatley, Bessacarr and Balby are mostly solid brick, and they will hold a loaded shelf or a television bracket on ordinary plugs without complaint.

The post-war estates around Bentley, Cantley and Intake are a different matter. Plasterboard partitions will not carry weight on standard fixings, so anything heavy needs the timber studs finding behind the board, or fixings properly rated for the load. That single detail is the most common reason something comes off a wall a few months after it went up.

Newer developments towards Rossington, Edenthorpe and Armthorpe are quick to work in — square openings, level floors, predictable stud spacing — but they are plasterboard throughout, so the same rules apply to anything being hung.

Out towards Tickhill, Sprotbrough and Bawtry there are older stone and brick properties where very little is square. Doors get fitted to the opening rather than straight out of the packet, and trim usually needs scribing rather than simply mitring at 45 degrees.

Questions

Common Questions

If your question is not here, ask — you will get a straight answer.

Is there a minimum charge for a small job?

There is no minimum job size — small jobs are most of the work. What is worth knowing is that much of the cost of any visit is arriving and setting up, so if a task only takes twenty minutes we will usually suggest pairing it with anything else on your list so the visit is better value for you.

Do you charge by the hour or by the job?

Work is quoted before it starts, so you know the figure in advance rather than watching a clock. For a list of small tasks, send the whole list and you will get a price for the visit as a whole.

Do you cover the Doncaster villages as well as the town?

Yes. The villages are covered as standard, including Tickhill, Sprotbrough, Bawtry, Armthorpe, Edenthorpe, Rossington, Hatfield and Thorne. If you are a little further out than that, ask — coverage is not a hard boundary.

Can you tell me what a job will cost from a photograph?

Very often, yes. For fitting work, small repairs and anything visible in a picture, a couple of clear photographs and a rough measurement are usually enough for a realistic figure without anyone needing to visit first.
