Practical help and a friendly face in Cirencester
Book Martin by the hour. Bring your list. He works through it. Repairs, errands, and a cup of tea while he does it.
Hi, I'm Martin and I live in Cirencester. I help people get the small jobs done that pile up at home. Like putting up a shelf, fixing a door handle, painting the fence, dropping a parcel at the post office, popping into the pharmacy, sitting in for a delivery, changing a hard-to-reach lightbulb, and if I've got a cup of tea while I do it, I couldn't be happier.
The idea is simple; book me by the hour. Make a list and I will work through it. Most visits are a mixture of jobs where some is practical work, an errand or two, and a friendly chat. I particularly enjoy helping older residents who want to carry on doing the things that matter to them in their own home.
I don't take on anything too involved or specialist. No gas, no rewiring, no big extensions. Just the everyday help that keeps a home running and a person feeling looked after.
