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!

Someone who says they can replace slates Ashwell as do minor electrical work should be avoided,handymen are just for basics like a bit of painting or gardening.

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.
