Property maintenance and home improvement, done properly.
I'm Paul, your local Dartmouth handyman. Decking, fencing, carpentry, tiling, flooring and painting, plus all the odd jobs on the list you keep putting off. One reliable trade for the lot.
One trade, the whole job list
From a full deck with a sea view to a shelf that needs hanging, it's the same careful finish and the same person on the tools. Here's the work that comes up most.
Decking
Composite and timber decking built to sit right with your garden, sea view or slope. Balustrades, steps and screening included.
Fencing & Gates
Slatted contemporary screens, closeboard runs and bespoke garden gates, hung square and built to last through a coastal winter.
Carpentry & Joinery
Built-in alcove shelving, window seats with storage, skirting and second-fix joinery, all made to measure on site.
Kitchens
Worktops swapped, units fitted and tiled splashbacks put in, the practical kitchen jobs that lift a room without a full refit.
Tiling
Splashbacks, kitchens and bathrooms tiled with a clean, even finish and proper attention to the cuts and grout lines.
Flooring
Laminate and timber flooring laid level and neat, with beading and trims finished off the way they should be.
Painting & Decorating
Interior and exterior painting with careful prep, so the finish lasts and the edges stay sharp.
Property Maintenance
Repairs, home improvements and all those odd jobs on the list you keep meaning to get to. One reliable local trade for the lot.
Outdoor spaces that make the most of a Dartmouth view
Terraces, decking and screening built to weather salt air and sit right with the slope of a South Hams garden. The kind of finish that turns an awkward back garden into the best room in the house.
