    We have used Iain on numerous occasions for work around our home and rental property. His workmanship is excellent and at his rates are extremely good. We are always happy with any work he has undertaken and cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you Iain.

  • b************g (415) Thursday, 22 August 2024

    Absolutely perfect. I required a small over the gutter ramp for my mobility scooter. The job was done quickly and within the time frame stated. The price was really good too. The wee ramp is just what I needed. Thanks for doing an excellent job and being friendly and respectful. AAAAAAAAAAAAA+++++++++++++

    Like everyone else, I couldn't be happier with Iain's work. He is quick, efficient, reliable, diligent, arrives on time and sticks to his quote. He did joinery/carpentry type work for me and knew what he was doing and did the job to a very high standard. The first handyman I have used that I would 100% recommend.

  • n****3 (30) Thursday, 9 January 2014

    I previously had an internal door blocked off by a 'tradesman' who left the job incomplete and looking awful. I was hesitant to have another tradie in my house after that experience, but contacted Iain after reading his reviews. He arrived on time, did an excellent job, cleaned up thoroughly, and I couldn't be happier with the finished job. His charge was extremely reasonable for the work done. I'll be using Iain again & recommend him to anyone needing home repairs or maintenance.

  • o**********3 (0) Monday, 6 January 2014

    Iain fitted our kitchen along with removal of the chippie and replacement Gib. He did an excellent job, did a full days work every day and always kept the work site clean and tidy. For any job big or small I would thoroughly recommend Iain for the job as he is trustworthy, reliable and affordable. Thanks for all your hard work!

  • k*****e (8) Thursday, 19 December 2013

    prompt and quick worker. reasonable rates!

  • m****1 (177) Wednesday, 6 February 2013

    Iain removed a rotton half of a window then framed it up, jibbed and weatherwoods. Even put in batts before putting in the jib. Worked very quickly and very reasonably priced. Workmanship is a very high standard. We are rapt with the result.

  • m*********e (334) Friday, 23 November 2012

    Iain installed flatpack cupboards in my laundry, shaved doors for a good carpet fit and fixed locks on doors that had not closed properly for a few years, I would have no problem recommending his services as I am more than satisfied, Thanks Iain :-}

  • y**3 (474) Thursday, 10 May 2012

    excellent work did everything we asked of him and more,clean ,tidy very happy with the wardrobe he created,would not hesitate to use in the future thanks .

  • s********1 (712) Sunday, 19 February 2012

    the service provided from start to finish was beyond excellent. Ian was quick with his quote, efficient with his work, tidy in his workmanship, cleaned up after each day of work and most importantly listened to what I wanted and did what I wanted. He had some good ideas that he put accross in a non condesending way. The only thing I would change is to get him to do the whole job. I only used him for his building skills. He has contacts that proved extremely helpful in a sticky stituation. thnxs
