EMSWORTHHANDYMAN
Most tradespeople won't answer for a shelf or a flat-pack. I started Emsworth Handyman to fix that: Police (DBS) checked, same reliable person every time, fixed price upfront, repairs, maintenance and general jobs done properly, by someone who lives round the corner.
On time and dependable. If Neil says Tuesday at 9, he means Tuesday at 9.
Police checked (DBS), honest quotes, and a key you can hand over with no worries.
Based in Emsworth, working Emsworth, Havant and the surrounding villages.
Most of Neil's work comes from people telling their neighbours. Here's a handful of the notes and calls we've had back.
"My late husband always did the odd jobs and I was dreading finding someone I could trust with him gone. Neil quoted me a fair price and stuck to it, down to the pound."
"He said 8 o'clock and he was outside at eight o'clock, kettle wasn't even on yet. At my age you learn who to trust with a spare key, and Neil's one of them."
"He's not some van driving in from Portsmouth. Neil knows the village, he knows my neighbours, and if something's not right he's five minutes away, not five days."
"Three separate jobs over two years now, the gate, the gutter and a sticking door, and every single time he's turned up when he said he would. That's rarer than people think."
"I'm on my own now and a bit wary of who I let in the house. Neil always rings ahead, wipes his feet, and never once has he tried to sell me a job I didn't need."
"Everyone on our road has his number pinned to the fridge. When you get to 79 you want a familiar face doing the ladder work, not somebody you found on the internet."
Shelves, curtain rails, cabinet handles, TV mounts and more, fitted securely and level.
Sticking doors, loose hinges, leaking taps and the small jobs that pile up.
Gutters, fences, gates and seasonal upkeep to keep small problems from turning into big ones.
If you're not sure who to call, call Neil first. He'll tell you honestly if it's not his job.
Neil has been fixing, fitting and maintaining homes for over a two decade. No call centre, no subcontractors, no surprises on the invoice. Just the same person turning up, job after job, year after year.

Gas work, electrical wiring, structural alterations, and working at height beyond a standard step ladder. If your job needs a gas or electrical qualification, I'll tell you honestly and, where I can, point you to someone reliable.
