Home Improvements
Practical Home Improvements That Keep a Property Working Properly
Not every improvement is a project. A lot of what makes a house comfortable is smaller than that — a door that no longer catches, a room that has been made good after a leak, storage fitted into a space that was being wasted.
This is the work MR HANDY is built around: practical improvements to the parts of a home you use every day, handled by one person you can speak to directly.

Worth Knowing
Deciding What Is Worth Doing
It is usually cheaper to deal with small faults early. A door that drags will wear its frame, a loose fitting will eventually pull out of the wall, and a small area of damage tends to spread once it is left.
Grouping jobs also matters. Several small tasks handled in one visit costs less than the same tasks spread across separate visits, because much of the cost of any job is getting set up and cleared away.
Where a job crosses into gas, notifiable electrical or plumbing work, that part needs a registered trade. We will say so clearly rather than take it on, and you can arrange the specialist while we handle the rest.
