What Sammy can sort out

Six kinds of work, one number to call. If your job is not listed, ask — it is probably still a yes.

Most handyman jobs fall into one of the six groups below, but the list is not exhaustive and it is not meant to be. If you have something that does not fit neatly anywhere, send a message describing it. It is almost always something we have done before.

Every job is quoted before it starts. For bigger work like tiling, painting a whole room or a garage revamp, we will come and look first so the price is accurate rather than a guess. For smaller repairs, a clear photo on WhatsApp is usually enough to give you a figure the same day.

01

Repairs and general maintenance

Cupboard doors that will not close, hinges that have dropped, toilet seats and cisterns, garage doors and trellis gates that stick or jam, faulty plug points, and blocked drains. This is the bread and butter — the small faults that are individually minor but add up to a property feeling neglected.

  • Cupboard doors and hinges
  • Toilet seats and cisterns
  • Garage doors and trellis gates
  • Faulty plug points
  • Blocked drains, taps and leaks
  • Roof and gutter repairs

02

Interior work

Painting inside and out, hanging curtains and fitting blinds, mounting a TV on brick or drywall, hanging doors that do not fit properly, replacing handles and locks, swapping taps and shower heads, fitting kitchen cupboards, and general carpentry. If it is inside the house and it needs doing, it is on this list.

  • Interior and exterior painting
  • Curtains, rails and blinds
  • TV mounting
  • Doors, handles and locks
  • Taps and shower heads
  • Carpentry and shelving

03

Installations

Furniture assembly, shelves and floating cupboards, mirrors and picture frames hung straight and secure, CCTV and DSTV installations, and bathroom fittings like towel rails, medicine cabinets and toothbrush holders. Fixings are chosen for what is actually behind the wall, so nothing works loose later.

  • Furniture and flat-pack assembly
  • Shelves and floating cupboards
  • Heavy mirrors and artwork
  • CCTV and DSTV
  • Bathroom fittings
  • Curtain rails and rods

04

Electrical

Light fittings and downlights, ceiling and bathroom extractor fans, additional outlets, air conditioning units and re-wiring work. Tell us what you need and we will confirm exactly what is involved and what it will cost before any work starts.

  • Light fittings and downlights
  • Ceiling and bath fans
  • Plug points and outlets
  • Air conditioning
  • Re-wiring
  • Fault finding

05

Small renovations

Bathroom tiling and grout cleaning, garage revamps, boundary walls, filling and repairing wall cracks, full room repainting and gutter clearing. Bigger than a repair, smaller than a building project — quoted properly after a look at the job.

  • Bathroom tiling
  • Tile and grout cleaning
  • Garage revamps
  • Boundary walls
  • Wall crack repair
  • Gutter cleaning

06

Security fittings

Trellis gates and swing gates, burglar bars, CCTV cameras and remote IP cameras, intercoms and screens. Security hardware only works if it is fitted into something solid, so the fixing matters as much as the product.

  • Trellis and swing gates
  • Burglar bars
  • CCTV cameras
  • Remote IP cameras
  • Intercoms and screens
  • Gate motors and repairs

How it works

From your message to the job being done

No drawn-out process, no waiting a week for someone to come and look.

  1. Send through the job

    Call, WhatsApp or fill in the form. Describe what needs doing and send a photo if you have one — it saves a trip and gets you a more accurate price.

  2. Get a price

    You will have a figure the same day. For bigger jobs like tiling or a garage revamp, we will come and look first so the quote is real rather than a guess.

  3. Pick a time

    Choose a slot that suits you. For complexes, schools and retirement homes we work around access rules and quiet hours.

  4. Job done, place left clean

    The work is finished properly, the mess is cleared, and the packaging goes with us.
