“Colin is always my go to person for my rental and personal properties, good solution solver, experienced in many aspects of the trade and very knowledgeable. Needed a rental turned around quickly, hanging a door, re siliconing areas of the bathroom and kitchen and generally tidying paint work. All this was done in good time. I will always recommend Handyman Hero, his feed back says it all.”

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Highlights
“Colin is a highly skilled problem solver and has completed several projects for us in the past year. He is now our go-to person for any job, big or small, that needs to be done around the house. Most recently, he has sorted out an issue with a noisy, rattling washing machine by re-routing the water feed and waste hoses, refitting the machine on a level surface, and replacing the relevant cabinet door. As always, his work has been completed to an excellent standard. His interactions with us are always pleasant and professional. We trust him completely and can confidently recommend him.”
