I feel extremely lucky to have found Doug to help us settle into our new apartment. He installed additional support behind the plasterboard and securely mounted our TV, installed a bathroom mirror cabinet, and hung a hallway mirror, all to an exceptionally high standard. Doug is professional, polite, incredibly talented, and takes real pride in his work. I’m very fussy when it comes to getting things done around the house, but I was genuinely impressed by the quality and care he put into every job. He also leaves everything clean and tidy afterwards, which I really appreciated. I will definitely be using Doug again for future projects, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and reliable handyman!!

Great experience using the Cycling Handyman on a project. He was prompt, courteous, knowledgeable and adaptable. He was also great to have around as he was kind to the kids and tidied up brilliantly. 100 percent recommend.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

bike

How do you get here on a bike?

I use a high-capacity electric bike and trailer. It’s faster than a van in Edinburgh traffic and allows me to reach remote or difficult-access properties easily.

cleanup

What about the mess?

My work can be dusty and noisy (especially drilling and sanding). While I handle the cleanup, please ensure the work area is clear of personal items before I start.

heavy load

Can you bring the kitchen tiles?

I am limited to carrying tools and small tubs of plaster/adhesive. All major materials must be delivered to your site prior to the job starting.
