About Cycling Handyman
Professional home maintenance with a zero-carbon footprint in EH13.
Eco-Friendly Repairs for Edinburgh
Hi, I’m your Cycling Handyman. Based in the heart of EH13 (Colinton/Oxgangs), I provide a reliable home maintenance service delivered entirely by electric bike and cargo trailer. I believe that home repairs shouldn’t cost the Earth—or clog up our local streets with more vans.
Why the Bike?
- Zero Emissions: No fuel, no fumes, just clean energy.
- Parking-Friendly: No permits required; I pull right up to your door.
- Reliably Local: I bypass the bypass and stay on time.

Local Service Area
To keep my service efficient and green, I focus on a 2-mile radius around EH13 9LD. I am a proud local neighbor serving:
Half day rate or full day rate available for areas outwith 2 miles.
As I travel by bike, bulky materials (kitchen units, tiles, doors, flooring) must be on-site before I arrive.
- Materials: Bulky items (flooring, doors, units) must be on-site before I arrive. I provide all professional fixings, glues, and tools.
- Waste: I will tidy, sweep, and bag all project waste (sawdust, offcuts, packaging) into heavy-duty bags. Disposal of these bags remains the responsibility of the customer.
