Handyman Services in Suffolk
Repairs, carpentry, decks, fencing and full bathroom remodels, all handled personally by Andrew rather than passed off to whoever's free that day.
General Handyman Repairs in Suffolk
Shutters rehung, curtain rods put up, storm doors fitted, and the small jobs that pile up around a house handled in one visit.
What's included
- Shutters and curtain rods hung
- Storm and screen doors fitted
- Doors, hinges and locks adjusted
- Drywall patches and touch-up paint
- Shelving, mirrors and fixtures mounted
Most calls start as a list rather than one job: a shutter that's come loose, a curtain rod that needs hanging, a door that sticks. Andrew works through the list in one visit where the work allows, so you're not booking a separate trade for every item.
Materials are matched to what's already on the house wherever possible, and anything patched or painted is left looking like it was never touched, not just fixed.
Bathroom Renovations in Suffolk
Full bathroom remodels from tear-out to tile, fixtures and finish work, run as one job start to finish.
What's included
- Tear-out of old fixtures and tile
- Floor, wall and shower tiling
- Vanity, toilet and fixture install
- Plumbing connections for new fixtures
- Trim, paint and finish work
A bathroom remodel is handled as one continuous job rather than a string of separate contractors coming and going. Old fixtures and tile come out, new tile and fixtures go in, and the finish work, trim and paint gets done at the end so the room is ready to use.
Andrew talks through what's realistic for the space and the budget before anything is torn out, so there are no surprises once the old bathroom is already gone.
Custom Carpentry in Suffolk
Porch posts, cornices and trim cut and fitted to match what's already there, not just the nearest stock size.
What's included
- Porch posts and columns replaced
- Cornice and trim carpentry
- Custom cuts to match existing profiles
- Finish carpentry and painting prep
- Rails and balusters repaired
Older homes rarely take standard lumber sizes without modification. Andrew measures and cuts trim, posts and cornice work to match the existing profile rather than forcing a stock piece to fit, which is what keeps the finished job looking original.
Carpentry work is generally finished with paint or prep for paint before Andrew leaves the site, so it's ready and protected rather than left as bare wood.
Deck Building & Repair in Suffolk
New decks built from the ground up and existing decks repaired board by board so they're solid to walk on again.
What's included
- New deck framing and decking boards
- Rotted or loose boards replaced
- Joists and support posts repaired
- Railings and steps rebuilt
- Deck surfaces prepped for staining
Whether it's a new deck or an existing one that's started to sag or soften underfoot, the framing gets checked first. A deck that looks fine on top can still have joists or posts that need attention underneath, and that's where problems come back from if they're skipped.
On repairs, only the sections that actually need replacing are pulled up, keeping the cost down while still leaving a deck that's solid to stand and walk on.
Fence Installation & Repair in Suffolk
Fencing supplied and put up, or existing panels and posts repaired, so the line stays straight and secure.
What's included
- Fence panels and posts installed
- Damaged or rotted sections replaced
- Gates hung and adjusted to fit
- Posts reset and re-secured
- Fence lines straightened and levelled
New fencing is set out and installed with the posts set properly rather than just driven in, which is what keeps a fence line straight over time instead of leaning within a season or two.
Repairs are just as often the call: a panel blown out in a storm, a post that's rotted at the base, a gate that's dropped and won't latch. Those get fixed on their own without needing to replace the whole run.
Porch & Wood Rot Repair in Suffolk
Rotted porch posts and framing replaced, with the actual cause of the rot fixed so it doesn't come back.
What's included
- Rotted posts and framing replaced
- Cornice repair and replacement
- Source of moisture identified and fixed
- Posts and rails painted after repair
- Estimate and timeframe given upfront
A rotted porch post that's been replaced before and rots again usually means the actual cause was never dealt with, whether that's water pooling, poor drainage, or a post sitting directly on a surface that holds moisture. Andrew looks for that cause before doing the repair, not after.
Once the source is identified, the rotted post, framing or cornice is replaced properly and the surrounding posts and rails are painted to match, so the fix looks finished rather than patched.
How It Works
Three steps, no pressure
1
Call or message
Tell Andrew what's going on, whether that's one repair or a full list. He'll ask what he needs to know to give you a straight answer, and if it's easier to see it in person first, he'll say so.
2
Free quote
Andrew comes and looks at the job himself and gives you a no-obligation estimate before anything starts, so you know the price and the timeframe going in.
3
The work
He shows up when he says he will, does the work himself, and leaves the site clean. If it's carpentry or repair work, it's finished and painted to match, not left half done.
