What I do
£95 call-out, first hour included, £45 per hour after that - or a fixed price on a specific job.
The small jobs that a builder will not turn out for and a plumber does not cover. Sticking doors, cracked plaster, dropped shelves, squeaking stairs on steep terraced houses. £95 call-out (first hour included), £45/hour after.
Spec & pricingGutter clear, gutter re-align, downpipe re-fix, joint replacement. Salt-air corrosion on seafront and clifftop metalwork means more frequent checks than inland streets. £95 call-out (first hour included), £45/hour after, plus parts.
Spec & pricingRotten fascia and soffit patches, sash-window sill repair on Leas villas, feather-edge closeboard patching. Salt-laden coastal air ages exposed timber faster than a few miles inland.
Spec & pricingSlipped tiles re-bedded, ridge re-pointing, flashing patched, chimney-side lead reset. Not full re-roofs - the small jobs a roofing firm will not book in for, sorted before the next Channel gale.
Spec & pricingInterior rooms, exterior fascia and soffit, Leas-villa sash-window re-paint, seafront-grade exterior systems that actually hold up to salt spray. Fixed price per room, one working day per standard room.
Spec & pricingStorm-damaged panel replacement, dropped gates re-hung, clifftop boundary post resets. Same-week callout after a Channel blow, which happens more here than most Kent postcodes.
Spec & pricingDripping taps replaced, isolation valves added, toilet fill-valve swaps, waste-trap replacement, outside-tap installs. Not boiler work - fleet stops at the CH boundary.
Spec & pricingLike-for-like socket and switch replacement, outdoor light re-fix, CU-side isolation and tidy. notifiable work routed to a qualified electrician - flagged at quote stage.
Spec & pricingIKEA and equivalent flat-pack assembly, wall-mounted TVs on stud or brick, curtain poles, blinds, floating shelves, bathroom accessories. Fixed price per unit.
Spec & pricingStanding maintenance visits for holiday-let and second-home owners near the seafront and Harbour Arm. Quarterly walk-round, snag list, fixed price per visit. Post-storm check option after a Channel gale.
