How it works
No lengthy quotation process for everyday jobs.
I'd rather spend time doing the work than driving around giving quotes. A short message and a few photographs are usually the easiest place to start.
01
Tell me about the job
WhatsApp a description and some photos, or use the short enquiry form below to put the details together.
02
I'll let you know if I can help
I review enquiries during working hours, Monday–Thursday, and will confirm whether it's a suitable job and discuss availability.
03
Agree the cost before work starts
You'll know the starting rate and any additional travel or material charges before we go ahead.
Straightforward pricing
Clear from the outset.
For the kind of work I take on, a conversation and a few photographs are often enough to get things moving. I only take on a limited number of jobs in Bath and the immediate area.
Travel and materials are extra. I'll explain any minimum charge or different rate before we agree to proceed. Project management, design advice and consulting are scoped and priced separately, with the fee agreed in advance.
Starting hourly rate
£30 / hour
Plus travel and materials. Costs agreed before work starts.

A few useful things to know
Questions, answered.
Do I need a visit just to get started?
Not usually. A brief description and clear photographs normally help me assess whether I can take the job on. If a visit is needed, I'll explain that first.
Where do you work?
Primarily in Bath and nearby neighbourhoods. I keep my working area local, so please include the job postcode when you get in touch.
Can you do plumbing and electrical work?
I consider smaller, suitable tasks within my competence. No gas work, major electrical installations or work that requires a specialist certification.
Can you help with a holiday let or managed rental?
Yes. I can assist local letting agents, landlords, Airbnb hosts and holiday-home owners with appropriate minor repairs, fittings, snagging and general upkeep.
Can you help a small local business?
Yes. I can help independent shops, cafés, offices and other small workplaces in and around Bath with suitable everyday maintenance, fittings and smaller repairs. Work is arranged in advance rather than as an emergency call-out.
Can you help plan or oversee a property project?
Yes, for suitable smaller projects. I can offer practical ideas, help define the work, coordinate trades and keep an eye on progress. Structural design, regulated work and specialist technical advice must be provided by the relevant qualified professionals. We would agree the scope and fee before starting.
How are costs worked out?
The starting rate is £30 an hour, with travel and materials additional. I'll discuss the likely scope and any alternative pricing before work starts. Not every job is suitable for an hourly arrangement.
