I’m based in Irthlingborough, Northamptonshire, and I cover the surrounding towns and villages including Higham Ferrers, Rushden, Burton Latimer, Raunds, Thrapston, Isham, Finedon and Barton Seagrave. If you’re unsure whether your address is within my service zone, just drop me a message or call — I’m happy to travel a little for larger jobs.
I deal with a wide range of property maintenance tasks. Some examples: fixing leaky taps and showers, resealing baths/showers, furniture and flat-pack assembly, small plastering patches, replacing sockets and light switches (like-for-like), mounting TVs, installing shelving, basic carpentry, and more. See the full list on our services page. If there’s something not listed please don’t hesitate to get in touch to ask!
I aim to keep things transparent. If your property is within my service area, I typically include a modest travel allowance within my quote rather than a separate call-out fee. For more remote requests, I’ll let you know up front if there’s an extra charge.
You can send me a message via the contact form on the website (including your address and a description or photos of the work needed), call me directly, drop me an email or even a Whatsapp message. I’ll respond with an estimate or arrange to visit for a precise quote.
Yes — I carry public liability insurance so you can have peace of mind that both you and your property are protected during every job.
It helps if any areas to be worked on are cleared of obstructions and easily accessible. For example, move furniture, remove fragile items, and ensure that any necessary power or water supplies are turned on (if applicable). Wild cards like pets are good to manage too!
The time depends on the job’s complexity. Simple tasks like resealing or replacing a socket may be done in an hour or less, while more involved jobs will take longer. I’ll always give you a time estimate when quoting.
Yes, my minimum charge is the hourly rate for your area. Usually £40.00 which typically includes a service charge and local travel fee. Materials and consumables are not included in my hourly rate, but may be included in a fixed price job.

My day rate for a larger job is typically £250.00 but this may change slightly depending on the complexity or risks involved in the job itself.
I aim to assist when I can. If you have a genuine emergency (e.g. a serious leak), contact me and I’ll see if I can fit you in quickly. However, for non-urgent tasks, it’s best to schedule in advance. Depending on how urgent the job is, there may be an additional emergency call out fee of £40.00
For many jobs I carry standard fittings and materials. If the task requires special or bespoke parts, I’ll let you know and either source them or ask you to supply them. I’ll always discuss options with you first before proceeding.
I accept cash, bank transfer, and (if feasible) card payments. Payment is due upon completion of the job, unless otherwise agreed in advance.
It’s not always necessary, but we recommend someone be present at the start of the job to go over the details. We can make arrangements for key drop-off/pick-up if needed.
I operate all over Northamptonshire. However, I generally stay around the local area to Irthlingborough. This includes but is not exclusive to Irthlingborough, Finedon, Higham Ferrers, Rushden, Stanwick, Raunds, Thrapston, Isham and Burton Latimer.
