Looking for a jack of all trades type handyman in Pendle area.
Keep needing bits of different trades.
Someone who could turn up and replace some slates, mend a gate, change a socket, fix a toilet etc
Would be grateful for any recommendations!

Don’t get the odd job man I had. I left him a list of ten jobs and he only did numbers 1,3,5,7 and 9!

(Neither handy nor local, so don't apply!)

I rang this guy and I said 'Are you the local odd-job man?'
He said 'That depends on where you're calling from'.

Another vote for one stop. So far done outside lights, replaced a Neff fridge door, mended an item of furniture and repaired and painted a roof after a leak.
