Highlights

"David did a superb job trimming a door which now opens and closes perfectly. He wasn’t able to use a planer because there was a risk that the window glass would break so did it all with a sander which took a lot longer but the end result was perfect and the cost more than reasonable. Great value and Highly recommended."

"Highly recommend David for any handyman jobs. Every job he completed was excellent from putting up curtains and window blinds to securely hanging up heavy pictures and mirrors. Really pleased with the work undertaken and will definitely use him again if needed."

"Excellent work. Friendly. Reasonable price."
