Basingstoke HANDYMAN

Basingstoke Handyman Charges


The reason It is so difficult to find someone to carry out the small jobs is because we need to work whole days and small jobs only last an hour or a few hours. That is perhaps the main reason most tradesman don’t take on the small jobs. Add to that, customers will say “can you come at 10.00am, when half the morning is over.


To make a living therefore, I need to be efficient and complete many jobs per day.. By laying out my scale of charges, you can have some idea of what I will charge for on site time.


You can help me a lot by offering me a half day’s work or have me fix other things while I am with you.


I do carry lots of spare parts to avoid costly time away from site wherever possible and certainly don’t drag jobs out. . I’ll try not to “shoot off” for parts, thought it is inevitable some of the time.
