Handyman Knottingley

Handyman Knottingley, at an affordable price.

A dripping tap at eight in the morning and a full bathroom rip-out are very different jobs, but they have one thing in common - you want someone who turns up when they say they will and does it properly first time.

John has spent over 30 years working on domestic and commercial properties, in the UK and in America, and he brings that same standard to every job in Knottingley and the surrounding areas - whether it's twenty minutes of work or a fortnight of it.

No call-out charge for a look and a quote. No jargon. Just a straight answer on what needs doing, what it'll cost and when he can start.

Over 40 years on the tools, in two countries!

John started his trade in the 1980s at the age of 16 and has worked on everything from terraced houses in West Yorkshire to ranches in America. Working in the States taught him a different way of doing things - different materials, different standards, different problem-solving, and he's brought the useful parts to the UK with him.

What that experience actually means for you:

He's seen it before. Odd pipework, a previous "handyman" who bodged it, a house that isn't square anywhere.

It's rarely a surprise.

He quotes honestly. If a job's bigger than it looks, you'll hear that at the quote stage, not halfway through.

He knows when to call someone in. Gas work goes to a Gas Safe engineer and notifiable electrics go to a Part P registered electrician. John will arrange it as part of the job so you're not chasing trades yourself.

One person, start to finish. You deal with John. Not a call centre, not a different lad every morning.
